Sour Mash Brew (Jeremiah Weed) in a Jeremiah Weed jam jar glass

Name: Sour Mash Brew in a Jeremiah Weed jam jar glass
Label: "The smoothest you'll ever have - Bold taste, smooth sippin' - Mr Jeremiah Weed, the original southern gentleman from Kentucky USA, proudly brings to you his sour mash brew."
Brewery: Jeremiah Weed
ABV: 4.0%

Rating: "Brewed with fruit alcohol, spirit & flavourings." There's something quite satisfying about getting a jam jar with a handle, packing it full of ice, pouring in one of your favourite brews, then totally drinking it all!

Game: So I traded in Ninja Gaiden 3 at Game and got Spec Ops: The Line. They have an offer on at Game by the way whereby I could trade in Ninja Gaiden 3 and get £19.50 off a chart game. As I only paid £20 for Gaiden this seemed like a great deal as it wouldn't sell on PlayTrade for some reason. Deal done, and Spec Ops is superb. A cover-based military shooter with some great visuals and an engaging story. Lots of win. 8/10.

IPA Reserve (Greene King)

Name: IPA Reserve
Label: "Brewing in Bury St Edmunds since 1799"
Brewery: Greene King
ABV: 5.4%

Rating: "A warming, full-bodied ale with a reassuringly rich appearance that belies its mellow fruit aroma. Grapefruit and Orange citrus tones combine with the floral and herbal Styrian Goldings hop variety to deliver a reserve ale of exceptional quality with a dry bitter finish." Another one to add to my favourite top five beers. My top five now contains more than five though.

Game: It got quite poor reviews but thought I'd give Ninja Gaiden 3 a go.  I've played the others in the series so why not! So far it's great! If you're ever after a one dimensional, linear, repetitive button-masher then this is the game for you. It's completely brainless but totally action-packed fun and, although I detest the term I'll say it anyway, a guilty pleasure. No levelling up, no upgrades, no shops, no hundreds of moves and combos to learn, only two weapons and one Ninpo attack, and lots of bad guys. It's simple and uncomplicated. Like a really ace arcade game. 7.5/10.
