Can you still get Theakstone Old Peculiar? 'O' Yes, and its owned by a member of the Theakstons family again. He started the Black sheep brewery and moved next door, sold a lot of beer and bought back Theakstons.

I agree with Gwyn, there are some lovely microbreweries in the states, it isn't all Bud, thankfully. Denver is especially good which is ironic as Coors is based there too. At a conference reception recently I asked if they had some dark beer. The confused hostess said: "I think we have some Mich...

BEER!
...I have tried the strongest ale made in Britain, namely "Ths Dogs Bollocks" yep thats is name. It's 15%... Are you sure about that? I knew the D's Bs when it was out and it was between 5.2 and 6.5% brewed by Wychwoods. Must be a different one. This was served at a Sheffield beer fest a couple of y...

There are so-called beers I would (and have) turned my nose up at. Bud Light anyone, or perhaps a Coors? As the Wychwood Brewery ad for Hobgoblin says: "Afraid to taste something, lager boy?" Now I have offended half the group I shall go back to work and hide... K. Or there was the other ad....

Red Stripe and Brakspear! Both bring back memories. I lived in Jamaica for a while - where Red Stripe is the local beer - and also in Bedford, where Charles Wells brews the UK version. In Jamaica I used to have lunch in a small cafe where the food was good, but not as mouth-watering as the wait...

BEER!
I love a nice cider too. Nothing quite beats an ice cold glass on a warm summers evening. Talking of cider, I have the juice from 9lbs of blackberries in my freezer. It was my intention to try making a cider from it but I never got around to it. I wonder if I should add a slice of ham to it if I ...

I lived in Munich for 18 months Stefan and tried virtually every variety of beer on offer, except Pils... I remember my time in Holland that Witbier had a bit of a reputation as a lady's drink... to me it was spoilt by adding Citrus... I did discover Grolsch Weizen before I left to come back to t...

Brakespear Triple is very nice as is Fullers Golden Pride. Both are favourites of mine :D I've recently sampled the odd bottle of Fullers Vintage Ale which is also very very nice :wink: Have quite a few bottles of Fullers Vintage ales as far back as '99. Took a bottle to a winemaker in SA las...

BEER!
One thing about South Africa that I enjoy most is the variety of fair beers brewed right here!! Okay, we have got rubbish as well but our finest beers will rate among the best in the world. Windhoek beers are brewed in Namibia, our neighbouring country. If you ever see one anywhere, try it out......

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
Does anyone know why Pentax are AGAIN not at Focus on Imaging? What are thier marketing team playing at???? With products as good as thiers they shoud be pushing hard to compete with the likes of Olympus,Sony(Minolta)etc.

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
We've been here before, but my feeling is that Pentax know how much product they have available to sell and also how they want to spend their advertising budget. In the former case, it's possible that they can't produce enough product to truly take on Canon and Nikon, so they tailor things accord...

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
The last 2 years I have been they wer'nt there, however Cameraworld has had the full range to play with. Last year they had the 60-250 and 55 well before they were in the shops.

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
Interesting replies, thanks. I'll look out for the Cameraworld stand, I wonder if the digital medium format camera will make it by then?????? I like the look of the new little Optio 1-10, pity it doesn't have an optical viewfinder though. What do others think??

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
I like it too, I think I would prefer it to the Canon G11. I know it has a smaller sensor but it has the Pentax badge on it and looks great. Will be interesting to see how it performs. Hopefully Someone will have it a Focus.
