Advantages: Tasty, light and fresh. A really good balanced beer. Disadvantages: A little more expensive than some beers.
We went out for lunch with my mum and dad on Tuesday to the Wellington Hotel in New Whittington (near Chesterfield). Our lunch was excellent and so was the beer. The Wellie has a choice of up to three Cask Ales and we tried two each ~ Alun had St. Austell Tribute and Jennings Snecklifter and I had Snecklifter and Tribute. My dad tried the Camerons Strongarm and even my lager drinking mother had a half of the Tribute. I?ve already reviewed Snecklifter and Strongarm, so I will now tell you about St. Austell Tribute!
~~~THE BREWERY.
The St. Austell Brewery Company Limited started back in 1851 ~ funnily enough in St. Austell in Cornwall. It was founded by Walter Hicks a farmer who mortgaged his farm to fund his new business.

Advantages: A great tribute. Stellar line-up. Benefits a worthy cause. Disadvantages: Some of the fashons are now very dated!
These two DVDs comprise a tribute to Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after succumbing to AIDS. All the artists involved gave their time for free - and those included reads like a Who's Who of British rock music, in addition to artists from overseas such as Metallica and Liza Minelli.
There is an array of "extras" on the 2 DVDs, including rehearsal footage for each act (press enter when you see the "i" box at the corner of your screen), a documentary on the great Freddie Mercury and press photos from the event itself.
---Why should I bother listening to something that is over 10 years old?----
Because Queen were a seminal rock group; because buying the video will help AIDS charities fight the disease; because it is a moving and uplifting event; because the atmosphere is captured brilliantly in the film; because it contains ...
Advantages: Fantastic pint! Disadvantages: Not all that easy to find
About a year ago, I had to attend a meeting after a long, hard day at the office.
When I realised that the meeting was taking place in a pub, there was food providedand that the organiser (thanks Kevin, I owe you one,mate!) had left his corporate debit card details behind the bar, I realised that things were looking up.
Especially when the guest real ale at the pub was Tribute. Ah! What a wonderful meeting it was. In more ways than one.
As a beer drinker that has a hankering after a good IPA, (India Pale Ale) the first thing I noticed about Tribute was that it has a nice, light colour. Amber? Yes, but it did verge on looking rather like an IPA.
The taste? How did it compare to an IPA? Very well, in fact. It has a rather nice smell to it, which was suprisingly fruity. Would this fruityness be reflected in the taste? I'll say ...
