A great draw in the Randomly Invented Rivalry. Didn't you hear Pal. We hate them, because of that thing that happened. (Shrugs Shoulders). (Mugs to camera). We now employ an army of online Blades. Searching every nook of the internet. Cranny's an’ all. For the merest hint of a slight from Norwich. Have you heard what they've said now. Not really mate, no.

Both sides looked good to me. Norwich are a fine attacking side. Coming at you at pace & with accurate passing. If pushed, I'd suggest United were just second best. But, as per, we had our chances. And, it was correctly celebrated as a hard fought draw.

I had some Norwich fan come up to me in the pre match Microbrewery. He's only gone & politely asked me what I'm drinking. And, what I thought of it. Then, as if that wasn't enough. He's told me it's a pity the stout they usually have isn't on, as he thought I would have enjoyed drinking that. Un. Believable. Hate ‘em me. Who do they think they are?

That was in Redwell Brewing Co. Superbly located. Maybe 15 minutes walk from the turnstiles. But, the “other way” from the station & town centre. Crazy Bollocks for the avoiding of. The Carrier Bag Firm LOVE that sort of prime positioning. With that one, and a few others I did over the weekend, that took my 2018/19 Season Brewery count to 85. Cavernous place with trestle tables. The Brewing kit is lovely and shiny at the back. Fully on display. But roped off. A creditable eight of their own on keg. I had…

Steam Lager 4.6%
King Wazoo, low abv Table Beer at 3.5%
Unicorn Rider, Double IPA at 7%

The Steam Lager was the best of those. However, the Outstanding Beer Of The Trip was in the Fat Cat Brewery Tap. With it being Burn's Night, they'd got a mini Scottish Beer Festival.

Campervan, Leith Juice on cask at 4.7%. Zesty & refreshing, the balance was spot on. It developed & developed, giving a big flavour hit in the finish.
