Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
- Alfred Lord Tennyson

In Spring, a young man's thoughts softly turn to ...
A proper ale. Wells Bombadier, recommended for those who are not satisfied by Miller Light.
That stuff knocks Boddies into a cocked hat....now Greene King Abbot Ale... a true competitor to Charlie Wells' best. Dad and I would pick the Fox because it was only a quarter mile up the road. It had Charles Wells ales, but of a summer evening we'd walk the 2.5 miles to Odell for Greene King IPA or Abbot because...well because beer.

What? No link to "Shropshire Lad #62"?
A good choice ..... maybe try a Boddington's Pub Ale if you can find it. Creamy smooth.

I have been enjoying Yards Brewing Co.'s Jefferson's Tavern Ale recently. It's reputed to be based on Jefferson's own recipe.
Tröeg's Brewing, out of Hershey, has a couple of really nice ales.
This is quite a nice beer; I always have it with fish and chips on a friday night.
