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.

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.
