    I was working today so my weekend starts tonight and against all good reason I'm going to hit the Toon despite it being rammed with part timers.

    What are/have you been up to beer-wise this weekend?

    Toon Quayside and Ouseburn tonight.
    Gateshead Beer Fest tomorrow.
    The Boat House fest Monday
    Market Street Police station/A&E dept thereafter.

    I'm still super saturated in food and drink these days but I have been trying to reduce my intake. Just a a can of Gamma Ray with my supper tonight and that's it.

    Hard day at work deserves good beer
    Five Oh Brew Co Jamie's (from the Guardian article in beer in news thread) outfit which understandably waiting to be added
    and Mad Hatter which I didn't think would need to be
    I thought we had a Liverpool/Merseyside new Ba-er
    come on now regional pride et all

    No, it's a damaged knee ligament. I never abuse my Liver at beer fests, always drink plenty of water and know when to stop. The days of getting bladdered are long behind me, can't see the enjoyment of a hangover.

    The can translated by google
    'brewed in accordance with the principles
    Strong oak
    traditionally brewed, slowly and carefully. The real experts are acknowledged his amber's colours and rich flavour'
