Great article TheBeerNut. It sounds like you had a good night out. Only selling St Peter's Organic Ale? I never thought I'd see the day.

Séan

I enjoyed this article and I have another pub to add to my list now..

Easy now calling them crusties, they'll be throwing (organic) tomatoes at your windows.

On a recent trip to UK we arrived in North Essex a good 4 hours early for our flight out of Stanstead to Knock which is a bit mad even though the security specialists would have you at that all the time. So S.W.M.B.O suggests we visit a small town nearby and do the shops (not my favourite pastime <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: --> ) 10 min later I discover a small brew shop <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> bought a couple of thermometers as deciding to risk getting them through security as hand baggage. Which as it turns out was successful only proving how daft the security regulations are as a broken 12” thermometer would make a rather nasty weapon. I know because every one I order by mail arrives broken!

By now you must be wondering what the f**k this has to do with BeerNuts pub-crawl? Well next stop was a flash health food shop and among the expensive olive oil and pot poi was beer – only one type and it was “St peters organic ale” at the give away price of £4.50 almost €7 <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> Essex hasn’t got a circus but they have comics! <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

How much was circus beer?

Great article BeerNut by the way

Mental. I suppose once you're buying [i:293kbaia]anything[/i:293kbaia] in that sort of shop the question of what something's actually worth becomes irrelevant. I mean, what's the true market value of pot pourri? I definitely think St Peter's are on to something with their bottle shapes: it looks mediciney and expensive.
