Another refreshing golden ale.........

So sayeth number two son when I sent the attached photo of the beer pump from which I partook tonight........do I need to be more descriptive in my eulogy to the great gods of beer? Maybe he has something though it has to be said that Saxon Gold brewed by the Battlefield Brewery of Shrewsbury is , well........  golden and refreshing 3.8%  in strength and the hops used happen to have the same name as a favourite band of mine-Magnum! 
Strange journey this morning as my satnav took me very close to Banbury and therefore Cropredy where we have enjoyed the Fairport Convention Festival for the past three years. We elected not to go this year as not only did the line up leave us unmoved but we really need some guaranteed sun on our backs so a trip to Spain later on in the year is instead of Cropredy. We will of course miss all the Cropredy Chaps  and all the fun we have there. Meanwhile read on.......
In Telford tonight, very bad planning as I wouldn't usually want to be the wrong side of Birmingham on a Friday but sometimes you just have to do it, sustained with a good meal of asparagus with a quail egg & bacon then  slow cooked beef ribs with mash & broccoli  and finally a very good cheese board  full of local Shropshire cheeses helped ease the pain. Dig coming up this weekend, stay  tuned!
