Thursday Night Out

Accompanied Jim, Geoff, Pete, Duncan, Mary and John to Wetherspoons Staple Hill for a curry. This week they had the beef madras that I wanted. The curry was a tad too spicy for me but edible none the less. Had a few pints of Yellow Hammer from O'Hanlon's Brewing Company which was very much enjoyed until it ran out. So had to finish with Otter Ale from the Otter Brewery, Devon. A very enjoyable evening talking bullocks with friends.

The gravity of the River Dog is 1.006 today. There are still a few bubbles rising in the fermenting vessel so will leave it another two days and take a reading on Sunday. There will nsot be a Wednesday outing next week so I will probably barrel the River Dog then.

Off to Nick's beer and curry afternoon tomorrow at his house in Wick, together with the rest of the usual suspects. Barry, who is a great cook, will be doing the curry. So looking forward to that very much. Though the bus may prove to be a challenge in getting back. Still a 5 or 6 mile walk will not kill me after bellyful of beer and curry. I hope!
