The beer cupboard runneth o’er…

Right then, here's the state-of-play vis-a-vis beer stocks, as at yesterday evening:

DT's beer cupboard, August '08

Up at the front there you can see the Crazy Dog Stout that I went back to Sainsbury's for, as well as a bottle of Cairngorm Trade Winds that I picked up in lieu of the Copper Dragon 1816, which my local branch still doesn't have in stock just yet.

And I grabbed what turned out to be an extra bottle of Highgate Old Ale, because the sneaky so-and-so's have changed the label since I bought one on the way down to Bridgnorth last weekend and I couldn't quite remember if it was the same brewery... at least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Let's hope I like that one.

There's a prize for the first person to correctly identify more than 90% of the bottles in the pic. I'll send you that vaguely juke-box shaped tin lurking waaaay at the back, which if memory serves is one of those Xmas novelties containing a miniature of Smirnoff and a couple of shot glasses. Yes, I know. I really need to tidy the crap out of the back of my beer cupboard...
