Hello Hello Hivians and beer lovers.
It is Saturday and been forever and a day that I shared a beer with you, in fact today was only the second day of 2023 that I had a beer.
We were out in town and rather than have some overpriced garbage at the funfair in town for the week we decided to try Alfie's pub. It used to be the Tipsy Cow but that shut down, and has been reincarnated as Alfies, it had a simple yet enticing menu.
Plus it was not a chain pub!
It might not have been a chain pub, but do you see the chain stool 馃ぃ
Okay let's get back to the beer.
I am not a lager fan, I mean I will drink it if there is nothing else, but I prefer a darker beer.
My first beer since February so I decided to have a trusted favourite!
I am in Scotland after all, so a pint of Caledonia Best came into play. Brewed in Wellpark Brewery, it is described as
I describe it as cheap and cheerful but smooth!
Even the menu was cheap and cheerful.
We choose to share three starters ... Can you guess which ones???
First though, look at that pint, the barmaid knew her stuff, a perfect pint of Caledonia Best.
We timed it well and got our food at 2pm. You can see where we sat was pretty quiet, which was fine as it filled in no time, and we would have been struggling to get a table.
Talking about tables, did you guess what food or more precisely what 3 starters did we choose?
I had never had pulled beef before in a quesadilla and my goodness it was fluffing delicious! Even Mrs T who coming from Colorado has eaten her share of quesadillas, was waxing lyrical about it.
For info if you were wondering we had the chicken wings and nacho. The chicken wings were the whole wing.
The food was outstanding and we will be back.
All I can say is cheers and Happy Saturday!
It does go down rather well!
The window sill had some interesting articles!
Let me leave you with one of the books that was so appropriate for today and shows The Universe delivers!
Yes the book was titled "THE GREEN EARTH"
Today is April 22nd. Do you know what has been celebrated every April 22nd since 1970?
So Happy EARTH DAY
