Walked into Nottingham via the university campus again. This time I've stopped at Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem for a pint of Monkey Brewery Infinity IPA.


A few minutes before I arrived I received a message from Tesla with yet another cost estimate, I've lost count of how many I've had so far. The mechanic discovered that the foot brake wasn't as responsive as it should be and recommended changing the brake fluid. That's reasonable, it's been a while since the brakes were checked.

And he claims it will all be finished by 17:00 today.

@SatyrService I rarely have more than one these days, especially when it's something like an IPA which is usually quite a bit stronger than most English beers.

@ninalanyon you know having a beer is good but having beers is better.

@SatyrService They vary. Traditional mild or bitter might be 3.5%, IPA typically 4.5% or more (should really be much stronger to qualify as IPA), lagers between 4% and 6%, barley wine and royal stout 9% and often more, etc.

The flavours of English (British really) beers are often stronger than in the US.

@ninalanyon I have heard British Beer is stronger than American Beer which is usually a 5 to eight percent alcohol.
