I just discovered that the Villages Brewery is in Deptford. So, 28th of the month, on the way to their taproom, a pint of Villages Rodeo. A light, grapefruity beer with an intriguing aftertaste of anise or aniseed. Enjoyable in winter, it would be perfect on a warm summer night. I managed to complete the remaining 150 yards to their taproom, where I had a pint of their Rafiki for my 29th of the month. A light, grapefruity beer without an intriguing aftertaste of anise or aniseed. Enjoyable in winter, etc, etc. However, it did come with a rather soapy head, which started it off badly. Fine after a little while. Apparently, Village is the surname of the 2 brothers who started the microbrewery up. If they'd called themselves Village Brothers the barman probably wouldn't have had to explain.
Currently debriefing with a coffee porter, which doesn't count for the Tryathlon because I've had it before. I have a late afternoon meeting in a pretty good pub tomorrow, which means I may reach 31 prematurely.
