German was on hand from Vancouver to help in making an important decision. What beer was going forward in the Golden Ale category for Beer of the Summer 2008?
First order was to see how the Darkstar Sunburst did against the award winning Hopback Summer Lightning.
And the result was that in a nudge and a wink, Sunnurst took it and is the victor. Impressive considering the competition.
In celebration we ended up at the Evening Star in Brighton, East Sussex which describes itself as:
The Theme pub, where great beer is the theme
We tried various other beers but it was getting hazy at this point, one that stood out was the Rye Pale Ale from the Terrapin Beer Co, Athens Georgia.

Lost some comments recently as part of the overhaul. One reader asked if there way any where in the UK to purchase Terrapin.
I’ve been looking for a while and have seen it in the Whitehorse, SW6 5AG and today found it on sale at Utobeer ( http://www.utobeer.co.uk/ ) in Borough Market.
