Golden Champion (Badger)

Name: Golden Champion
Label: "Thirst place - Countryside ales - Brewed in Dorset"
Brewery: Badger
ABV: 5.0%

Rating: Golden Champion - a headstrong but loyal stallion who enjoys the warm days grazing in the fields. The subtle elderflower aromas of this delicately floral brew are reminiscent of a summer's evening. This divine all-rounder is a great companion for smoky, chargrilled chicken and peppery rocket salad.

Game: Noel Gallagher seems to have added his two penneth into the mix blaming brutal video games for the UK riots.  Considering he used to be a nobody from inner-city Manchester (and as such used to have the opinion that if you're not good at music or football then you have no hope in life), you can't help but suspect that had he not found fame and fortune in music, himself and his brothers would have been at the business end of the looting and rioting.  I think Noel's rubbish music is to blame for the UK riots anyway. His radio-friendly pop mush is enough to drive anybody to violence.

Champion (McEwan's)

Name: Champion
Label: "A very strong dark traditional Scottish Ale with an intense rich flavour, yet surprisingly easy to drink"
Brewery: McEwans's
ABV: 7.3%

Rating: The Special Brew of the real ale world maybe, but it actually tastes really good.

Game: So this week I've been in dire need of some Guitar Hero action. With Guitar Hero World Tour played/traded and Guitar Hero 5 still way too expensive, enter Guitar Hero: Van Halen.  To be honest I'm not immediately familiar with their material (despite realising how amazingly successful and popular they are) but from playing the game I recognise a fair bit. And it is good. I want to read this Van Halen entry on wikipedia but I just can't be arsed (have you seen how long it is?). Game on!
