Beer of the Month !!

Just for info - this has been on at the "Britannia" in Mossley for the last few days ... and it's GORGEOUS !!!  I offer up ...

Incidentally - it's now official - as in on the "Britannia" web site - regarding the "Trans-Pennine Rail Ale Trail" - basically it's by "appointment only" after 1900hrs.  'Twas only a matter of time - I know I've mentioned it a few times on here, but what started out as a proper 'real ale' trail has descended into a cheap and nasty stag do/hen party/glorified p*ss-up turning good local pubs into 'no-go areas' for the locals at the weekend (even Stalybridge Buffet Bar serves real ale in plastic glasses on Saturdays !!! Would you drink real ale out of plastic ?? I certainly don't anymore)  Good to see honesty and integrity winning over the "fast buck" option - to be honest I can see this happening at other places as well ... it's certainly happened in other places such as Dublin and Riga - idiots and gobby loud-mouthed drunks (as most are at 1900hrs having been on the pop for 7+ hours) are just no fun at all ... some interesting posts on here as well.

Anyway ... my celebration of a top beer has 'gone off the rails' a bit ... it's Friday night - and I stayed dry for most of today - onwards to a very busy Saturday ... unless I think of something else (or find out some scoop) later.  Time for tea ...
