Not posted for a while....

And there has not been much to post about recently but now i feel there is.
Went to Wigan beer festival last week and i have to say there where some top ales.
Stand out ones for me where:


Allgates Groundhop day which is 3.8% and as the "tasting notes" say its a Well balanced straw coloured ale, easy drinking with a berry/herbal aroma!


Allgates Nightmare On Ale Street - classic porter,dark and rich - bursting with malt falvours - 5.2%

Strawberry beer ( don't now the name of the brewers)

Toffee Ale ( very nice i thought)- Fed up with fruit?,this ones got toffee flavour..

Hopstar - Smokey Joes Black Beer - 4% - multi award winning ale, dark and full of chocolate


and i tasted some Gayhakers West Country cider which was very good i thought ( even though i dont remember how to spell the name..)

I went with some mates and we all tasted what brews we each got and the ones that i thought were alreet was:

Empire Strikes Back - 4% , Pale golden hoppy session beer


The "tasting notes" were taken from the "Wigan Beer Festival 2009" booklet

Football front:


Latics one Hull City 1-0 with a Ben Watson goal. I may self did not go to the match due to work but was told that it was alright. Latics taken everton next Sunday which i should be attending. Its a fantastic old ground Everton the wooden seats etc fantastic.
I also should be attending the Wigan Robin Park fc game against AFC united this Tuesday. I have only got to go to one game this season against Ashton Town at home and i have to say i am looking forward to it.


Clothes front:

Not much since i have not had a lot of money but i should have a pair of Adidas Samba Supers coming through over the next few days which should be oreet.
And i also got a Blue Harbour blue/white s/s shirt and a black polo from Marks and Spencers in sunderland on my recent trip up there.
