Lots of dogs last week.
At all hours of the day and night.
Every day.
Yep, we are now offering a Doggy Day Camp with optional overnight stays.
Competitive rates.
We guarantee that your four-footed loved one will be a happy camper.
Mister Bagel was not a happy camper.
Not in the least bit gruntled.
So much for doing the cask rounds last week.
This week looking busy as well, but I have a couple of tastings lined up.
At City Swiggers and Brouwerij Lane.
And of course, I may sneak a visit to JWF.
Before they forget who I am.
Cask who?
Scorecard w/e 04/28/26
In the past week the Cask Whisperer has enjoyed absolutely no cask ales; hoping for a better score this week.
