Letters: Old measures
The Guardian (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago
Some years ago, at Lunar House in Croydon, where the Home Office processed visas for foreigners, I was given a ticket number many hundreds from the one being served. Resigned to a long wait, I sat and opened my Guardian. A man offered me his ticket, with a very low number. Suspicious, I asked why. He said he had only come to accompany a friend and decided to give his number to the first person he...

In this weather the whole area has a lively buzz, with chatter and music....

Summer of Beer (Free subscription) | yesterday
Well it's getting close to the end. Two months of board exam studying culminates with 1 test this week and 1 next week. Things have recently been pretty bleak on the beer path for me after suffering a major bout of gastroenteritis a week ago in which I think I lost about 5 gallons of water from my body in one night. Since then it's been kinda hard to want to eat or drink anything. Hopefully I'll be...

Ushers is a defunct brewers based in Trowbridge, and the DPRK bought the brewery lock, stock etc and rebuilt in Pyongyang, where it is now brewing a rather lager-y looking concoction called Taedong River Beer.

Good News and Bad News
Robs Alpaca Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday
Hi everyone, we have mixed news for you today. Firstly the bad news. The Lamb has closed down.

Themed beer night No2: American beer night.
Rob's Beer Quest (Free subscription) | yesterday
OK I knew from the start the difficulties in composing this session. How can I do justice to American beer when the majority of the greatest US beers are not available in the UK? The answer was to work with what I could find, which were mostly the classics. To start things off I reached for the Anchor Steam Beer: A traditional west coast ale/lager hybrid style revived by the legend that is Fritz Maytag...
