Beer: The greatest invention of mankind?

"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." 
Dave Barry

Tonight we will conduct some serious research into this claim with these 2 excellent ales:




Skinners Best Bitter
ABV 3.6%
Skinner's New Year Golden Ale. Beautifully hoppy session ale with hints of citrus and bitter sweet malts.

Adnams Lighthouse
The recipe for Adnams Lighthouse is based on an award-winning beer that we used to call ‘Champion Pale Ale’. Lighthouse is a 3.4% abv beer, amber-coloured with a light fragrance, lovely malt flavours and long hoppy after-palate.
