Adnams Ale

We visited the extraordinary Noz* discount store in Loches today, in search of manbags#...
(it's a long story).

L>R: Adnams Innovation, Hardy & Hansons Rocking Rudolph and Captain Chrismas, Elgood's Golden Newt.


We didn't find those, but instead there turned out to be rather a lot of English beer
a huge stack from Adnam's of Southwold...  
Innovation [7.6% ABV] at 1.79€ a bottle...
a few bottles from Elgood's of Wisbech...  
Golden Newt [4.6% ABV] at 0.65€...
and two Christmas Ales from Hardy & Hanson [owned and brewed by Greene King]...  
Captain Christmas and Rocking Rudolph [both 4.2% ABV] at 0.75€...
the last two available on draught, normally...
Rocking Rudolph is particularly nice!!
But we've never tried either bottled.

All well within "sell by" date and the Adnam's a strong ale at that.
Needless to say we bought some...
but at the time there was plenty of the Adnams and Hardy & Hansons brews left.
Just thought you ought to know.
