And finally, having nothing to do with this post whatsoever but just because I like it, I give you Mr Bob Marley and an acoustic Redemption Song:

Weekend Beers for Heroes
Many thanks again to all who supported our quiz on Tuesday night, we raised £115 in aid of Help for Heroes. Since we opened we have donated over £250 to St John's Hospice from the collecting tin on the bar and have a full one to be emptied and counted. Thanks to our customers for your continued generosity.
Today we start the weekend with a little Hawkshead NZPA, Eden Gold, Bowness Bay Swan Black and Dark Star Partridge. We will also be joined by the new brew from Privateer Brewery, their Red Duke. Not the Thin White Duke, that was David Bowie.
Limbering up on the stillage is a limited edition from Kirkby Lonsdale, Doctor's Orders and Bob's White Lion.

The Beer, The Beer!
We have a wonderful selection of beers this weekend, including our first Geordie ale and a fantastic first from the Settle Brewing Company.
Joining us today is the Signal Light from Settle. Now I'm a lover of strong beers, but I have to say for a 3.4% this is a delicious light, fruity, thirst quencher of a beer. Trying it before it went on this morning I had to be very careful to only take a couple of mouthfuls and not go for the full pint. Well it was only 11 30am.
The new Spring from Marble is going down a storm, as every Marble beer does, and customers have been singing the praises of the Happy Valley Lazy Daze. What with Tyne Bank Monument Bitter all the way from Newcastle, and the last couple of pints of Quantum, it is a line up that would grace any bar in the country.
We maintain the standard with Titanic Plum Stout and another Marble, the fantastic Lagonda, limbering up to make an appearance soon.
Recently I finished off the weekend beer update with the wonderful Heaven from Talking Heads. This week I will scare you all with the possibility that there is no beer in heaven. Personally I don't believe that, which is why I have requested that I be buried with several bottles of Marble Decadence, just in case I have to bribe my way through the Pearly Gates. So, in the interests of balance, I give you a little polka called In Heaven There Is No Beer:

Beer Heaven
It's great being back on the road, even if only on light duties. Huge thanks to Mrs B and Mr B Senior for all their hard work during a really busy week.
Don't forget our presentation of the CAMRA Pub of the Year Award by Lunesdale CAMRA on Tuesday night (9th April), and our big patriotic quiz night on April 23rd in aid of Help for Heroes.
But more immediately we have to let you know what wonderful brews we are currently offering the discerning drinker. Here we go:
Bob's Brewing Co-Chardonnayle (not a lot, it's been very popular).
Kirkby Lonsdale-Old Tannery
Unsworth's Yard-Last Wolf
Nine Standards-Royal Standard
Deeply Vale-Still Walking.
There will be a couple of others joining us today, or tomorrow, but we will update the blog as that happens.
Last night there was an interesting debate in The Snug about religion, it was lively and passionate. My wish is that when the day comes I am buried with bottles of Marble Decadence in case I have to bribe St Peter at the Pearly Gates. But I hope that is a long, long way off yet.
In the meantime hope you enjoy a little Heaven on earth from Talking Heads:
