The barman is portly with a moustache waxed into points. 'It's very hoppy', he says of my choice of ale. 'There's quite a strong metallic taste to it'. He gives me a small glass to try. 'I recommend it in a ginger beer shandy', he says, 'takes the edge off'. I accept his suggestion and ask for his middle name. He gives it to me. I thank him.
My next pint is Guinness.
