h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've bought a bottle of the Strange Land Porter and one of Bishopsgate Barely Wine (partly because I love barley wines and partly because Bishopsgate used to be part of my manor, at least work-wise).

If you want to know why the name Entire is entirely (ahem ) appropriate for the porter, read on... http://zythophile.co.uk/2015/06/05/the-three-threads-mystery-and-the-birth-of-porter-the-answer-is/

Barely wine or barley wine?

Oh gawd, not again

I drank the porter last night. It was delicious, and the carbonation was far smoother than most other American porters, which is as you'd expect for a bottle-conditioned (not force-carbonated) beer. I don't know if I'll be drinking it too often though. It comes in a bomber (22oz bottle), and bombers are always more expensive per oz than 12oz bottles for some reason, and of the three year-round beers I saw on the shelf it was the most expensive - $7.99 as opposed to $5.99 for the saison. I can get a six-pack of 12oz bottles for $7.99. That's 72oz of beer for same price as 22. You ain't got to be Albert Einstein to figure out which is the best deal there

It is very good though, and I'm keen to try it on draught.
