Please forgive a frivolous topic, but I recently popped down my local Wetherspoons and found this Real Ale. I just had to share it with you chaps. It wasn't bad either!

If you look up cotleighbrewery.com you can read the reason why the ale is called Commando.

Don't want to rub it in or anything, but its rather tasty, especially out of its unique pint glass- £10.00 per gift pack from the brewery!!
Might just be the 'wet' of choice in my bar.....
