There's something mystical about the regional variations of beer. You walk into a pub far from home, and you're presented with something that's as unique as it is tasty. It might be a special mix, it might be in a special glass... maybe you have to kiss a fish before being allowed to drink (CC. Angela Barnes).

It's a typical evening at The Moon Under Water; Landlord John is polishing the brasses with delight, Robin is sipping on a pint of Magic and the pictures on the walls are flickering between photographs of pubs and paintings of crisps.
