Liquid Treasure

My wife took the kids to a birthday party so I thought I'd take a walk to the local Farmers Market (Belper, Derbyshire) I said to myself I was going to be good and not buy a truck load of Ostrich meat ... after all, I'd have to cary it home.

The market was good - as usual and the que for the Ostrich burgers was long - as usual. So I thought I'd nip into Liquid Treasure - a specialist drink shop. To be honest, I wish I hadn't.

What a blooming amazing supply of all the specialist beers I've been longing to try. Not only do they stock all the local brewers like Thornbridge, Amber Ales, Titanic, Nutbrook, Burton Bridge but also a massive range of international stuff.

I now have a heavy bag to lug home with me! No doubt I'll be sending pics to Twitpic when I open them, but as a taster the loot contains beers from Sierra Nevada, Brooklyn, Brew Dog, Kwak, Tournay and Hook Norton!

It's a good job the Black Swan next door is open and they are serving Thornbridge Lord Marples to prepare me for the walk back.

I'm writing this, adding the photos and uploading on the iPhone but may have to break off to grab pint number two ;)
