Reluctantly I was forced :whistle: by the club on all expenses trip :whistle: to Mexico in search of Austin's. Sadly few Brit cars, a couple of new Minis and Land Rovers. However, on behalf of you all I undertook an extensive tasting (reluctantly) of the local beer and the clear winner was Bohemia. The Dos Equis was tasted after the bar ran out of Bohemia :oops:

My daughter worked briefly for a specialist beer importer and brought home a couple of 14% proof beers. Almost needed a spoon to get it out of the glass.

No visit to Peterborough would be complete without a trip to The Brewery Tap of Oakham Ales, claimed to be the largest brewpub in Europe, they brew some of the finest ales in the East Midlands... :thumbs:

I swore that I'd never buy another Shepherd Neame beer, but this caught my eye at 99p. However it has reconfirmed that they only brew dishwater... :whistle:

The kids got me a pack of '13 guns' American IPA . Very good but a bit strong. Probably from Costco.
