| 1135938 | 2010-09-16 23:46:00 | Visited our first castle ruin today Warkworth...stronghold of the Percy family totally amazing to think of all that must have gone on there. We returned from the UK just a few weeks ago. Stayed mainly in the South of England this time (aside from a trip to Ghent for a few days and visiting our niece, who lives in Cheshire). When we're over there I like to catch up with visiting a few castles (history has always been an interest and castles especially fascinating even when travel was just a dream). Visited Beaumaris, on Anglesey, in Nth. Wales, Colchester and Framlingham in East Anglia, Caerphilly in Sth. Wales; all pretty impressive. As well visited the Gravensteen in Ghent, where I got to fire a crossbow. As to beers, I really liked Red Squirrel and Landlord, which was served in the Black Lion, in St. Albans, where we stayed with our son. |

| 1135940 | 2010-09-17 01:05:00 | Where can a man get a Watneys Red Barrel? There is a bar in Brown's Bay that sells quite a lot of English beers, some of them on tap. I have had Newkie Brown Ale, and a John Smith there. You would feel right at home there prefect, because Brown's Bay and that bar seems to be full of Englanders. I feel quite a foreigner there, but I suffer it because of the beer. |

| 1135942 | 2010-09-17 10:05:00 | Anyone who appreciated fine ales would not drink any Watney's product unless genuinely dying of thirst. Same goes for Ind Coope and Fullers to name but a couple of examples of revolving so called beers. | KenESmith (6287) | ||

| 1135944 | 2010-09-17 22:51:00 | One thing I noticed when drinking ales in England, Scotland and Ireland was that I never suffered any after effects to head or stomach, unlike if I drink the gut rot from the big two breweries in NZ. I took two old mates to the Twisted Hop in ChaCha where they over indulged in the Twisted Ankle (sadly, I was designated driver so I was more restrained). No after problems with the mate who was staying with us either. Am I right or wrong about that? Is there something about those real ales that doesn't give a hangover or crook gut? Maybe I don't drink enough these days... It could be that simple. |
