Bimbling down the auld Corpse Road with a view to a pint or two...

Love a good walk, pubs, music, beer, art, cider, Leicester Tigers RFC, the Sooty Show.

Got a new pen tidy for Christmas.

The final indulgence. This Vintage Port from the Symington Estate is probably a re-corked Quarles Harris or Cockburn. ‘94 is rated as an ‘Outstanding’ vintage, this is sweeter, fruitier, intensely herbal/liquorish, a good Port though not nearly as refined as I’d expect for nearly 30 years in bottle.

First drink of 2026, a nice easy drinking sweetish Tamnavulin Double Cask, my new hip flask of choice.

Happy New Year to you all.

Last beer o’the year…

The 2020 Fullers Vintage Ale, which is a lot better than the last one I tried, probably improved through keeping. I like the bitter orange and slightly burnt molasses flavour of this one.

In the absence of a firm confirmation that Liar Johnson isn’t still hanging around ready to fuck something else up in 2026…

A chewy liquorish and dark berry Nene Valley Brewery Bible Black Porter it is.

Yoiks! ‘London’ has rediscovered Car Boots 😳

Expect a ‘Glam’ new name, Street Food stalls, and a 200% rise in prices to follow…

‘It’s cooler than saying I bought this on Asos’: the big car boot sale rebrand
Whether Vinted’s to blame or TikTok’s to thank, people are flocking back to car parks in search of secondhand bargains. How did the car boot get hip again?

Saw the original earlier this month at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum at Ohio State. Worth a visit!

The NYE tradition of early-doors pints before scuttling off home like Woodlice in sunlight is now firmly established.

Just checking Trip Advisor to make sure Beerhouse is still good and came across the old pumpclip display which featured one of ours on it…
