Spitfire

About a week ago my parents were over from Wisconsin visiting me here in London and one of the many pubs me and my pa frequented was the Rugby Tavern. Despite the fact that the Rugby is a mere 5 minute walk from where I live this was my first time at the pub. The Rugby is a Shepherd Neame Pub with Spitfire Ale being one of their signature brews.

I'm not a big fan of ales so I wasn't surprised that I didn't take too well to Spitfire. All the same, it had a nice smooth taste and seemed to be popular amongst the pub patrons as most of the people in the pub were walking around with Spitfires in tow. Spitfire also has an interesting history. Spitfire was first brewed to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 1990 and raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund.
