Kew on Newsnight – Obama’s first 100 days: Environment
Always nice to see Kew being featured on high profile programmes like newsnight, and especially on such a prominent news story (overly so if you ask me, but that’s not important here!).
I particularly like the montage of a giant George Bush in the temperate House….

Cheering on Sharon Laws at the Olympics
A short while ago I discovered that a former colleague, friend and fellow cyclist Sharon Laws is going to be riding for Great Britain in the women’s road race at the Beijing Olympics. Wow, bloody amazing! So, this is just to say….
GO SHARON!

Sharon also did the video feature for the BBC about the road race (during which she broke her leg!):

Youngs “Kew Gold”
What could possibly be described using the following:
- retro touch
- aroma of wet corn
- some fruit and hint of cardboard
- proper nettley green hop aroma
- Mellow wine gum citrus
- buttery dunked Malted Milk
- a hint of sting
- Some cereal on the nose
- a deep, irn-bruey gold
- biscuit malts, citrus and yeast
- resinous lemon towards the finish
Well, it could only be Youngs Kew Gold, the new beer to replace the much missed Kew Brew.
I had my first bottle of it in the Coach & Horses on Kew Green last week, and I must say it was quite pleasant drinking – certainly a good beer for a warm summers’ evening (which unfortunately it wasn’t at the time!).
