Name: St George & the Dragon
Label: "A traditional English bitter with robust bitterness and fiery amber hue"
Brewery: Test
ABV: Test
Rating: "A biscuity ale with citrus notes, robust bitterness and fiery amber hue. A traditional English bitter brewed in honour of our Patron Saint. Find out more about this beer, and the Wadworth range at www.wadworth.co.uk"
Game: Looks like I'm now a multiplayer convert. Titanfall is brill. It's one of those games that even if you suck at it, you can still achieve and have fun. I actually came top of my team in one game! We lost overall though... but I came top in my team and got to the extraction point! Here's proof, non-believers! For someone who isn't particularly good at multiplayer games this is a great achievement okay?!
Game and ale reviews all in one handy place, helping you to game and drink excessively. Bite size reviews for those in a hurry or people like me who can't be arsed reading more than a couple of paragraphs in one sitting.

Worcester Sorcerer (Sadler's)
Name: Worcester Sorcerer
Label: "A smooth golden English bitter. Sweet malt character with a citrus fruit hop finish"
Brewery: Sadler's
ABV: 4.3%
Rating: "Juicy malt and crisp grassy aromas prepare your taste buds for a sprightly citrus fruit character. Warm toffee apple fruitiness rolls on with softly roasted malts, leading to a gentle bitter finish. Brewed using the finest Maris Otter malted barley and finished with pure English Hops."
Game: Even though I should be on the Xbox One I keep buying Xbox 360 games. South Park: The Stick of Truth to be specific. It's just like playing several episodes of South Park, which officially makes it one of the best games ever! Censorship rears it ugly rear though as some scenes have been removed from the European release. Butt, it's only about thirty seconds of Randy getting his ass hole bothered by an alien anal probe. And there are amusing intermission screens that describe the scenes. As much as I despise censorship, there's no real detriment to the game as a hole.

American Red Ale (Titanic Brewery)
Name: American Red Ale
Label: "A rich and warming British Brew - A rich and warming British brew"
Brewery: Titanic Brewery
ABV: 4.5%
Rating: "If the Titanic's fate had been different, Captain Edward Smith might have raised a glass of an ale like this one in celebration of his ship's arrival on American soil. Made with American hops and British malt, it's the perfect mid-Atlantic partnership, lovingly brewed by the Titanic brewery in Smith's Staffordshire birthplace. Full of rich flavour that's bound to warm your heart, it's the perfect tribute to a true British hero."
Game: You know when you've got a marker on a map and you're stood right near it but there's no obvious way to get at it? This happens to me a lot in Thief. I'm not sure if this is intentionally part of the challenge or whether I'm just being extraordinarily thick but it's mightily frustrating. There's a second storey window with no obvious way to get at it - spends an hour figuring out how to get up there. I just want to do the sneaky stealey missions!

Mellow Yellow (Sadler's)
Name: Mellow Yellow
Label: "A pale honey ale. Powerful hop character is balanced with a sweet honey finish"
Brewery: Sadler's
ABV: 4.1%
Rating: "Smooth and refreshing honey ale. A mash of light English barley malt is followed generously with English First Gold and New Zealand Green Bullet hops. Natural, pure honey is infused throughout the brewing process to round the citrus hop character with a smooth and subtle sweetness."
Game: Finally bought a "Season Pass" for a game. That game happened to be The Walking Dead Season 2. And when the second episode was released, the season pass actually worked! And it didn't download any useless multi-player crap that I don't want or need! Anyway, Episode 2 of The Walking Dead Season 2 is brilliant. And guess who shows up in this episode? MAJOR SPOILER: zombies!! Rating: 9/10

Warm toffee apple fruitiness rolls on with softly roasted malts, leading to a gently bitter finish. Brewed using the finest Maris Otter malted barley and finished with pure English Hops". Proper magic, this one is.
Game: Thieves are bad, Thief is great though. The game plays like a marriage 'twixt Assassin's Creed and Dishonored. I disliked Dishonored, I liked the medieval type feel but this was ruined with security cameras and robot things. What? But Thief is the best of both worlds and doesn't contain stupid robots. The graphics are tremendous too. Oh and LOOT! Rating: 9/10
