Thursday - Curry Night
I travelled with Jim, Pete and Duncan to the Staple Hill Oak for our traditional curry night. I started off with a pint of Old Hooker 4.4%. A light amber bitter with nice fruity tones. Seeing I have forsaken the Weatherspoons currys I ordered a Chili Con Carne. It was quite tasty and was not too spicy. I also had a pint of Chuffin Ale 4%. This dark amber ale had a light head but not much lacing. However, it made up for that with a good malty finish. After finishing our meal the Old Gits went into full ranting mode. Ranging from Gadaffi to bankers and back to the middle east. A more sobering and quiet discussion then took place concerning the terrible earthquake in New Zealand. Another drink came up. This time a pint of Great Western 4% from Cottage Brewing Company. A dark amber beer with a medium head and light lacing. This was quickly followed by a pint of Silly Billy Bitter 4.3%. A light golden bitter and very drinkable. This ended our evening and we made our happy way home.
