At last, a thread that deals important stuff ... none of the end - of - the - world, Gordon Brown, PB, Michael Jackson vs. Beer, something most of us can wax poetic about, and get all warm and fuzzy
Just asked Joan about Thomas Hardy, seem he was a one time director of Burtonwood Brewery and set out on his own, not sure where the beer is brewed now but the Bottling plant is still on the old Burtonwood site near Warrington very close to the old American air base
