Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. 75cl bottle, hazy purple body, wispy off-white head. Sour plums with a vinegar red wine leaning, tart and a proper 'sour puss'. The other four guys love this sort of thing, I'm not so impressed.
