    Good morning BA's and welcome to the Tuesday edition of WBAYDN! This is my first thread start so I'm double spell and grammar checking it. It's going to take awhile to deprogram me from waking between 0330-0430 after 42 years of doing so. My opening beer that I am drinking now while doing chores, is a 2023 KBS. It's a coolish mid 50's this morning but I will get in my walk later. Have a fantastic Tuesday and do share with us what beer you are drinking now......cheers!!

    On to The Lamb and Flag, a pub dating back to 1695.

    Dazzle Razzle by Little Ox Brewery, a local brewery. They're calling this a DIPA at 7.1% hmmm. Even so it's very good. Lovely lingering bitterness.

    If you squint, across the road opposite you can see The Eagle and Child, which is currently closed for refurbishment. Tolkien apparently wrote some of Lordx of the Rings there.

    Anyways, next beer. A proper DIPA. Big Bella by Two Flints.

    Your photos make me nostalgic of my 7 years living in the UK (first northern Wales and then Scotland). Didn't drink much back in those days so I missed out on a lot of good stuff (especially cask).

    Congratulations on that free time for kicking off WBAYDN. You earned it. I'm sure you will stay busy polishing Mustangs and whatnot. Cheers

    It was also the meeting place of The Inklings, a writers’ group that included Tolkien, CS Lewis, and others. They discussed and workshopped each other’s work. Definitely on my bucket list.

    By car, shuttle, plane, train and foot, after 23 hours I’m sitting in Cloudwater’s London taproom drinking a pint of “Happy”, a session pale ale “NE style”:

    I’m going to enjoy a few beers before I head to the hotel. Cheers from cold dark misty London y’all!
