Elf Service (Staffordshire Brewery)

Name: Elf Service
Label: "Great British Beer - Normal service will resume after a beer"
Brewery: Staffordshire Brewery
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: "A light hoppy beer - Don't mind our Elf - he's harmless. Beer on the other hand, must be drunk responsibly."

Game: Purchased Halo: The Master Chief Collection and finally got time to power through Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and now just over half way through Halo 2: Anniversary.  Not sure whether beer goggles were involved but the Halo 2 cutscenes now look absolutely incredible. Also the cinematics now tie Halo 2 in with the Halo: Nightfall TV series and Halo 5: Guardians. Halo-tastic and colons everywhere!

New World Pale Ale (Marston's)

Name: New World Pale Ale
Label: "An exotic Pale Golden Ale brewed with a blend of Australian hops"
Brewery: Marston's
ABV: 4.1%

Rating: "New World Ale is a new lineage for a great heritage beer. Born out of the craft and culture imbued in Pedigree, combined with the fresh, fascinating and funky hop flavours of Australia, this beer is infused with vibrant, exotic, contemporary flavours. Gleaming pale gold in colour,New World pours with a dense white head of foam and a fantastic fruity & floral aroma."  Awesome beer. Must buy more.

Game: So many games still to finish! Shadow of Mordor, The Evil Within, D4 and still popping on to Destiny every day.  But next week sees the arrival of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Assassin's Creed Unity. Anybody seen that extra spare time I ordered? Anyway, I wasn't going to get Halo but then guess what? I pre-ordered Halo. Pretty amazing story right there!

Oyster Stout (Marston's)

Name: Oyster Stout
Label: "Dark - Rich - Smooth"
Brewery: Marston's
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: Ace, shame about the name

Game: Gone a bit Halo mad this week. Rebought Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 for Xbox and rebought Halo 3 (Legendary Edition) on the Xbox 360. Also rebought Halo Wars **must stop selling/trading games**. So whilst waiting for Halo 3 and Master Chief's shiny helmet to arrive, Halo, Halo 2 and Halo Wars are on the platter, also trying to squeeze in some awesome FIFA 10.
