  Should anyone be reading this and has the chance of visiting York I can thoroughly recommend visiting the York Brewery. The only brewery within York walls
  
  Very friendly people and you can have a tour for just £5, this also includes a pint or two different halves.
  Ted and I had a tour led by a young lad called Josh, and boy if you want to know anything about brewing he knows it. A mind of information.
  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  We spent the whole of the evening there to after becoming a member for just £3.

  Re entry into the county was fine Sarah, just a few scorch marks on the bonnet.
  
  We got back on Sunday so over this week will be posting stuff of where we've been. I could've done with another week off to get over that one.

  I'm sure Ian I see sprouts there in that picture in post 2. is it a particularly gaseous beer?? Does it produce a kind of free flowing internal combustion? But hark...No doubt it all adds to the rural organic rustic flavour.
  Good to have yis back lads.

  Errr, PaulB I think those sprouts are actually hops.

  LOL Peter....
  
  same comment made by Paul for sprouts are just as appropriate for the product of hops though!!!!!!

  Yes indeed, thoroughly chuckle-some. Thank you PaulB.
  
  I have had a closer look at the ingredient table photograph, but can't make out any of the labels apart from, 'chocolate'. What's this? Ladies beer?

  Thank you Colin.
  
  Ah Brian, tut-tut. We (i.e. me) who enjoy the conviviality of prolonged, yet peaceful, debate rise above the boyish thirst for alcohol and prefer the mutual grin-fest of taste.
  
  3.8% hits the nail upon the head for me.
