Leffe On Tap

Graham (Kathy’s second cousin) popped over to Bath last night. We had ace food at The Globe, then got a taxi into town. We thought we might go to the recently-opened JD Wetherspoon’s in Kingsmead, but we glanced in the window and thought that it looked a little…soulless.

(Side note for trivia fans: it seems that a new record was set last Sunday on the pub’s opening in that it only took two hours for a fight/riot/disturbance to occur and the Police to be called out. I love Bath! Lovely Bath! Alcohol-fuelled violence Bath! The Bath they would rather not talk about! Whoever ‘They’ are!)

So it was with impeccable irony that we went to All Bar One instead. It was nice, though, as they had the wonderful Belgian Trappist Monk beer Leffe Blond on tap. I’ve never seen it on tap outside Belgium — always in bottles — so this was a pleasant surprise. In respect of its 6.6% alcohol content and in deference to European bistro culture, I had a half.

So, Graham, if you’re reading this: cheers! Top night, good to see you, hope the anti-cat-allergy tablets don’t cause any nasty side-effects. Some links from our various conversations:
