Local Beer - Bonkers Conkers
Monday was apparently a holiday here, despite most stores appearing open. The University was closed, making it a holiday for us, and during our trip to the letting agent to fill out some papers we stopped again at the St. Vincent. This time I sampled the real ale Bonkers Conkers from Greene King Brewery (that also brews other ales such as Old Speckled Hen, of particular interest to some of our readers). Understanding that I now believe real ales are far superior to other beers, this beer was good (so, better than most other beer), but nothing terribly special as far as real ales go.

Yes, Old Speckled Hen was brewed by Alette's Original Local Brewery, Morland's of Abingdon, before Greene King bought them and moved. I didn't particularly like their beers, but they were local. Alette's mum drank Morland's Stout while breastfeeding the Little Darling
