Pommelier, drinking good real/craft beer, riding a bike slowly, producing a fine tilth, finding obscure Heavy Rock. All worthy skills, but obsolete…or are they?

OK you win, it's been in my head for a day now - Nuclear Assault it is! Not sure why I never bought the LP, probably financial.

Spent a few days in Birmingham either side of that there big beer festival, this is what I was up to - looking at bulls, drinking in pubs, remembering Ozzy and spotting a few curios.😀

Well done, you saved what I was thinking until the end of the article! If this was a pumpclip would I display it? No. Would I stock the product? No. Would I use the brewery / cider producer? No.

Agreed, Magic Rock was a bit special. Interesting how many different beers people have mentioned in the comments - certainly not a one hit wonder.
