Old Engine Oil

Yesterday I was so so thirsty that I decided I would drink anything offered and the only thing offered was a pint of Old Engine Oil. And I drank it!! And it was delicious!! And it was chocolaty! And it was velvety!! And it was as black as that well known Irish/Nigerian Lager. So I drank another pint.

May I recommend that if by any chance the same opportunity becomes available to you, then seize it with both arms (or at least one arm) and enjoy. Just make sure it was brewed by Harviestoun.

Didn’t make Coventry Basin today. Just got too cold at five o’clock to keep going. So we stopped at Hawkesbury Junction at the end of the North Oxford Canal just before we turn on to the Coventry Canal bound for Stoke on Trent. Gosh doesn’t it all sound a long long way from home.

Funnily enough as we are moored by a pub, a pint of Old Hooky or Nooky or whatever it is called, seems to be on the wine menu tonight. Already enjoyed a couple of pints of this recently so I hope I will not be disappointed.

This blog could easily turn into an ad for CAMRA (CAMpaign for Real Ale for any of our foreign readers) if I let it. But that would necessitate sampling great quantities of strange sounding brews and that wouldn’t please POS one bit. Could be fun though!!
