Perhaps Stuart's Mum (Hello Stuart's Mum) had been dinking too much Hobgoblin when she saw a P50! No offence.
oooh, Mum's strictly teetotal except for a dash of Balieys at Christmas.....
Yes indeed, Hobgoblin beer comes from Wychwood brewery which itself is located in Witney. Right next door to my old school in fact, and I used to walk past the place every day. Sounds romatic doesn't it; Wychwood brewery, but I can tell you its anything but! If you were to study the label on your next bottle Marcus, I wonder if it would tell you that the rest of its address is the Crofts industrial estate, which is one of the most grottyest areas in town!!! Or at least it was when I was at school only a few years ago. With a brewery just over the wall, many was the times when a class was interupted to shut all the doors and windows due to the wind changing and wofting all that rather destinctive brewery pong everywhere.
They also used to keep all the full barrels out in the open yard as well, and many was the time when a few of the more "adventurus" boys would climb the wall with a bottle in hand, but woe betide anyone that was cought doing it......
These days Wychwood Brewery is known all over for their delivery vehicles; A bedford TK lorry and a Morris Minor pickup (you paying attention Daniel?) and Hobgoblin is just one of their beer ranges. One of their newer beers is called, would you belive, "The dogs B**lkc's"!!!!!
