Anything you're going to bid on?

Honey porter to finish.
Another keg that must be on its dregs

I'm going to go over for the viewing just to see such a great collection in the flesh. I doubt that many will go for the estimates though, likely to be much higher I'd have thought. Although that '59 Les Paul in the photo I posted has an estimate of £300,000 - £500,000!

Very much an outlier though, the bulk of the collection estimates range from £1000 to £6000 but given the provenance I reckon most will fetch a lot more.

So to answer your question - unlikely!

I like the '58 Les Paul Special with P90s. The three workhorse red strats are interesting, presumably exceptional pieces thrown up from the production line.

Last one tonight.
They are right about the rich & fruity aspect, it's like a carbonated cordial.

This was lunch Franziskaner Weissbier.
A pork schnitzel was had alongside at some time.

LOVE Franziskaner- they have it in my local bar in Spain- a lifesaver, otherwise it'd be Cruzcampo..... They stopped doing Estrella Galicia last year, which I quite like on draught....

A couple of IPA's, love this ale.

 

[Donegal john]

A nice Irish red ale to sit and watch dune while everyone is out

 

[YeastFace]

A small glass of M&S' gewurztraminer whilst I do the roast. Rest has gone in a mason jar with some French oak to be added into the mixed ferm thing (it will be more wine than beer at this rate) in a few weeks.

 

[Donegal john]

Bring out the gimp.

They got a tap room in Kirkby Lonsdale,well worth a visit.

 

[Clint]

I've been in it at least twice. They had a nice mild on tap.

 

[samale]

Haven't had this in a while

Happy Sunday guys and gals, this keg is nearly done might brew another tomorrow

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Plenty to eat and drink last night with good friends. Lots of food, beer, wine, port, spirits. Big full English breakfast this morning followed by an excellent pub visit today/tonight, mostly drinking London Pride. Home again now and waiting for an Indian. For me, a great weekend! I hope you’re all having a great weekend too.
