I have found one good micro brewery in Costa Rica. The Costa Rica Craft Brewing Company. They produce a Red Ale called La Segua that is very much like a British full bodied bottled beer like Spitfire or some of the Badger ales. This seems to be the only micro brewery in Costa Rica and I've only found the beer at one of the many restaurants we've been to in the last 3 weeks. But it is a good bottled beer, so if you head down this way it is one to search out:
HA! You are correct about the beer. I try to drink Guinness Stout as much as possible or at least a decent American Black and Tan. I am partial to dark Irish or German beers. If it was me down there, I'd be taste testing all the good Caribbean rums. Have a safe trip home.

Well we're heading back to Wales in a couple of days. So I'm just making the most of the sunshine and warm sea. But going home won't be so bad. It will be good to play music with my friends, walk on those Welsh hills, and, of course, be back in a country that has proper beer! What on earth do you do to the stuff on this side of the Altantic - you have no idea at all about brewing with hops and barley
The tune is Bwlch Llanberis, it is a local tune from where I live. I was just noodling around it so the part B I play in the video varies from the original tune (I forgot it!!!!). Here is a link to the tune:
I don't have the TAB for the tune. You can play it in the key of D (like in the link above) from DAA tuning starting at fret 3. Or if you generally tune to DAd then you can drop the middle string a tone to G (DGd) and play exactly the same fingering but in the key of G. I'm playing in G on the video.
If I get the chance I'll write out the fret numbers for you (I don't have a TAB programme).

Nice Robin. I'll bet the scenery and the weather are hard to take.....

Lovely tune in a idyllic setting, Robin. Just something about music played in the out-of-doors. . .
(Although I played music outside on the last day of '10-- it was an unseasonably warm day-- I yearn to do so again. I love playing outside.)
