It's official! the Holy Father approves!



Yes, Pope Benedict drinks Reverend James bitter! The above picture shows him when he was Cardinal Ratzinger (but a mole in the Vatican informs me that a draycart (beer delivery truck) makes a weekly call to the Vatican and drops off a keg of the ambrosial brew). So, now the Pope drinks Rev James bitter!

Now I can honestly* claim that the Holy Father and I share the same taste in good ale** -  Amazing.

  1. Richard,
    It's Official-Can you get me some? I have only four cans of Newcastle Brown Ale in stock at the moment! Greetings from one mighty thirsty Jarra Lad. However,I suppose it's better than Ringtons Tea!

    Cheers,


    Michael.

  3. Richard,
    That Rev Bitter must be very strong if you post that the pope drinks it! Were you in your "Sups" at time of posting? :)

  4. EFPE - sadly, no Father, at my age it is "sips"
    rather than "sups"

    Lena - Cheers, I appreciate your support.
