Saturday Morning Beer Blogging

Ivanhoe Pale Ale. Brewed by Ridgeway Brewing in South Stoke, Oxfordshire U.K.
Ok, the picture is a little fuzzy. Whatever. This is beer blogging damnit! A distinct lack of clarity is in order, even if nothing else is. In reality, the fact that you can’t clearly see the label is a bit of a shame because it is one of the better ones. Two very postmodern two dimensional Knights mid joust surrounded by heroic phrases such as “It cannot be that in England there will not be found one to fight for justice.” How can you go wrong?
As it turns out, you can’t. Ivanhoe is a wonderful pale ale which Ridgeway describes as “A very English pale ale.” Absolutely the best English beer I’ve tasted since the last time I had a Bluebird Bitter. No matter what sorry condition you find yourself in this fine morning, run out and grab yourself a bottle or two.
That, or do what you were doing. I don’t really care. I just pretend I do, because I assume that will endear me to you bastards.
