If you think that’s a DTP horror…!
Belgo in Dublin was still doing that lunch for a fiver in 2000. Was it that much of a bargain in 1993?
The Belgian range is superb I have to say. Vanderlinden! Crombe Kriek! Wets! And more. I’m drooling. *wipes keyboard*
Bit of trivia: Harpoon actually bought Catamount’s brewery when Catamount went bankrupt.
(Seeing them side by side sparked that.)
No news nuggets & long reads this week or last week? Always look forward to that on a Saturday morning. Hope it comes back
Been on holiday and didn’t fancy typing it up on hotel Wi-Fi with a smartphone. Have Tweeted some choice links instead, though — see widget to right.
Ah didn’t see that. Thanks. Hope your having a good (and suitably beery) holiday 🙂
