Check out the Black Sheep Brewery in Yourkshire if ever you have the chance; they make an amazingly yummy-licious porter!

I loooooove beer & ale, and prefer a heavier, more substantial brew as a general rule; I gave a talk on the history of brewing, and especially the place of women in brewing, just a few months ago. Up until the early modern period, when men started sussing out that it was a potetially luicrative concern, almost all commercial brewing was done by women, usually as a sort of cottage industry, since it was something that could be done at home Ale is at least as old as bread, and has an excellent claim to being a staff of life on its own merits! whilst still attending to other domestic duties.

So ladies---don't ever let anyone make you order a half pint again!
