Favourite Nautical related tipple.

[Bligh]

Here is one with a bit of background information attached.






Butcombe’s customers recently turned sailors for the day as they enjoyed the launch of the brewery’s new permanent ‘Matthew Pale Ale’ on board the sensational full-size working replica of John Cabot’s ship ‘The Matthew’.
The ship pays homage to John Cabot, the famous honorary Bristolian seafarer and explorer, who sailed from Bristol in 1497 aboard ‘The Matthew’ laying claim to discovering North America. ‘The Matthew’, usually moored outside the Arnolfini arts centre and gallery in central Bristol, was moored for the day outside Butcombe’s flagship waterfront pub, The Cottage on Baltic Wharf, with its legendary views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Cliftonwood’s colourful houses.

[TexaS]

Oh! Jonas.
Rob.

I know, I know. It's an old joke (200 years) but it's a good one. Thank you, Theodore Hook.

[Bligh]

Just joking Jonas.
I liked it really.
Rob.

Quite a few ships seen in these waters over the years.




Rob.

[Bligh]

And for today.



Rob.

[Naharaht]

I do not think that we have had this one.

[Bligh]

That would double for the Drome Dave.
Rob.

[Bligh]

As indeed would this one.






Rob.

[Naharaht]

If I used Chinook ale over on the Aerodrome, I would prefer a picture of the helicopter on the label.

I also prefer Tuna to Salmon.

[Bligh]

Here is my offering for today.




Rob.

[Naharaht]

Here is another fish.

A very different type of fish Dave.

Rob.

[Bligh]

My ale of the day.........



Rob.

[Naharaht]

Good one, Rob! These might be to your taste.

[Bligh]

I know a rhyme about that Dave.

Very nice.

Rob.

[Bligh]

If you liked Spanker you will like this out of the same stable.




Rob.

[Naharaht]

Just as long as you are not

[Naharaht]

This drink does not have an appealing name.

[Bligh]

You are quite correct Dave.
I can't say I fancy that one.
Rob.

[Bligh]

How about this one.




Rob.

[Bligh]

My offering for today is based on my exploits at Hereward show yesterday.



Rob.

You seem to attract fire, Rob.

What shall we do with this?

Republican Crew!
Give 'em a taste of.......
