Caution: high gravity
Resisting the urge to have an argument with the parents; for suggesting that I stop drinking beer as “it’s bad for your health” whilst, at the same time, they serve up a brick of brie and fried bacon in an entire garlic baguette as dinner.

I suspect there’s fewer calories in a couple of pints.

Turned out nice again!

Time, perhaps, to free up the space inside the fridge door that has been occupied by this bottle for the last 20 months.

Best before 12/2024, should be fine! It hissed on opening so not gone flat, at least.

Wrexham opinions…

Lager – very sweet and a malty aroma. The head dissipated quickly.

A Welsh trinity has appeared!

After a brief food interlude, I wrapped up at the Two & Six micro on Snig Hill. Plenty of options to be going at!

Craft & Berry, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield.

Bit of a crowd inside, thought I was crashing a party! You've had an interior pic before, so here's outside…

Holy Goat Double Choc Orange stout, and Vault City Risalamande (again).

Barry's Bar, on London Road, Sheffield.

Cooking lager for a fiver. Sadly, no BBQ on tonight, the jerk chicken menu does look quite good.

Second is the Cricketer's Arms. I had to blag my way in, they enforce a season ticket holders only entry policy. Probably why it's a bit more sedate in here, just a couple of chaps watching snooker and the Pram Man (IYKYK).

Good to see a cask on, decent pint of Abbeydale Moonshine for £3.60.

Matchday pubs. Pubs that open only when a game is on. Apparently, they're a thing.

There's two on Bramhall Lane, by Sheffield United's ground. Whilst the Blades are playing, let's look in…

Always remember to keep your roasting tray in the fridge. To maintain its freshness, I suppose.

Right, that's quite enough Wetherspoons for one day. It's regular pubs from now on…

Pub stop 5 - Walham Green, Fulham.

Excellent conversion of the old station building. The bar is based in the former booking office windows.
November 29, 2025 at 3:54 PM
Right, where was I. Ah, yes…

Pub stop 4 - Alexander Fleming, Paddington

Glass and bricks. Boring. Nice canal views though.
November 29, 2025 at 3:49 PM
Pub stop 3 - Siegred, King of Essex, Basildon.

Pure, unadulterated chaos. Lunch plans scrapped - only the breakfast menu on, with a 60 minute wait.

Cooking lager and crisps it is, then!

Ooh. On camera too, ooh!

Pub stop 2 - Crosse Keys

A JDW that I've passed several times and not gone in‽ Error corrected! Great interior; not the most exciting cask selection but in good condition nonetheless.

Pub stop 1 - Sun Wharf, London Bridge

A bit of Wetherspotting is in progress. Apparently gets very busy so best get it out the way first!

I was intending to go out yesterday afternoon, but decided against it as it was dark and raining.

I wasn't intending to go out today, however...

Good start to the day. Gone to the supermarket and forgotten the shopping list.

I'll have to see how much I forget to pick up whilst trying to remember what I put on next week's meal plan.
November 27, 2025 at 11:16 AM
It's only Vault City again with more pudding flavour pudding beers...

(Not shown, an Apple Cinnamon Doughnut flavour one that I had in town yesterday but forgot to take a picture of!)
November 24, 2025 at 7:54 PM
No diet today, pie and pint instead.
