For those able to brew millions of pints of beer, the Chancellor's cut in beer duty proved to be a bit of a windfall. Everyone else, help yourself to some shrapnel. About the only thing you can use a 2p piece for these days is on a scratch card. For scratching it.

Had a great afternoon recently in The Brewer's Art in Baltimore, all the beers we had were top-notch so their one-off Yorkshire Stingo should be a winner!

A screenshot of Robert's Untappd entry for a beer called A Day Trip to Dusseldorf brewed on site at The Brewer's Art in Baltimore. His notes read: Roasty-toasty and smoky yet easy drinking with a lightweight ABV compared to some of their other offerings. Beautiful venue, tasty food, good happy hour specials and attentive staff. 3.75 out of 5.
