The Shipwright's Arms. Inside this abomination of a glass is Southwark LPA which is thin and weedy. GBG? Well it is a fab boozer, but no way in my book. Two Sharps beers and this very poor beer.

Not sure where I saw it, but love the story of the cat, missing for 14 days, that just strolled back home and basically said " I'm back. Where's my dinner?"

E won the keyring at our CAMRA 50th Anniversary Quiz in Rochdale, while I had to "suffer" the official launch of Cask Boddingtons in Founders Hall in Manchester. Both had a great time though.

Up early. More Beer issue 72 final proof reading and corrections done by half seven. Now drinking tea. Will check my email to publisher once more, then shower before collecting and delivering Sunday newspapers to elderly neighbours. Then make brekkie. I'll need the Tavern later.

I'm about to nip down to JW Lees Brewery for a CAMRA North West tasting of JW Lees brewed Boddingtons Bitter! Should be interesting.

Rest stop at Georg Schneider. 30°C out there, so cooling Helles hitting the spot. Jolly non local with a companion are invited to sit at Stammtisch. Young lad looks terrified. Waitresses bustle in and out to the tables outside. The cheery atmosphere is overlaid by a strong smell of meaty gravy.
