You might wonder why there are only four in the photo? The fifth arrived as a pile of glass and stale beer smell as it had broken in transit. It was a bottle of "Doris's 90th Birthday Ale" but judging by the label & name I'm not that bothered that it was broken, an old lady is not the type of thing that gets me thirsty...

seriously do you ever buy your own beer?
You bet I do, Source Deli in Ormskirk stocks some great beers and I keep my eyes out on the supermarket deals too.
I've recently bought lots of canned & bottled Punk IPA, Stringers IPA & Dry Stout as well as some Marston's Old Empire & Fuller's ESB during Tesco's excellent '4 for £5' deal.
A lot of the samples are waiting for audio 'baron ratings' with Chris so it's not like I can just down the lot on my own.
Since starting this blog in July 2009 I've been amazed and humbled by just how generous brewers are in sharing their hard-crafted beer - thank you everyone for the chance to try all these great ales!
