The Last Wensleydale
On Saturday night I had the last of the Wensleydale beers that I bought in Leyburn (although there are still some Wensleydale beers for me to buy and try).

Cleaning the van
Today I am cleaning the van out after our week away. As our next trip away is without the van, several things need to be found in the van and transferred to suitcases.
Just got a call from the van insurance company, to let me know the it is that time of year again. £235 including UK recovery (not using it overseas this year), sounds good to me.

Saltaire, Blonde
Another Saturday night beer was,
Saltaire, Blonde from England
4.0% gold colour with a thin head, nice fruity aroma, and a good citrus hop taste.
When Titus Salt built Saltaire in 1853 (the famous model village, now a World Heritage site), it did not even include a pub, now it has a brewery.

Paella, Beer and Rugby.
Last night we went to Jonathan and Lorraine's to watch the Rugby, drink beer and eat food.
The only disappointment of the night was England's poor performance, as they lost to the Irish, although England still won the Six Nations. The beer and the food was very good though and as the Rugby was involved in the night, the first beer review is also Rugby related.
Batemans, Hooker from England
4.1% amber colour with a thin head, malty aroma, bitter caramel taste, not at all like the commercial description.

Tetley's, Imperial
The usual Friday night was different yet again, instead of the Smiths, we went to the Hope and Anchor, same village different pub.
The Hope and Anchor was very busy (we are not used to that) but we did get good service and we had to drink lovely Tetley's, Imperial.
I do not usually have a bad head on Saturday morning but today I do, it could be the Imperial or it could be the other beers I had when we got home. We were up late (late for us anyway), watching comic relief (red nose day) and drinking.
Tetley's, Imperial from England
4.3% dark brown with a good head, roast malt aroma and a fruity roast malt taste, this beer is a lot better than other reviewers argue and I like it.
