GOTH PALE - WORLD GOTH DAY ALE

THIS ALE WAS BREWED TO COMMEMORATE ANNUAL WORLD GOTH DAY,  WHICH FALLS ON THE 22ND MAY.

WE CALLED OUR DOG 'SIOUXSIE', WHEN WE TOOK HER HOME FROM THE DOGS TRUST (RATHER THAN KEEP THE NAME FLORENCE THEY'D GIVEN). I THINK IT'S FAIR TO ASSUME THIS HOUSEHOLD IS A FAN OF GOTH MUSIC!
