Marstons on the telly

Channel Five have recently shown a three part series on national brewery and pub company Marstons. I doesn't seem to have gone down well with my fellow beer nerds, but there was no way I was missing it as my mate Phil was in the trailer.

I can see why people weren't keen, as rather than having it as a straight documentary they got a comedian to narrate which did grate a bit. There was a lot of interesting stuff though, and I have to say I enjoyed watching it.

It was nice to see Phil at work too, and even though it makes him more famous than me I'm sure my fame has risen by being a friend of his.
