The naggin wife? Is that similar to the whingeing GF or moaning fiance?
Sounds like I have the next 3 brew titles sorted :whistle:

All my Wedding Tackle has been swallowed, wedding was on Saturday and most of the adult guests tasted my Wedding Tackle. I started off with 4 cornies but with pre-wedding nerves and a few mates around I had about 2 and half cornies left for the reception.

We had two 36 pint polypins of Little Valley Brewery Withens Pale Ale with the wedding afternoon tea at the town hall.

The back to the farm for the receptions, I had two 36 gallon casks of Bridestones Brewing Sandstone and the aforementioned 2.5 cornies of Wedding Tackle. Also 39 bottles of wine, 200+ bottles of Peroni, 3 litres gin, 3 litres of vodka and a few bottles of Pimms.

It nearly all went, I cornied about 7 gallon of Sandstone and I have a polypin of Withens IPA but all the Wedding tackle went and I could have shifted much more. I had a massive booze bill, but I saved a bit by having the reception in the barn, If I had filled all my cornies and bottled some I could have cut the bill to less than half.

Fantastic weather and we had a magician for the kids and a ska band and no wedding DJ but music we chose for the adults plus meat and potato pie - marvellous! I now have empty pockets but spent about half the national average for a wedding and we had 200+ very merry guests at the evening do. Virtually no damage, only broke 3 glasses all evening.

I'm definitely brewing this one again, I got nothing but compliments on the beer.

Now off to Rome on Friday without the kids for a long weekend.

Good luck old boy...nothing but admiration for you. My wedding reception was last spring bank holiday, 6-8 degrees of drizzle, trying to feed a group of 70 piss artists with cheese and wine from a tent in the middle of a campsite with nowt but a tarpaulin for additional shelter...still 12 gallons of Dronfield Cascade Pale 4.3%abv and 5 gallons of Dronfield Best Bitter 4.5% abv disappeared.

On another note

Not easy trying to consummate the marriage in a camping field surrounded by ones ,so called, friends and relatives. I managed to, finally, get the much anticipated leg over in the disabled bog on site when no one was apparently looking, 3:00pm the following day...I frightened the life out of "Mavis" the bog washer..she arrived to do a quick service wash as I was on the said "stroke due vinegar"....the wife's face was priceless...one for the memory banks I think... :whistle:

Surely it has to be Dr. Hexter's Wedding Ale (although I prefer Dr. Hexter's Healer)
