Double Bock Beer (Cains)

Name: Double Bock Beer
Label: "Brewed under Reinheitsgebot purity laws with authentic Munich malt and complimented with Saaz and Hallertau hop.
Brewery: Cains
ABV: 8%

Rating: Lager that looks like real ale, first brewed in the 14th century in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck, Germany, from which it gets its name.

Game: Took just under a week to finish Alan Wake on normal difficulty.  Forget Hard difficulty I'm ramping it up to Nightmare difficulty and replaying it again pretty much straight away. Yes, it really is that good. So many collectibles though - this site: www.swearingatvideogames.com seems to be doing a superb job of helping us find all those pesky collectibles.

Fine Raisin Beer (Cains)

Name: Fine Raisin Beer
Label: "Robert Cain brewery established 1850 Liverpool"
Brewery: Cains
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: A rich, fruit and amber ale infused with succulent Californian raisins. Raisins may look like flies with no wings or legs but they make excellent beer.

Game: So Forza 3 asks you how familiar you are with racing games before you start so I say "yeah pretty familiar thanks" and normal difficulty is selected. Normal difficulty has pretty much every single driving assist ever invented switched on as standard. If I held the controller with just my knees I could still probably win every race. Time to start switching off the assists... great game though by the looks of it.

FA (Cains)

Name: FA
Label: "Prize winning - Formidable Ale"
Brewery: Cains
ABV: 5%

Rating: Awesome (formidable) ale. Used to be available in 1 litre cans - why not anymore??

Game: I want to like Bioshock 2, I really do. But I have a problem with it that I just can't put my finger on.  Maybe its just too similar to the first Bioshock.  And when you've seen one rusty corridor, you've seen them all. Looking out of the window at the sharks and jellyfish seems to be a particular highlight at the moment sadly.

Dragon Heart (Cains)

Name: Dragon Heart
Label: "Prize winning - Brown Ale"
Brewery: Cains
ABV: 5%

Rating: Brewed to a 19th century recipe and fermented in traditional open vats.

Game: Played through the three campaigns in Aliens Vs Predator.  Unfortunately this is bog standard FPS fare, however, its really well done and elevated to a level of almost greatness thanks to the franchise subject matter. Marine, Predator and Alien short but sweet (and gory) single player campaigns holds the interest, but not for long to be honest. Game over, man etc etc... 7/10
