Beware the Beast
Just five days to go until the launch of the 10th annual Solihull Beer Festival.
This year's choice brews range from such "session ales" as Church End's Gravediggers and Malvern Hills' Feelgood (both 3.8% ABV) to stronger beers such as Acorn's Willamette IPA (5%) and Bob's Chardonnayle (5.1%).
The more adventurous can even tempt fate with a pint of Exmoor's dark ale Beast (a formidable 6.6%), which I know from experience needs to be supped with some caution.
You can read the full details at Solihull CAMRA's award-winning website.
Sadly, I'm unable to join them next weekend, but I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to the festival's organisers for choosing Diabetes UK as their official charity, in memory of my wife Ann. It's a terrific gesture.

I think I'd need a couple of drinks inside me to watch morris dancers with a straight face.
