Whitby Whaler (Whitby Brewery)

Whitby Whaler (Whitby Brewery)
Name: Whitby Whaler
Label: "Amber - Toffee - Citrus"
Brewery: Whitby Brewery
ABV: 4.0%

Tasting notes: "A fruity bitter with a malty, citrus flavour and a not too intense bitter finish. The combination of both East Kent and Aurora hops gives Whitby Whaler a pleasantly fruity full flavour.  This beer should be quaffed heartily."

Game: Remember when explorers used to go around murdering pretty much everyone and everything that moved? No, us neither. But that's Lara Croft in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The murderous, light-fingered grave botherer extraordinaire. It would still be amazing without all the murdering to be honest, but video games, eh?

Dragons Heart (Felinfoel)

Dragons Heart (Felinfoel)
Name: Dragon's Heart
Label: "The oldest brewery in Wales - Welsh Craft Ale"
Brewery: Felinfoel Brewery
ABV: 4.2%

Tasting notes: "This is a full drinking premium Welsh Ale which is malty and gently hopped. Dragon's Heart has a rich colour and smooth balanced character with lots of red fruit flavours and buttery overtones."

Game: The first new game in a while: Jurassic Park Evolution.  Theme park management sim where your visitors can get eaten, which happens a lot until you stop playing like a complete fool. The dinosaurs kept escaping, until we realised (pro tips incoming) you have to make sure the dinos are happy! So plenty of grassland and/or forest depending on their requirements. Oh and food. Food is important. We had several enclosures and were wondering why the dinos kept breaking out. No feeding stations. Duh!
