Thanks DM!
Police said they can only do anything if there’s CCTV, so hoping your right. He’d appreciate a visit!
I managed to get out to BBNo a day early and was surprised to see that there were now 2 BBNos, one a tap, the other a tasting room. As the tasting room was heaving I went into the rather improvised taproom. I asked after Floris, but not before ordering a Ginger and Grapefruit Saison. She said, ''He's fine.'' I said that I'd heard he'd a bike accident, she said he's up and about. When asked about the fractured coccyx, she replied ''We've all done that.'' What have I been missing in life after never managing to fracture my coccyx?
A couple of sips later, Floris walked in and I asked him about it. The van driver, seeing it was not terminal, said he was going to check for damage to the van (painters and decorators) and promptly drove off. I gather that cars continued to drive around him as he was lying in the road. He's still off the bike as moving from standing to sitting and vice versa is still too painful. There was some damage to the handlebars but he didn't seem to have really examined the bike since. (I think the 2nd tasting room was an overflow; Floris said that since pulling out of the Beavertown fiasco, they'd offered free beers - or a discount - to ticket buyers, so there were more people around than usual.)
The G and G saison was good, a bit timid on the grapefruit but more confident with the ginger which goes well with that yeasty mustiness I've come to expect from saisons.
Back via Affinity, which has installed an upstairs indoor seating area since I last visited in early summer.
A lovely Rhubarb and mixed berry saison called May, nice and fruity. (You wouldn't normally expect to see May, nice and fruity in one sentence.)
As Spartan is the next arch along and they had a mild, albeit a 'Light Mild' I felt obliged to.... Pleasing, easy drinking.
