It's true of Christmas that all you really do is travel from relative to relative, try to look grateful for presents that you wish came with a receipt and accept food and drink when you're neither hungry or thirsty. On the present front, this year's gem has to be a golf ball stamp so that you can emboss your initials on your ball - not only do I rarely keep them long enough to worry about continual identification, but it came from St Michael - now I'm not being funny, but that puppy has been kicking around a while - no thank you card required!
With an office based out of the Dark Star Brewery in Sussex (I handle their PR, which must be the easiest job of all), I know the sales guys were busy as were the delivery drivers this Christmas - plenty of Critical Mass left the building - a beer we describe as being a 'pint of two halves'. I managed to wrestle a poly pin of American Pale Ale out of the brewery, so Christmas was full of cheer on the beer front.
Beer consumption continues this evening with a trip to the Royal Oak in Rusper (Friday St), which for those that don't know it, is an amazing pub a few miles outside of Horsham - I could go on for ages about how good this is and probably will do in future blogs...and pub that has a Cheese Monster Club will do for me! So tonight's activities will see teams of four trying to recognise beers in a blind tasting. This is about getting people to focus on taste and characteristics, though secretly, I think it's about Sara getting here customers not to drink with a closed mind and drink outside the box.
Well that wasn't so painful
