Beer and books....though not always at the same time. It's all about the Sorachi.

We're in Clitheroe. Sadly Bowland Beer foodhall was shut as was chasing some Baron Bigod. Had to make do with this from Booth's. π€£Also bought some garlic Yarg and Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire from there so not too disappointed. π
