December 2024. Sheffield.
Not yet 1pm and onto a fifth pub, and a seventh tick for Jim, who clearly has the stamina of youth.
Living in the UK’s top pub city means I’m often required to drop the crochet I started up in retirement and escort Pub Men round the new classics,
and the Crow is probably the star debutant of the last five years. Certainly a keg selection to match Kelham Island’s finest, and always something daft on.
Two American kegs over 10%, a 14.03% Bourbon Stout being the obvious pick for Untappd hipsters like the two below,
but sanity prevailed and a half of Waterbeach’s finest was almost a low alcohol option by now.
Pastore’s Passionfruit & Guava Tropical Sour was SO good that Jim had to follow his cask with a half. Mrs RM would have hated it; why do only boys like sours ?

I wondered why my crocheted beer can holder was taking so long.

14.03%?
They’re having a larf, aren’t they? No one measures the alcohol content to two decimal places. (OK, apart from Abbeydale Black Mass 6.66%, but that’s just artistic licence.)
Or is there an arithmetical joke that I’m not getting?

It’s rounding. Actually 14.0267%

I was thinking job 14:03, but I think it’s just 14:3. Then I found this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_and_Blowjob_Day
