Sadly George was later eaten by a crocodile in Africa, but the brewery has gone on to become one of the UK's most popular real ale brands and Southwold's biggest employer. We loved it!

Bike theft here is so rare that bikes were left unattended all over the town. That made a rather pleasant change from the thieving scumbag-lined streets of London where you have to carry around half a hundredweight of titanium clad locks for your bike.
