It’s been on every time I call in, which is admittedly only once every 6-8 weeks, but it’s good to see it’s still around. They keep it well at the Angel; which always helps.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-10165058742008801472015-08-15T21:13:35.019+01:002015-08-15T21:13:35.019+01:00I rarely see Exmoor beers outside the occasional S...I rarely see Exmoor beers outside the occasional Spoons festival, and that's true of quite a few respected beers from the 90s like Summer Lightning and Workie Ticket.

I’ve removed the remnants of the deleted comments. <br /><br />It’s strange that we should both come across this once iconic beer at roughly the same time and at opposite ends of the country. A most enjoyable pint; it’s a shame I could only have the one, as I was driving last night. <br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-82443570783192219792015-08-14T18:20:37.232+01:002015-08-14T18:20:37.232+01:00I commented with the wrong account, although I don...I commented with the wrong account, although I don't know why it appeared twice!<br /><br />I said that this beer appeared in my local for the first time in years a week or two ago, and it's still a good pint.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.com
