The latter can take place at home, either indoors or out, but unfortunately these are all denied to us at present - or will be from closing time on Wednesday, onwards. <br /><br />I will still enjoy the odd can or two, either with my evening meal, or whilst sitting in front of my desktop, bashing out the latest post, as somehow it seems to get the creative juices flowing, but the constant quest for the novel or the unusual that still characterises the craft-beer movement, is starting to leave me cold.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-13525194382582189882020-11-02T22:56:40.084+00:002020-11-02T22:56:40.084+00:00I'm sure that beer is nice but it's not fo...I'm sure that beer is nice but it's not for me, without the companionship of old codgers beer is pointless.

This is despite the enormous efforts made by the licensed trade to comply with government regulations, in order to make the nation's pubs as safe as possible, for customers and staff alike.<br /><br />I'm not going to comment further, at this stage, as I've already made my views on HMG's & PHE's demonisation of the hospitality trade, well known. Not only that, I'm fighting a losing battle trying to swim against the tide of public opinion which, stirred up by alarmist stories in the media, is pressing for even more stringent measures.<br /><br />So, on this rainy and windswept weekend, it might pay to make the most of a few pints, enjoyed within the conviviality of a decent public house!Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-51854463227521442342020-10-30T21:00:36.697+00:002020-10-30T21:00:36.697+00:00Interesting post this one Paul.

I got stuck into my local cricket clubs' Virtual Real Ale Club whereby I got a six pint pouch of Leatherbritches beer every week...<br />Very nice but I just don't enjoy drinking at home as much so, as long as I can and the govt will allow it, I intend to keep n frequenting pubs!!!Britain Beermathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096636784719969464noreply@blogger.com
