At the end of my two years at at Ruskin College, my comrades were all convinced that I had been given an endorsement, on my Diploma, for Home Brewing. (I had produced between five and ten gallons each week during term time.)
So I have made five gallons of Best Strong Bitter, five of Special Brew Lager and five of Irish Porter that tastes almost exactly, but not quite, like Guinness.
So come and fill up your pint pots - "Come, my little ones, and Drink,/ Before Life's Liquor in it's Cup runs dry!"
I will jostle with Bingley for the chocolate eclairs, after sharing a plate of delicious haggis with Jo - it goes very well with Guinness, incidentally, as well as with Malt.
When the serious work starts, I have a couple of bottles of Jameson's in my bag, which I will share with all like-minded souls.
And that's when we
really start to put the language to rights!
