Cornwall
So off to Cornwall for a weekend of walking, dancing and beer drinking. A lot was packed in - we had Cornwall pasties, Cornwall fudge, Cornwall beaches, Cornwall fish and chips and basically Cornwall everything. The actual region is like a massive branding exercise where they just stick there name in front of stuff to give it a more local feel. Of course the beer is another matter. That obviously is local and is very good.
First up, Sharps Cornish Pilsner. A great lager which I already knew because they sell it at my local. However it hadn’t made it onto my official list yet so it was added in its native environment.
After this it became remarkably difficult to find beers on the list. There was a lot of good stuff sold but most seemed to be almost too craft to make it onto the official book. I finally managed to find another the night before we left. By night before I mean we were on our way home and popped into Tesco for some beers on the way home. Here is Old Peculiar being drunk on the train home. In all honesty I didn’t much like this although that could have been because I’d been drinking for several days and the joy of drinking was starting to wear off.
