Here's one for the beer obsessives out there.  On Saturday night we went to a stand up comedy show at our local brewery.  I took this picture :

You can just make out MT on the far tank, which I'm guessing is Mash Tun.  What about the others?  Why "Copper"?

Maybe it's copper-lined?  Or maybe it's just to indicate that this is where the boiling happens.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing#Brew_kettle_or_copper

Thanks JFKimberley, that solved that mystery.  I'm sure unclear about the tiny tank with UB or something on it.   And I got to read about Splarging again.

There was only one guy around who knew anything about the beer making, and I kept asking him for more beer.

My OH has such a tough life.

Today he is off to Manchester to meet...erm... I dunno.  Some guy from the German prog band Can.  After that, he and his pal are off to Huddersfield for a few days.  One of the best towns in the UK for beer.  And he will  undoubtedly be texting me pics of all the pump clips, just to make me jealous.

I was gutted as I have the stag do this weekend in Edinburgh and keep seeing adverts for Edinburgh craft beer festival but it's not until the end-part of this month! I kept seeing pictures of loads of beautiful glasses filled with beautiful and tasty looking beers hah Extra pain because it's the Reading Beer Festival this weekend and I can't go to it this year because of this stag do! (and the people we go with typically are on this stag do lol)

I want his life.  I've never been to multi day beer festival, I'd probably be embarrassed to have that much.  I did hang out with a dude in a old prog band  Durrati Column or something like that.

Can you take my kid with you and swing by the zoo to see the pandas?   ;D

The hits from this stag do keep on going.  No Edinburgh beer fest, no Reading beer fest, no Cinco de Mayo.   ::)  Are you sure you like this guy?  Is he worth it?   ;)
