For Birthdays and Christmas I buy a selection of beers for my wife, Elaine, who has always been a lover of beer rather than spirits.

Here we have, from left to right:-
Green King IPA (India Pale Ale), 3.6% alc/vol.
Originally brewed to export to members of the British Raj in India it had an unusually large quantity of hops in the brewing process as hops act as a preservative and helped to keep the beer in good condition during the sea journey to idea.
John Smiths Extra Smooth, 4% alc/vol.
A modern version of John Smiths bitter that was brewed at Tadcaster. It may still be for all I know although I preferred Saml Smiths Yorkshire Bitter from a rival Tadcaster Brewery.
Boddingtons Pub Ale, 4.7% alc/vol.
Brewed at the Strangeways Brewery, Manchester since 1778 it’s as near as you will get to Boddies Draught Ale in a pub.
La Fin Du Monde, 9% alc/vol.
Triple fermentation beer brewed in Québec, Canada by La Brasserie Unibroue, bottled with its lees so should have a lot of taste.
Old Speckled Hen, 5.2% alc/vol.
Brewed by Moreland, Bur St Edmunds, Suffolk. It was first brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory and was named after an old MG car used as a factory runaround. ‘The Owld Speckled Un’.
Some more to come later
