What the inlaws gave me for Christmas

Just one of each...or a case of each?

Looks like quite the sampler!

Sadly, just one of each , all ales from the homeland which I am really enjoying.

bummer....enjoy them though!

I can see this is really too much for you to handle so as a special favour to you I will take that Hobgoblin off your hands. It hasn't been the same since Lions Brewery took them over anyways.

Ah Greg, if only I had read this before NYE! This particular beer has now been consumed. Incidentally this brew comes from the Wychwood Brewery in Oxfordshire, England. Perhaps you are thinking of another beer of the same name? BTW it was a very nice beer

I know. I have been drinking it for over 20 years. Probably my second favourite brew (After Chimay Blue)
The last time I was at the brewery in Wychwood; OK the only time; I was told by the staff that they had just been taken over by Lions (Or was it Lyons?) They were really worried that they would be forced to produce to a price rather than a quality. I have noticed a slight drop, but to make up for that availability here has improved dramatically. I have even seen cans of the stuff lately. Shock. Horror. I have a few but haven't tried them yet.

May have to do some research.....a very quick google reveals that Wychwood brewery is now under the banner of Marstons.

I should have said that was about 10 years ago. Not long after 9/11. I also went to Turkey & the place was deserted. We were almost the only tourists.
