If you go top to bottom trying each of the theme beers and make it as far as Wear Valley's magical brew, Excalibur, you are truly King of the beer. We're Knights of the Round Table, we dance when ere we're able, We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impeccable. We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
