Milk Stout, was what Ena Sharples drank in the Rovers Return Coronation Street. A soaps set not very far from where CAB is now, started about 1960

Lord

we're is that from

It’s from Bodrum in Turkey.
We decided (at very short notice) to flee the lockdown.
My philosophy was, if you need to work from home, then it might as well be in the sun.

I have got to check those Westerham beers out now @CAB. I can’t believe I haven’t come across them before, I live 10 miles down the road from them...!

Thanks for the heads up!

They talk about being the spiritual successor to the former Black Eagle brewery, and using their old yeasts; not one I had heard of but supposedly a big concern in the past, before being taken over and shut down by Trumans (?).

Some excellent beers there, even better if you can pick them up locally

"half and half"

Bitter and mild, usually in a Holts or Hydes Manchester pub.

Love a good mild, never saw one down south but lots when I moved up north. Took a while to appreciate them though.

Pint of mixed is what it was called round here.

Mild was a little before my time, I tried a few though whilst growing up.
It did start making a comeback at one point (with all these modern craft ale/hipster/microbreweries) but it must of been shortlived as don't hear of a mild at all nowadays. Probably not a bad thing

One of these and one of these

I always thought that meant a whiskey and a bear in separate glasses. A chaser in other words.
