Inside No9, Stage Fright tonight in Brum was genius, thoroughly enjoyed that. Bonus, pre theatre pints of Wild Raven and Brother Rabbit plus a Guava Christmas sharer half in The Colmore.

The Fat Cat, Norwich, is a special pub. I’ve pulled many pints and made many memories there, so it was a pleasure telling its story for @pelliclemag.com

#HeinekenUK announced today it's reducing the alcohol content of Foster's Lager 3.7% to 3.4% claiming this is to meet "demands for a more health-conscious lifestyle." No mention of the fortune it will save on duty! In Feb it also reduced the ABV of Sol to 3.4% while increasing Draught prices by 2.9%
