Basically I decided to travel to Lincoln for a night by myself, do the ghost tour then get well on in the pub, I ended up having a deep conversation about the troubles , Grimsby FC, St Pats and the merits of the Eurovision with a guy called John from Grimsby before some ginger from Drogheda heard my accent and cringeworthily started talking Irish to me thinking it was cool….
Great night though….

I find it hard to differentiate between a lot of craft beers but I know I much prefer them to mass produced slop from the big names.
