Glad that managed to resonate Sweder

Darkstar have made a couple of collaborative beers with one of my local brewers:

BOCK

In fact they're also making one to commemorate The Tour. And alot of others are getting in on the act, including my legendary hometown brewery:

Le Champion

I think this collaboration thing is great. Wetherspoons brought some American brewers over to make one-offs at British breweries for thier beer festival last year.

And I think it's fair to say the Americans are leading the way at the moment with their double IPAs, Red Ales and incredible Porters. Fair play to them. They've turned it around over there from the days of generic fizz water.

In fact my birthday treat last night was a mid-week trip to The Fighting Cock.

Happy Days.
