Just found my drunken notes from the Hanover Beer Festival the other weekend.

Loved:
Naked Beacon (Breconshire brewery)
Fruitbat (B&T Brewery, Shefford, Beds) – raspberries!
Alton’s Pride (Triple F Bewery, Alton, Hants)

Liked:
Festivale 30 (1648 Brewery, East Hoathley)
Winter Meltdown (Dark Star Brewery, Ansty) – needs a roaring fire and snow outside
Blonde (Saltaire Brewery, Shipley, W Yorks)

Basic instructions.

The Brighton Food Festival on New Road providing the beer and sausages.

The New York Times's City Room blog is appalled at an advertising slogan that suggests London is the city that never sleeps: link

Wasn’t aware of Her Maj’s new title until I saw this on a bus stop map in Westminster. (look top right)

Not sure this is exactly a good thing, but the guy who runs the Ivy in London has invested in Bills, the cafe/greengrocers in Lewes and Brighton, with the promise of a big expansion. Will more mean worse, or will they be able to preserve their excellent Scrambled Eggs on Toast?

Looking towards Eastbourne.
