iki beer – the ikipedia
June 5th, 2008 · 4 Comments · beer, gardening, marketing
We’ve been selling quite a bit of iki beer just lately, what with the sporadic sunshine and everything. This is a distinctively different, not to mention stylish way to refresh and reward yourself after a hard day’s whatever, and of course it’s a little more expensive than some other yellow beers.

Please don’t think for a minute that I shall ever carry out my threat to open that soul food restaurant. Not because squirrel brains are unsafe.

February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · England, beer, gardening
Nothing to do with wine, except inasmuch as wine is a fair paradigm for many another human enthusiasm. I’m very excited to be returning from Suffolk today with a couple of plants of Pelargonium sidoides from Woottens of Wenhaston in my hand luggage. Assuming they’re not adjudged to be offensive weapons, I look forward to [...]
