Parkes, Beth and I spent last weekend at my Dad and Liz's place in Ilkley, Yorkshire. We had a splendid time and were fed beautiful food and drink. My father has started brewing beer at home and I sampled his first real ale offering, entitled 'Red Eye'. It was a refreshing, light beer with a sweet taste and a sour finish. Magnificent!

    Er, the sour finish sounds a bit worrying. Unless of course he's skilled in the Flemish art of sour aging.

    Is Ilkley in North, or West Riding? It would settle a dispute to know.

    Hi E

    Ilkley is firmly in the West Riding and, yes I have a Diploma in Flemish Sour Aging!
    Kind regards
