Wojtek (Beartown)

Name: Wojtek
Label: "Wojtek was a magnificent 500lb Syrian Bear who served in WW2 alongside a unit of Polish Soldiers. Believing he was a man, Wojtek shared their beer, their cigarrettes and, eventually, their fate. See more at: www.wojtekfilm.com"
Brewery: Beartown
ABV: 5.5%

Rating: "Wojtek, like the bear it is named after, this beer is powerful, deep golden, and full of character. A medley of old and new world hops provide an aroma of hop resin and a very distinctive dry finish of citrus fruit and juniper." I much prefer a bear that shares your beer rather than tries to rip your face off.  A good compromise.

Game: The naval element of Assassin's Creed 3 is brilliant.  Miles better than the tower defence type sections in Revelations. Blowing stuff up with cannon is most fun.  Although it can get quite tricky to steer... I crashed the boat into some rocks and yet I could have sworn I heard someone say "Well driven, Cap'n."  Well driven?  Someone doth take the piss, surely. Still gets 9/10, I've not happened across any bugs or glitches yet either.

Bruins Ruin (Beartown)

Name: Bruins Ruin
Label: "Made in Cheshire"
Brewery: Beartown Brewery
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: Deep copper coloured strong bitter.  Full of character and dry lingering hoppy finish. Bruin means "bear" in some foreign language or other.  This is the last of the bear related beers that I could find in Asda. It was fun while it lasted.

Game: Remember 1988? An awesome game came out called Splatterhouse which everyone used to talk about. I played it. Twas indeed awesome.  Now I have the 2010 reboot.  It didn't rate too well but it's great button-mashing fun and as gory as heck. It gets the thumbs up from me and then the thumbs are removed and used as weapons to gouge your brains out with. Fantastic looking levels and more blood than you can shake a bloody stump at, 7/10

Polar Eclipse (Beartown)

Name: Polar Eclipse
Label: "Made in Cheshire"
Brewery: Beartown Brewery
ABV: 4.8%

Rating: Rich creamy smooth stout with light hoppy notes and a dry bitter finish. Did you know that there are no polar bears in the South Pole? It's called the Antarctic because "arctic" is foreign for "bear" and the "ant" bit of the word means "anti" or "no / non" so overall it means "no bears" or something. Genius.

Game: Finally finished Oblivion! It took about 60 hours - I probably could have done a degree or created a work of art in that sort of time.  Never mind eh?  Anyway, what a superb game (9/10 by the way), it's certainly whetted the dungeon crawling appetite for Skyrim later on in the year or next year or whenever the heck it comes out. For now though it's time to start on the Shivering Isles expansion pack and tie up some loose ends on a couple of outstanding side missions if I can be arsed.
