Just getting a few things down.

For Michele

Thursday, June 02, 2005

I was sitting in a pub in Fleet Street earlier this evening with my friend Michele. Thanks to a small advertisement for a small brewery's draught beer on which was drawn a few heads of barley it became clear that Michele wasn't too clear as to the origin of hops. (In other words she hadn't a clue what they were.) So, here's a link for Michele and everyone else who is puzzled as to the provenance of hops and their use in brewing. (The history and the gallery are especially revealing.)

Thank you Graham. You actually made me cry

I don't have your new email address, Michele. Send me a mail at my usual address.

And why were you reading this almost two years after we sat in the pub?
