    Some of those sound really good. I’m a pale ale fan. Only one I’ve tried though is Coopers. Wasn’t all that I’m afraid.

    I like some of the names, there's been some inventive labels over the years. Captain Sensible off that list (cue the Damned), There was a brewery in Salisbury made FGB while back now. Bishops Finger is a Kentish strong ale AKA Nuns Delight https://www.shepherdneame.co.uk/beer/bishops-finger thankfully available here in the Hague.

    I’ve tried 14 out of the 20.
    I’ve tried 14 of the 20. The beer scene has improved over the last few years. Definitely some quality beers around now, especially outside of the main brewers.

    I had a beer in Chicago called Krankshaft - it wasn`t an IPA, it was like old engine oil, so was appropriately named.

    Rumours beginning to surface on Twitter that Asia’s richest man (Chinese), Jack Ma is interested in buying us but only if he gets 100% of the club. Interesting times

    Compared to the Crown Prince of Saudi who allegedly is looking at Newcastle, Saint Jack is more like a poor Mother Theresa
