Thoroughbred Gold (Thwaites)

Name: Thoroughbred Gold
Label: "A golden winner - A winning thoroughbred is the result of breeding the best stallion to the best mare, with the proof of superiority and excellence being established on the race track"
Brewery: Thwaites
ABV: 3.7%

Rating: A really great beer that I've not seen much of in the shops before. Not sure why its got all those equine breeding tips on the bottle, maybe it was brewed for some horsey people at some horsey event.

Game: Very addicted to Split/Second now. It only arrived today so I guess it's only natural to want to play it constantly until the novelty wears off. The game is quite shallow to be honest, but it's what one would class as a "guilty pleasure". I'm really really really tired tonight by the way, just thought I'd share...

Blueberry Classic Bitter (Coach House)

Name: Blueberry Classic Bitter
Label: "Brewed in Cheshire"
Brewery: Coach House Brewing Co.
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: An exceptionally great tasting beer. This is now my favourite beer of all time and has knocked Banana Bread Beer off the number one spot. I love you Coach House! Some name-dropping on the bottle too, Maris Otter barley grown by James Fawcett and hops grown by Geoff Thompson. Swish.

Game: Split/Second arrived today from Zavvi (took two weeks to arrive...) and initial impressions are good. Played it for about an hour so far and graphics look great and the explosions and destruction look wicked. I was expecting the cars to be fast enough to make me feel sick but they're not yet. Hopefully faster cars can be unlocked.  As an aside, one of my children made me feel a bit sick today, by throwing up all over me in the middle of Asda. The poor little tike.
