My out of town guests didn't want to go, which I'm not sure I'll ever forgive! <BR/><BR/>Isn't it weird when you go to a pub and are excited about the beer, only to realize the staff don't even care or drink the stuff themselves? It's always a bit of a let down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-85614595103423925932009-04-08T15:55:00.000+01:002009-04-08T15:55:00.000+01:00Giambi had a couple of hits.

I know the brewery are trying to get their beers better received over there so let me know what you think if you grab a few!<BR/><BR/>And Mr CEO, I just read the box scores. Where was Matt Holliday?! Great to see Giambi back at the A's. Have you read Moneyball? That's a great book. Oh, and how was the keg?Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-80713452139204664292009-04-08T00:06:00.000+01:002009-04-08T00:06:00.000+01:00Liam, I'm off to see The Angels and A's tonight in...Liam, I'm off to see The Angels and A's tonight in Anaheim. Proper Real Keg will flow, as I usually mow through quite a bit of Firestone Double Barrel. Moseley starts for The Angels. He's got a lifetime ERA of 5.5, so he could get racked. Looks like the A's are starting a rookie.Whorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784943453195129865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-81380526043380551122009-04-07T14:56:00.000+01:002009-04-07T14:56:00.000+01:00Good post with a nice review of the Brew Dog beers...Good post with a nice review of the Brew Dog beers.
