Brothel Creepers?

Another new customer today. It's the exotically (or possibly erotically) named Rai D'or in Salisbury. There has been a pub on the site since 1292 when it doubled up as a brothel. It is now a Thai restaurant and bar and the interior is wonderful with higgledy piggledy chairs and tables and a massive inglenook fireplace. Simon the owner, who is a sensible chap, cares about the food miles that things clock up so he would only take the beer if I was delivering to someone else in Salisbury or passing through to somewhere else. What's nice about this place is that he rang us on the recommendation of his locals. We must be doing something right if we are being talked about as far afield as Salisbury.

We are over halfway through the first brew of Wallops Wood and it seems to be going down a storm. It's very strange but we've had a number of dyed in the wool lager drinkers say that they would drink it in preference to their usual tipple. I would have thought they would go for either the Swift One or the Quiver Bitter as they are a hell of a lot more hoppy that the Wallops Wood. This was mentioned by one of the tasting panel when we did a stint on Radio Solent at the weekend. Mike Powell the presenter was great fun and thanks to him for getting us on the show. It was a simultaneous broadcast with Southern Counties Radio so the coverage was huge.

That's all for the moment as I've a bucket of things to do.
