i does not seen appropriate after the last blog on levi that i write this…….but

a few people have asked what has happened to big al a.k.a diamond geeza as i have been taking over his spot for a while ,Marion his wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer and he has been involved with the swift recovery of her health ,after talking to her on friday she seems to be the same marion we know and love

they are just not know for there knowledge  and love  of real ale locally they are world travelers  in searching out the best beers thats why alan is my brewery liaison officer,  all the best from everybody in the trade and camra we wish you a speedy recovery

even through alans tough  times he  still had time for  my friday night reports  so he would have the latest information  at hand

regards  john

this weekend i have been working on the recipe im looking for a dark full bodied beer the way we remember him ,hops bodasia (a hop i have not used before ) so my customers will be in for a treat as i don’t make dark beers apart from val (addiction) .

i also have been working with my web site master to get the perfect song and vidios to remember him by the video in the wheel chair in his last days says it all (we lost a monster of a big man a great friend of mine the same way r.i.p peter crangle the leeds united psychopath) .

why do we go through life to end up like this ?his is not a practice run (this is it) hope i go out with the pride and respect you had in your last days
