Camping and pubs...

Camping AT the pub...now that takes skill.

Mini bottle of wine or giant Swedish knife.

[RobbW]

@donn. Terrific write up and background history. It was wonderful to follow your adventures. Plus, I’m a huge fan of James Herriot.

Since picking it up a couple of days ago, I've been looking forward to trying this ENGLISH Trappist Ale Pretty good

I'd never heard of this stuff. Apparently it's flavored with oil boiled from birchbark. Different species used to give different colors; today they use food coloring. Tastes sort of like root beer, but less so.

Jeremy, don't play with your health! If I recall correctly, birchbark is what led to discovery of aspirin.

ps : I'm wrong, it comes from willow bark. So beware the headache!

So many questions, but let’s start with “how was it?”

Your ebony lambsfoot is looking mighty fine, Jack...

Had this one with lunch today.

... as is yours, Dylan.

Thanks Greg The IPA was actually a lot more interesting than the Basqueland beer I tried the other day, great flavours, and a well-crafted beer. 7% ABV

Sparkling mint limeade.

The lambsfoot halved the lime, of course.

I won't be buying any more birch beer. Over $1 a bottle and no alcohol?
Yup, aspirin is from willows. That's why I consider an aspirin poultice to be a homeopathic remedy for spider-bite: willows and spiders are both associated with the great goddess in her less nurturing aspect.

Classy, classy.

Staggering across the world's borders in true multicultural style with no regard for traditions or customs or politics...for that I say thank you o mighty God of beer.

Maybe it should be called a blackout IPA then.

What’s the knife?
