Spitfire
Shepherd Neame Spitfire (4.5% abv) is a special bitter with an excellent fresh hoppy taste. this particular pint was enjoyed at "The Bloomsbury" a Shepherd Neame tied house on New Oxford St in Bloomsbury. Originally launched as a seasonal ale, Spitfire proved so popular that it was added permenently to Shepherd Neame's regular lineup. Along with the beer came several rather humerous advertising posters which are retrospective in style (to WWII era) and contain many puns which are deliberately offensive to Germans! I like Spitfire as it is a great session beer.

Just stumbled onto your blog and think it's great. I don't believe we have Spitfire here in the U.S. - I've looked for it from time to time and really like the Battle of Britain historical connection. Seeing the advertisements you've shared makes me like it all the more.
Next time I'm editing, I'll be adding you to my blog list - great work!
