If music be the food of love....

.... what are you going to drink?

OK, I know it is a tenuous link, but surely beer has a role to play in all the lovey-doveyness of Valentine's Day? Even if it just to drop subtle hints to your other half, or maybe the perfect gesture of love to the man who has everything?

Did you know that the word 'bridal' comes from the term 'bride ale''? When a lady was getting married in the olden days (i.e. pre super cold lager) she would make beer to sell to raise funds for the wedding! Most brewers were women (called brewsters) because beer was viewed as requiring cooking, hence the nickname 'liquid bread'. Anyway, with this being a LEAP YEAR ladies everywhere will be preparing to drop to their knee and utter the magic words.... cellarman has an offer on!

Oh yes, from now until 14 February 2008 we are offering half price delivery on a cask of LARGE ONE from the Keystone Brewery. That is a saving of £2.50! Just enter the code LOVE08 when checking out.

Remember we despatch fresh from the breweries on Mondays and Wednesdays so plan your purchases well. If you want beer for Valentine's Day, order by Sunday 10th February at the latest.
