57.5 Degrees of Pain Jun 2021 3:56pm, 5 Jun 2021 7,315 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Spent many happy evenings in the Greyhound in the 1990s, including the night before I emigrated in 1999. Friends live nearby, they still do but I've only made it back to Suffolk twice in the 12 years that I've been back in the UK.

BaronessBL Jul 2021 11:02pm, 31 Jul 2021 8,962 posts	0 BaronessBL I've been to a beer festival today. Can't remember the last beer festival I went to - obviously whenever it was was before March 2020 but I'm guessing my last festival before then might have been back end of 2019. Lots of local-ish breweries but found a couple I hadn't had before. Milestone Imperial was one which was OK but there was one from Leigh on Sea that was my favourite - Cockle Row Spit at 5.6%, an American style IPA which I wouldn't normally have gone for but I am glad I tried a half!
