So what happened last month ? Well it was Fathers Day and although my daughter lives and works in Glasgow she managed to have shipped down a box of Isle of Skye Brewery beers. Ive had some before such as Skye Red and Skye Black but the rest are very good. I have always preferred strong dark beers but the first on I opened, Young Pretender was a mere 3.8% but on a summers day it was quite refreshing. Last night I had the strong one the 7% , Cuillin Beast. Cracking beer.
On the subject of cracking beers, Maxim launched a new beer, Maxim Pils. Now I don't normally go for Pilsner type ales but I thought, something new, something different. Spot on, well worth the investment. I was looking forward to sitting in the garden sipping some, but as I was about, it started pissing down (and it is as I type this ) so not had the al fresco pleasure yet.
As I type this, its pub opening eve. Ive done some research of some pubs websites and Facebook pages and to be honest, its not worth the hassle. Its not so much the health aspect but the rules. Table service, no standing at the bar, limits to how many go to the loo, having your temperature taken. No thanks.
One of the rules if having to leave your contact details. The first thing I thought of was there will be a lot of M.Mouses out there !
One of my daughters ex school mates was called Lisa Simpson. She may well still be called that. I used to work with a guy called Neil Armstrong. Imaging either of those two being confronted by a bouncer .

"Name ?"
" Neil Armstrong"
" Yeah right pal, now bugger off back to the moon"
As well as being a CAMRA volunteer I also volunteer for the National Trust, and the following is true. This guy works at Washington Old Hall and he signs in as Bart Simpson. Its not his real name but hes been doing ot for years and no one has noticed !!
Respect.
I do a Zoom quiz with 7 of my mates every Tuesday and none of us are interested in going to a pub anytime soon. Should be interesting to see how many do tomorrow. Me, Ive got plenty of beer in.
