This strange looking thing on the left is a beer. It's brewed by those whacky Septics at Samuel Adams brewery. A website says that it retails for $100 per 24 ounce bottle. Wickman is an expert in such matters and can tell you that 24 ounces US is about 1.25 UK pints. You don't want to get into a round of those babies late on Saturday night... while it is a brain mangling 25% alcohol there are cheaper ways to ming. Wickman remembers White Lightening was the modus operandi of the outside drinking enthusiast a while back and he's always believed in taking expert advice.
Saturday evening sees the return to the Wick of one of the most liver poundingly good events of the year - Beers of the World. The idea is you buy SIX or more beers from anywhere in the world (geddit) and donate them to the Wick bar. This is your entry ticket. You then buy back any of the beer that has been donated for £2 a pop. This raises money for The Wick. Last year Hibby turned up with four Carling Premier. Now, whilst this was indubitably a light refreshing lager, with a hint of gas and a light hoppy aroma, it wasn't very interesting. It still got drunk of course but it would be good to see a bit of ingenuity...
No doubt we'll get around to laying on some food of some description for a small additional price and there will be music (resident DJ Geniussound) and frolics including Beersoftheworldpong and Corona Darts. Whisper who dares but Saturday could be a very big night out.
All are welcome so spread the word.
