So according to the story, cops in Hampshire UK scambled a thermal imaging team, and still didn’t realized the tiger was a toy until the helecopter blew it over?

I’m just glad this snafu wasn’t in America, this time. It’s nice when our allies look as dumb as we do most of the time.

Samuel Smith Organics (via Wolfman-K)
I first saw these brews while perusing the awesome Beer/Pub photoblog Beer Lens.
I didn’t think they were available here in the states but my friend Ben came across them at Beers of the World and picked up a bottle of the Cherry, Raspberry and Strawberry for us to try. I happened to find the Cider at Nathanial Square Corner Store last week, so I tossed that into the mix, for our informal tasting last night.
Samuel Smith is known here in the states for having “classic” English Brews. Nut Brown, Taddy Porter, Oatmeal Stout, etc. But this is the first time I’ve run accross something new by the old brewery, at least on this side of the pond.
