The Beer Hunter v1.1.5

Why is it, when you’re out for a quiet beer with a few friends in a cool bar, a man, a naked man covered head to toe in mud always has to come along and steal the limelight? This country…

Nevertheless, that is indeed what happened to me on Wednesday in a little known bar in the depths of London Bridge station. Read the rest of this entry »

…I become one of the privileged few graced with the responsibility of updating the glorious Beer Hunter site.

For now, let’s be content with introductions. I am Beth, friend and ex work colleague of Ken. I also participate in the, now (in)famous, Monopoly Pub Crawl - where I’m known by my alter-ego Chef Spangley.  Cute.

So, who the bloody hell are you and how the blazes are you?

I’ll be back later once I have had more time to mull over my composition

Ok. I just got back from Birmingham. Me and a few work mates went up there to see Tenacious D, if you hadn’t of already guessed that from the title, at the NEC.

In the words of the band themselves “They rocked our f***ing socks off”! It was brilliant. Like watching a really cool play that consisted entirely of songs.

Excellent! Party on, dudes!

John Ling and my Bro, Andy, are both Birthday-boys today. I wish them both a smashing day, and I hope they get all the beer/gifts they could possibly ever want -as long as I don’t have to pay for it all!

A few facts about them:

• Both are middle-aged, but neither act like it!
• Both have dark hair, as far as I can tell.
• They both like Beer.
• Strangely, they are both Stagitarius!
• One smells faintly of wee. (I’ll let you decide which!)

That concludes my informative facts about John and Andy.

Lets all go to the pub and celebrate the passing of another year in their lives!

It took our combined will power, courage, mettle and livers to complete the 26 pubs of the Dublin Monopoly Pub Crawl, but we did it. And we’re all very proud of ourselves.

All-in-all it was an excellent weekend away, and one I’m very likely never to remember. But that’s not important, because we have photo evidence to remind just what a good day it was.
