This is a bit of a wheeze and I'll try not to do it next year, but Fuller's Vintage Ale 2018, which was very nice. Georgina Squiggle [1], the new-ish head brewer, seems to be pretty good.

[1] Young, actually, but it says Georgina Squiggle on the bottles, which I suppose is consistent with how the old head brewer was John Squiggle.

I also had a rainbow bagel too :) Also vegan Ben & Jerry's, pulled jackfruit, and mate Fritz fizzy pop.

Your ice cream list makes me want to assemble a cut up found poem from it :)

Goats' cheese + honey Flammkuchen. Oven-ready vegan pizza from an actual supermarket. Apple, mint + chilli sauce.

More weird beers from Flavourly than I can shake a stick at.
