Here for rides.
I liked your Dark Star jersey, Greg. Nearly as much as I like their espresso beer. I notice there's a beer map on their website! Perhaps someone, ahem, based down that way could look into the relevant boozers and their possible opening times, with an eye on the post-Newhaven rehydration...
I got mine cheap via on an introductory offer, and it got me a free pint when The Partridge at Partridge Green re-opened as a Dark Star tied house.. Appaz the brewery is right by Kinesis Bikes.
I'm a Porter or an Imperial Stout man myself; sort of "Black beer please" as oppossed to Madeiera-esque yellow and brown.
