Quite a nice little place. Mexican, good stuff, decent heat in the Habanero sauce, nice but a little bit stressed out staff.

Beer recommendation of the summer

Beer recommendation of the summer
Originally uploaded by Manne.

Normally I can not stand fruit based beer, but recently Ing brought a strawberry variety home from Sainsburys that was fantastic. Sainsburys, of all places.

Checking the label you find out that it is brewed by Meantime though, a local micro brewery in Greenwich (of course). Have to go check them out some day, I have tried two other (proper) beers from them to and they were also really nice.

Had the summer not been so crap, this would have been a brilliant picnic beer and the recommendation of the year.
