Wow - a three day weekend!

[karen2205]

Right, my start to the weekend was a Gllug social - where I was fed beer (well John Smith's extra smooth - I'm sure someone's going to tell me that that's not real beer) that I ended up not liking very much - it has a kind of bitter aftertaste.

So, I'd like some recommendations for beers/lagers I might like (remembering that till now I've been a spirits/alcopops kind of person)

I slept in till 11am this morning and it feels wonderful to not have anything pressing to do (well, that's a lie - but there's nothing that requires me to leave the house except buying a newspaper which I can do later on - food shopping can wait).

It's my birthday three weeks today, so I'm guessing now's as good a time as any to start organising something. There's a Gllug meeting that day (which I wasn't planning on going to), and I believe a London.crafts meeting being arranged for then as well.

Hmm - I'm not sure whether people prefer lunchtimes or evenings for going out for a meal purposes - probably somewhere similar to where I went last year - pasta/pizza place in Covent Garden/Leicester Square. If any of you want to come please comment with prefered times and I'll go from there.

I fully agree with this, what people are doing is suggesting beer that people who like beer will like. The Malt Shovel in Northampton is doing the Belgian fruit beers, rather nice I thought. I suspect for actual beer I might start a non beer drinker on something like Caffreys.
