Starts today.

I'd never heard of it before today but, Innis & Gunn Caribbean Rum Cask Ale is outstanding, 6.8% so, a heavy brew but, tremendous. 🤤

Like a Guinness topped up with rum.

I'm in Carlisle (Woodrow Wilson) just now, hopefully it turns up in Edinburgh somewhere. 🍺

Not quite as good as a "Blackbeard" cocktail but, getting pretty close.

2/3 pint of Guinness, shot of Morgan's Spice and top up with Coca Cola, dangerous stuff.

Yazoo All Dog Alert is very good too, glad that we are getting back into Porter weather now.

I only drink bottled beer in Wetherspoons.Too many skitters incidents in the past with their draft beers.

The one at the Fit o the Walk closes on the 11th November I've been told.

Apparently the new owners intend to turn it into a sports bar with lots of tellies.

I suspect it's being got rid of for the dodgy drains.

There was a big queue just after 11am yesterday, outside the marquee on Festival square, mostly ladies
It’s a cocktail and street food week
Must be desperate at that time of the morning for a drink😀
