Take Away

On Sunday I was well and truly back on the drinking wagon after giving my liver a two week reprieve. I met up with some friends at my local Young's pub - The Brook Green Hotel to enjoy a typical Sunday meal. I made mine a Burger, and I upscaled and payed the extra pound for bacon and cheese - a worthy investment in my book.

After smashing down three or four pints of Young's brilliant Winter Warmer I needed to relieve myself. I will spare you the details of how I wrestled the massive serpentine that is my manhood and fill you in on the poster I observed at eye level. Now normally in pubs they will display the newspaper (sometimes page 3) or their guest ale list. Not at the Brook Green! Here they advertise their new take away beer service.... That's correct - you can now take your favourite draught ales home with you in a sturdy 2 pint beer hopper. This looks like an over sized milk carton (pictured top left), I spied this specimen on the bar. Anyhow I am intrigued to see whether this concept takes off, especially as there is a giant Tesco supermarket located directly behind the pub which is bound to have a greater selection of ales at cheaper prices.
By the way, I only managed to get one or two strange looks as I took the photo of the poster (which is below). It did not occur to me until a little while later that it must be a strange sight seeing a guy taking photos in the gents - one hand on the camera phone, one hand on his wang.
