Maximus (Double Maxim)

Name: Maximus
Label: "National Award Winner - Strong Premium Ale"
Brewery: Double Maxim Beer Company Ltd
ABV: 6.0%

Rating: A strong warming beer that is also smooth and easy drink

Game: As previously posted, starting to clear the game decks in preparation for the arrival of Alan Wake in May. Completed HAWX on Normal difficulty (Normal strangely being the easiest setting in the list of difficulties). This is definitely the best of its kind on the Xbox 360 at the moment, ridiculous storyline but solid gameplay and a good variety of missions. The storyline in a nutshell (spoiler): you used to work for the US Government but now work for Artemis, a mercenary outfit. You do some contracts for the US, Artemis and US fall out, you rejoin with the US, Artemis takes over US and threatens nuclear holocaust, you save the world from the comfort of your cockpit. 8 / 10.

Best Bitter (St. Peter's)

Name: Best Bitter
Label: "A traditional best bitter ale brewed with Pale and Crystal malts and Goldings aroma hops"
Brewery: St. Peter's
ABV: 3.7%

Rating: The Brewery sounds like its steeped in history and the beer is great. I wonder if they do a larger range than the paltry two offerings that Asda provide.

Game: I found out: H.A.W.X stands for High Altitude Warfare eXperimental squadron. And there's absolutely no hint whatsoever of the developers coming up with a cool acronym and then trying to fit fighter plane related words around it.  Splendid game though and an absolute bargain at £6.98.

John Willie's (J. W. Lees)

Name: John Willie's
Label: "Premium bitter"
Brewery: J. W. Lees
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: Named after Mr J W Lees himself apparently. Stop sniggering at the back.

Game: Everyone seems to be playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 at the moment. Everyone except me that is.  Think I've missed out here on some awesome gameage.  Seems almost as big as Modern Warfare 2, even without the Daily Mail incitement tactics to raise publicity.  Back to H.A.W.X then.  Off the top of my head H.A.W.X stands for High Altitude Warfighter.... er Xylophone perhaps?  I don't know what the X stands for at the moment, or the W for that matter (although the H and A are definitely correct). I will check and report back at a later date. The X can't be a full word though because it doesn't have the appropriate punctuation after the letter X.  <--- (like this X does).

6X (Wadworth)

Name: 6X
Label: "Rich copper colour, vibrant fruit and malt aromas, combined with tempting hop flavours: an easy drinking beer"
Brewery: Wadworth
ABV: 4.3%

Rating: I have no idea what 6X means. If you know please DM me @bickle77

Game: It's total game overload at the moment. I've bought a load of new games using "Easter" as a convenient excuse. Lots of great deals around so picked up Forza 3, Tom Clancy's HAWX and Darksiders. Still playing Borderlands, DJ Hero and need to replay Mass Effect 2. Just got back into FIFA 10 after definitely having my shooting boots on yesterday. Someone seriously needs to invent a cure for sleep!
