Paul on Paul action
A pair of Pauls visited us at lunchtime today: Paul Halsey, MD of Purity Brewing and Paul Walker, Head of National Sales for Adnams. The two breweries have entered into a distribution agreement. We've got Purity's Mad Goose on as a regular ale (I reviewed it here soon after tapping our very first cask). They tucked into the Goose while yamming down our most man-friendly fodder - Sebastien's rump steak in ciabatta with peppercorn mayo, rocket and French fries. It was a pretty happy scene. That's just how we roll here at The Gunmakers, innit.

Your infuriating RSS settings which don't give you the full post had that as "... while yamming down our most man-friendly fodder - Sebastien's rump".
That's my puerile giggle for the day. Cheers!
I wonder if you actually speak like you write or is it an affectation that overcomes you every time you enter the environs of the M25.
I haven't heard that sort of mid-Atlantic guff in years.
What The Beer Nut says - I do wish the RSS yielded the whole post to Google Reader. Harumph.
Sorry, I'm a full paid up member of the Human Race (Normal Division), so I have no fucking idea what "RSS" is. I write a blog - is that not techie enough?
I see Peter in the mirror reflection. Say hi for me.
In humanspeak, you want to log in to Blogger, hit the "Settings" tab and set the first option ("Allow Blog Feeds") to "Full".
Hey presto: happy punters.
don't think there is such a verb as 'yam' - isn't it actually 'nyam'? Caribbean patois for 'to eat'...
and finally, what has the Mad Goose replaced as a regular?
Beer Nut, I don't think most people know or care what RSS is, so I doubt it's worth even a few clicks of the mouse! Most people use the internet, but most people aren't particularly interested in the finer points of it. I write a blog and yet I hate computers with an absolute passion...
So, just me and scissorkicks would Jeff's feed settings adjusted? Anyone else?
yeah, i'd like it changed too.
RSS feeds are very useful - otherwise you actually have to visit each site to see if it's been updated or not.
Please change the RSS settings.
Geoff, any chance in changing the RSS settings please.
Jeff, change your fuckin RSS settings
Jeff, we need the rss settings fixed.
Please change the RSS settings, Jeff!
Ehhh, Knut? You looked at your own RSS settings recently?
Yes please change the RSS
Jeff - I was going to respond to your response to The Beer Nut by asking you to STFU. However, that is so 2009. Perhaps you will better relate to this.

What is RSS? In one sentence, without subclauses please.
It automatically sends you new entries on all the blogs you follow without you having to go check if they've been updated.
WTF am i doing on here, my RSS feed led me to believe that a couple of Twinks were getting it on.
Bad news old bean.
Tandleman has moved up two places at your expense in October's Wikio Blog Rankings according to his latest blog.
Pull your finger out man - all this getting fit and losing weight malarkey is playing havoc with your reputation.
The Wikio rankings are all about how much you're linked to by other blogs, not how many people read your site. Because I write less about beer these days, I'm linked to far less by the beer bloggers. So it stands to reason that I'd drop in those rankings. But I'm more concerned with readership numbers because (a) I'm keen to promote my business and (b) I'm incredibly vain.
Having said that, it's true that I've spent less time blogging recently. I trust what I do produce is still worth reading for the majority who visit here, if not the ale anoraks.
I'm off for a run.
Got heckled by German students on the Embankment during run. They shouted "schnell, schnell, schnell". I felt a sudden desire to possess fake papers and a stolen uniform.
What they were actually yelling was "Change your RSS settings!" in German. Probably.
Jeff, does the following interest you?
Opportunity to take the company forward and build a strong business in the cask ale market. We have built a reputation for the supply of excellent real ales.Investment is needed to promote cask ales and realise the potential in bottled ales.
We are a micro-brewery supplying the free trade sector with cask ales. Trading for three years it supplies over 200 pubs and wholesalers throughout the UK.
The company is going into administration and needs an investor to buy the assets currently worth around £15K. This would buy them a company with a well branded image and an excellent reputation for the supply real ales.
Products currently supplied are three core ales and one or two changing monthly ales. Future growth predictions in cask ales are a turnover of 120k / year with a gross profit of 28%. Further investment in cask ales would be able to double the turnover and return a net profit of approximately 10%. Investment in bottled ales to develop a product range would tap into the growing take home trade.
Thank you for reading this, it may sound desperate but there could be a future for this company with the right investment and enjoyment in brewing and supply of a hand crafted product.
