This is probably Britain's most-read blog about beer and pubs (although I do stray off-topic sometimes, and beer geeks seem to hate me). I started writing it in January 2007. Back then I was a lawyer working in the City of London. In April 2009 I became the landlord of The Gunmakers Arms in Clerkenwell, a wonderful little pub in my favourite part of London.

Keith Floyd was a boozy, foodie legend. It's sad to hear he's done for. He was always on the telly when I was a nipper. Last night I caned the lion's share of a surprisingly good bottle of Shiraz from Marks and Sparks in the old boy's honour.
Keith's last meal. I love the attention to detail about the grouse.
Keith Floyd died from a heart attack after dining on champagne, oysters and partridge at a 65th birthday lunch for his partner.
The TV chef, as famous for his love of wine as his cooking, fell ill last night as he and Celia Martin waited to watch a Channel 4 documentary about his life.
Earlier the paid had a £120 meal for two at the Hix Oyster and Fish House in Lyme Regis, run by fellow ceelbrity chef Mark Hix.
Floyd had a “Hix Fix” champagne cocktail with a cherry soaked in apple eau de vie, oysters with potted shrimp, partridge with bread sauce - he ordered grouse but was served partidge by mistake - and perry jelly for dessert. He drank a glass of £49-a-bottle Pouilly Vinzelles 2006 Burgundy and a two glasses of Nature Perrin and Fils Cotes de Rhone 2007 red.

Hear hear, what a legend.
He'd have been damned pleased about that.
