And that’s it: we’re shutting down for a week or so as we head off to spend Christmas with our families.
We’ll no doubt be Tweeting anything beer- or pub-related that catches our eye and also updating our Facebook page, but we’re going to give the blogging a rest.
In the meantime, there are some posts from the 2014 archive that you might want to give a second look listed below.
Thanks for reading in 2014 and merry Christmas to you all!

Happy Christmas Ray and Jessica, maybe 2015 will be the year I finally catch you guys for a pint somewhere. (Though I doubt it’ll be over my side of the water!)
