This is a booklet designed to accompany the Bridge lessons held at the Barrels Ale House in Berwick-upon-Tweed, UK. The 9 chapters outline a bidding and playing system based upon 'Benji-Acol', with some 'Barrels-Blitz' variations, inspired by real ale and single malts Improvers wishing to understand and enjoy something more of the nuances of the Bridge game will find this system both accessible and engaging.We think that this booklet will introduce and enhance the 'fun' aspect available for those playing contract Bridge socially.
