the friday question

Last week’s answer was of course that Oxford Brewery brewed its last batch on Wednesday 30th December 1998. There’s an excellent history of the brewery at http://thomas.cizauskas.net/articles/oxford.html.  Now although Trevor, in his rush to post the answer, forgot to give the day and Brandon followed up on his mistake with the complete answer I think it would be harsh to penalize Trevor for this small oversight (it was after all the quickest response I’ve ever had to the Friday Question!)  So, in a fit of uncommon generosity, I am going to award prizes to both Trevor and Brandon …. I know, I know …. where will the madness end?

On to this weeks question. Next September I intend to be sitting in the snug of my local In Coventry, supping a pint of Mild. Where will I be … a) The Golden Cross b) The Chelsea Potter c) The Bat & Ball d) The Nursery Tavern or e)The Square Albert.

Easy! Please submit one answer only via the comment section below and you could win one of our cool new t-shirts that we’ll be taking delivery of in the very near future.

I’m pleased to announce that Oliver Ale is now available in the D.C. area. We’re on tap at RFD (810 7th St. NW) now and will be available elsewhere in the very near future … I’ll keep you posted.

Fans of our pumpkin ale, Freddie’s Revenge, are a thirsty bunch apparently … we’re down to our last couple of gallons here at The Ale House. Freddie’s Revenge is also on tap at the upstairs bar at The Metropolitan Coffee House & Wine Bar, Federal Hill … get it while you can! Coming up on Friday 6th November at 1.30pm will the the first pour of the all new 8% a.b.v. William’s Winter Warmer. Please join us for this very special occasion.

Don’t forget, Hot Monkey Love is on tap and cask NOW. The cask won’t last long, be warned!

    Yikes, good question. Ok, so maybe it’s not The Nursery Tavern!

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not commenting upon the validity of your answer, just the outfit … believe me, this is a pub frequented by Morris Dancers so she would fit right in!
