Bugger, misnumbered the cans (I'm sure you can crack the code, though). I had been pretty sure I wouldn't reach 50 cans before the end of the year, but after this trip it might just be possible if I really put the effort in. Trouble is cans mainly come in multipacks, which often puts me off. Bottles are pretty much in the bag, but I doubt I'll manage another 20 no/lo beers in the next four weeks. |

Latest update: 118. North "Light User Syndrome" American Brown Ale - 6.0% 119. Utopian "Munich Dunkel Lager" Munich Dunkel Lager - 5.2% 120. Ad Astra "American Pale Ale" - 4.7% 121. Amundsen "Hobliminal Messages" New England IPA - 5.3% 122. Siren "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere" Session IPA - 4.2% 123. Büro "Dry-Hopped Kölsch" Kölsch - 4.7% 124. Garden X Varvar "Imperial Coffee, Caramel & Vanilla Stout" Imperial Stout - 7.2% 125. To Øl "Cyllene" Session Porter - 4.5% All pretty ordinary, TBH. I'd say the stout was the pick of the bunch. |

Cans 41. (can) Heverlee Belgian Lager (4.8%). They're very coy about it on the website, but I'm sure this is *another* product of the huge Stella Artois (InBev) factory in Leuven. Bottles 49. (bottle) St Austell Mena Dhu (4.5%). Lovely bottle-conditioned stout. 50. (bottle) St Ives Porth Pilsner (4.4%). Blech. Fantastic production values on the bottle, but I did not like the beer - didn't taste much like a pilsner, either. That's 50 bottles reached, so I'll stop counting now. There's another couple of beers in the fridge, I was tempted to pretend one of those was my 50th but we'll let that one stand. |

Heverlee is some nonsense product. I got taken in during summer, I thought what's that, should know better. I am still counting and will stick a finished list up very near of just after New Year. I think I might do it all again next year! |

I had a pint of Adnams 'Jolly' Old the other night. Now I am very familiar with Adnams Old (the pump clip has a fisherman on it) but the 'Jolly' Old has the same fisherman in a kind of Christmas jumper. I think the beer itself has been tampered with and not necessarily in a good way.

No/Lo 31. (bottle) Days Pale Ale (0.0%). Forgot to include this one after the weekend. Very unconvincing attempt at 'beer', I shan't be getting this one again. And last night was the work Christmas party- Cans 42. (can) Bristol Beer Factory Fortitude (4.0%). 43. (can) Bristol Beer Factory Party Wave (5.0%). All a bit 'craft ale', but that seems fair for a craft ale brewery. I did enjoy this one. 44. (can) Bristol Beer Factory Infinity (4.6%). Their lager. |

Only one to add. I had hoped a weekend in Chertsey would yield some new beers but all Landlord, Tribute, and Doombar. Now I don’t mind Landlord and Tribute but they do seem to be everywhere at the moment. 115 Much Hadham Brewery Oddy. A light ish coloured bitter very good indeed. |

BaronessBL I can’t see anything on Adnams website about Jolly old. So I suspect it is a seasonal update of the Old pump clips. I hope they haven’t mucked around with it as I like Old
