I've been working in Glasgow today so as is the tradition I called in Tesco at Lockerbie on the way home for a bit of 7.5% Williams Bros loveliness.

Happy Christmas, a session cask pale by Cloudwater. It's got a slight taste of cranberry.

Maybe once a week I'll have either/both a Double Punk, or Mr President, from Brewdog.

Yesterday I goes into Tesco to find out that they've gone up from £3.50 to £4.00 a can. They were already at the limit of what I'd pay but that's definitely the straw that broke the camel's back. Just out of interest I went onto Brewdog's own website and they have changed their prices, still the same £3.75.

I'm working up there in a few weeks, I'll have to see if they have a staff shop.

Spent Christmas in Leeds visiting our daughter. We stayed at a Samuel Smiths pub, the Eagle Tavern. Literally two minutes walk from the pub was the Tartarus micro brewery. Lovely choice of beers, most were very strong, I limited myself to 1/2 or 2/3rds, started with a 6% and worked my way up via a 12% to finish on a 17% 😮
The next mornings parkrun was a bit of a challenge…

I emailed Brewdog last week to ask why I'd not seen Jackhammer for a long time, and their reply was that they didn't know when/if it would be coming back.

They told me that this was very similar though, and to be fair I didn't believe them but actually it's rather good, not quite up to the standard of my all time favourite but a good substitute.
