I love that Kelham Island – sampled it several times in Hillborough Barracks after watching the Owls get tonked 5-0 be Scunthope or something. I may be persuaded to pop in for one in the afternoon – \hit me up” as the kids say on the Twitters.”

Yes, I’m certainly interested in having a couple of afternoon ales. I’m on 3 very tight deadlines, then kiddie duty, so mid afternoon would suit me best. You?As it happens, when I picked this up I was on the Overground so I got out a stop early at Canonbury and asked them what was on (Snooty Fox is opposite Canonbury station, btw). It’s all northern beers, 2 from Kelham Island. Pale Rider was one, he wasn’t sure about the other because he hadn’t set it all up yet.So, yes, up for a couple definitely. How do you want to coordinate it?

Mid afternoon would suit me too, and sounds good for @psmith. Between 3 and 4pm? I’ll DM you my mobile number. Lou’s prob going to come down too.
