Masham Glory (Theakston)

Name: Masham Glory
Label: "Estd 1827 - Legendary Ales - Specially brewed for Tesco by T&R Theakston Ltd"
Brewery: Theakston
ABV: 4.7%

Rating: "Including the finest British barley, raisins, classic English hops and hints of cinnamon to give an outstanding and uniquely characterful ale."  I never knew Masham was a place.  So there.

Game: Still slogging away at Darksiders 2.  'Slogging' meant in a positive way by the way.  No way, so far there's way too many uses of the word 'way' in this post but I can't be bothered changing it. Just a quick one about the graphics and art style in Darksiders... it took me a while to get used to it in the first game. I must be well and truly used to it because Darksiders 2 looks delicious.

Hogshead Bitter (Theakston)

Name: Hogshead Bitter
Label: "Estd 1827 - Legendary Ales"
Brewery: Theakston
ABV: 4.1%

Rating: "This robust ale exhibits a maltiness with underlying tones of luscious cane sugars, whilst the use of Bramling Cross dry hops contribute to the striking aroma and palate. Brewed using the finest quality natural ingredients and over 185 years of brewing wisdom."

Game: Thanks to The Elderly Gamer who advised of a handy round-up of Assassin's Creed 3 editions and versions (see last post comments), I have indeed opted for the standard edition Tesco £39.91 + T-Shirt + 350 clubcard points deal. As impressive as the other editions were, I just want the game. I don't need extra mud or George Washington's notebook. Surely that notebook holds some historical significance for the Americans too, they won't want me hoarding it and scribbling "remember to stab bad guy" notes in it will they?

Lightfoot (Theakston)

Name: Lightfoot
Label: "Legendary ales"
Brewery: Theakston
ABV: 4.1%

Rating: "This is a very pale, golden-coloured ale brewed using English malted barley and wheat, European hops, water from the Yorkshire Dales and the famous Theakston yeast strain to create a 'continental blonde' style, flavour and aroma." A perfect brew for a Sunday night. When I was pouring it I inadvertently created a tornado of bubbles in the glass. Not very interesting, but it looked boss. You had to be there really...

Game: Back in Skyrim tonight for possibly a final farewell, before I get rid and replace her for a younger model (called Witcher 2). Some lucky tinkers actually managed to get hold of Witcher 2 several days early thanks to Tesco "accidentally" putting it on store shelves prior to the official Tuesday 17th release date. Talk about kicking a game retailer when they're down - a new game that Game are actually stocking on release day and everyone's already bought it from Tesco! Well everyone except me by the looks of it, I was too slow on the uptake.
