I shall have to have a nice beer and perhaps a whiskey tonight in his
honour.  A fine man.

I never met him, but he was a dedicated beer drinker, so I say Proust!

Oh bother. Sad loss.

"The Beer Hunter" was one of the best series  ever on Channel 4, if not 
the entire wwp. I still have the free send-off-for accompanying booklet 
somewhere.

He visited a couple of Trappist monasteries, and was chatting to a 
couple of the monks - or maybe novices - they looked to be aged about 
17. He explained that the monks get to drink their beers with their 
meals, and how much is up to them, but that they don't get a choice of 
where in the monastery they work. He asked his new friends whether they 
enjoyed working in the brewery, and two previously serious faces split 
into wide grins and enthusiastic nodding: "Yes, we like to work in the 
brewery very much!" IIRC, he also went to a couple of beer festival 
tastings/ judgings with the Abbot, who seemed to be a fine chap.

I shall now have to go and look at my selection of ales - do I go for 
British or Belgian, to raise a glass? I think it will have to be St 
Cuthbert from Durham Brewery. Cheers, Michael.


[thinks] O goodness, I'll have to go through the whiskey guide too. 
Local emporium, Czerwiks of Brighouse, keeps its prices written in a 
copy of the guide.

I went to the polling station, but the only option
given was to vote for one or other of the politicians.

Michael Jackson performed our wedding ceremony.

Janet Jackson played the piano.
