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.
