Hopback Summer Lightning
There is a major advantage to living in the UK, and I'm sure that this - as much as The Wife - is a huge part of Beaver's reason of sticking through the overpriced EVERYTHING else.Yes I'm talking about BEER.
Today I went to a fine ale house called "The Dolphin" in Hursley - for lunch mind you - and tasted this liquid gold: Summer Lighting, a great beer from Hopback.
A testimonial (from someone else I don't know):
Hopback Brewery - Summer Lightning
Undoubtedly the best beer ever brewed and to be drunk by me. It wins awards, and for very good reasons: Post ride, this is better than water it is so so so so refreshing, light, a bit bitter and you can drink five and still feel good. The perfect ride would have Hopback pubs all along it, this stuff is on a higher level.
So grab a seat out back at The Dolphin and let's toast to the delicious brews that abound here.I might see if I can get some bottles of the stuff, but I'm not sure if that will be possible or not. I don't see many liquor stores around - everyone just goes to the pub!

Mmmmm, beer. I'm drinking right now, except it's only a Canadian. Which isn't even a Canadian beer any more.
But it still goes down so smooooooooooth.
Do you mean that it isn't owned by Canadians (the Molson company?) or that it isn't made in Canada?
What's funny is that if Tee Dub ever goes out to a Japanese restaurant and orders a Sapporo beer she'll find out that that imported beer is imported from ...
... CANADA!
I believe Japan is closer to her than Ontario but hey, we must do a good job on beer. Or we're just cheaper labour.
