Being enjoyed in the Wigan Central bar in Wigan, Greater Manchester.

Old Reliable is the JK, or the Two Hearted?

Both I suppose!

That’s what I figured...

'Tis Friday. Glorious!

I need a beer!

I need a beer!

This is a good one. A Dark Mild (black lager) from Salem Ale Works. I can enjoy a dark Ale without feeling like I've had a meal. And at under 5%, I can have more than a few.

A peak into my lonely beer fridge...I may just dable tomorrow....

I’m not sure which one of these goes better with this bourbon.

Your pics of meat pies and scotch eggs made me weep, as they are not so readily available here. Lager/ale/porter/stout, yes. Victuals, no. Thanks for sharing (sort of).

That Manhattan was with rye, the original Manhattan ingredient. I do use bourbon in a pinch.

Well, I'll get me some rye, then. No wonder my Manhattans are too sweet!

When I was stationed in Germany, we sometimes bought a great Czech beer called Budvar. When I got back to the U.S., I was unable to find it. I later learned that Budvar means Budweiser and due to an ongoing trademark dispute, they were unable to sell under that name in the U.S. and some other countries where Anheuser Busch had trademarked the name, even though Budvar used it for hundreds of years before Anheuser Busch was started. Budvar holds the trademark in Europe, so Anheuser Busch Budweiser is sold as Bud. One day I discovered you can get Budvar in the U.S. under a different name! One of my top 10 favorites.
