One of the greatest tradgedies I have encountered during this recent spell of hot weather was to discover that Gales Ales, producers of the up mto recently heavenly nectar known as HSB, have been taken over by Fullers....
If this wasnt bad enough, they have closed the aged brewery in Horndean, where the water used for making the beer was taken from their own artesan well and are now brewing it in London....
The describe myself as distraught is inadequate.... upon almost succumbing to the hot weather, I prescribed myself a long cold pint of HSB.. for medicinal purposes mind.... the perfect reviver for all that ails you.... only to be under the mistaken impression that there was a feindish plot afoot to poison me.... I was right... not a murderous attempt... but rather a commercial attempt on my life.... is there a law agianst commercial poisoning I wonder?...
Woe is me, gone forever the sublime taste of HSB, in its place a poor pretender to the name....
At least I have fond memories of of my brewery tour...
