In the early '90s gameshow The Crystal Maze groups of depressingly keen outdoorsy types sprinted round an Essex aircraft hangar converted into a pastiche of various time periods - Aztec, Medieval, Futuristic etc - tryingto complete tasks in an attempt to win a pony-trekking holiday in Ullswater, or something else similarly dispiriting.
In today's Birmingham Post (although not as yet on the website), came the news that international brewing conglomerate SABMiller was set to buy Dutch lager brewers Grolsch in a £580 million deal.
The world of international finance isn't really the remit of a writer looking at great pints of ale in Birmingham boozers, you might think. But the increasing conglomeration of beer companies across the globe is an ongoing issue that affects every brewer and drinker.
I was pointed towards this small but multi-award winning pub by a reader (thanks Tony) who told me no pub search of Birmingham would be complete without a quick visit. But I've got to say I had a serious problem with this place.
