Any way, lets keep our fingers crossed the sun will come back out, beer, food and sunshine - I can't think of a better weekend recipe!

The jaunty Brazilian National Anthem……

Broken metatarsals……

Germany losing to the Aussies in their first match……

Germany still managing to reach the semi-finals….

The silky handling skills of Thierry Henry…..

And ENGLAND……..!

What better way to prepare for those celebrations than brew a special footy ale, and by the way Banks's Lions Roar has being flying out the brewery gates it's a real cert to score.

Brewed to a quaffable 3.8% Banks's Lions Roar has a solid backline, comprising a sturdy blend of Pale, Crystal & Amber malts; A rugged, yet creative midfield combo - Goldings, Challenger & Target hops; And a spiky strike force of Styrians, Cascade & Galena to give a potent hop attack, with a devastating finish.  Back of the net!!!

BANKS'S LION'S ROAR

A Strong and Stable coalition of flavours.

Brewed in the National Interest.

It's certainly been a hectic start to 2010 for me and my team. Sales of cask ales continue to grow so it's important that we keep up with demand to keep our drinkers happy!

It's been great to help set up the new Brewery Tour as well. I've felt a bit like Willy Wonka opening this famous old brewery to the public! Luckily tickets are a bit easier to come by though!

It would be great if as many of you as possible get to visit us and see the magic of brewing for yourself. And please let us know your comments, we're always interested to hear what you think.

Cheers - until next time!
