I thought this was our one chance at a relationship beyond our middle class heritage and senior places in the world.

"Ahab" by Up Front Brewing, who are one of a couple of seen who brew using Drygate's gear rather than actually having their own brewery.
And it's delicious. Malty, stouty thing.
I got some Appleton Estate Reserve for £17 off Amazon, it's bloody lovely with a mixer and lime. Not tried it on the rocks yet.
Back on the Merlot. Pass me the cheeseboard and my piss flaps may develop.
I found a new beer shop nearby so picked up a few items. Currently on something from King Of Hops which os ok. Nowt special
@Kiko owt?
ELB 'Barbed wit' which is an 'organic rhubarb wheat beer', which I basically only bought because it sounds bonkers but it's actually quite nice. Hoppy and the fruit taste isn't too powerful. Dece.
I don't normally like rhubarb but I can imagine if it was subtle in a wheat bier it'd be pretty swish.
Dry January got 9/11'd this weekend. I feel truly garbage.
Got some Elderflower Edinburgh Gin to drink with lemonade.
Sounds rank.
I really like Elderflower in general so not really.
Fuck off hot this arvo so I rehydrated with my mate War Hog so I'm swirling in happiness.
I will beer swap someone to spread the love of this necter?
I've not drank any of the Dundee gin yet. @Magic
Some Scottish beer called "Heavy" by a brewery I've never head of. It's not like an actual heavy, I don't think, but it's rather tasty.
Saturday night I had two slightly-bigger-than-pint bottles of lager, a small snifter of rye whisky and a little glass of aldi baileys. Not that drunk but I had the most persistent hangover yesterday.
Bird I'm seeing has gotten some dirty £3 red wine from aldi for tonight. Rather enjoying it tbh.
Just tried a bottle of "Glug M'Glug" and it's fucking vile.
Also saw a bottle of that Guinness rye one I think Giggles mentioned/ slated. Didn't pick one up but I probably will at some point.
Hoopers Alcoholic Dandelion and Burdock. I'm this close to making love to the bottle.
Unless it tastes completely different from non alcoholic dandelion and burdock they you are very very wrong.
It tastes pretty mich the same.
Bee Line by Fallen Brewing and Dead End Brew Machine is more like it than that bottle of shite I had first. Describes itself as a "Pear, guava and honey saison." I like a saison at the best of times but this is fucking delicious.
I think it's lesser so. Which is a good thing.Originally Posted by Spikey M

Alcoholic root beer is the one.
Unfortunately I had a bottle once so now I have no teeth left.
I'm a twit
Indian Pale Lager is now my favourite beer.
I was drinking some Scottish lager at the weekend. Name escapes me but it wasn't bad.
EDIT - Three hop?
Please ignore the horrific label.
Yeah, brewed by Caledonian. It's serviceable.
That's the one, I had a couple after I got too full up of Guinness and it was easy drinking. They had Belhaven on tap too but I think I'd tasted that before the time I was in Oxford and it was piss.
I discovered tonight that Brewdog have a 110ml bottle called "Hop Shot." A 'quadruple IPA', at 22%.
Of course I bought it. And because I make awful decisions I am, of course, drinking it on a school night.
You'll be able to run the car on your piss tomorrow.
I don't have a car but maybe I'll be able to earn a few bob at the petrol station on my lunch break.
It's weird actually, When you first have a sip it's fine, then it really briefly hits you in the mouth like you'd expect at that percentage, and then it kind of mellows out (using the term loosely) again. I'll not be ever going back for more but I'm not unhappy to have tried it.
My mate has a bottle of Tactical Nuclear Penguin from them which is 32%
Fucking love gin.
I can't remember whether I managed to try that somewhere or not. At what point does it stop being technically a beer?My mate has a bottle of Tactical Nuclear Penguin from them which is 32%
Hot toddy. Great combinations.
New England IPA by Brewdog / Cloudwater. The guy in Good Spirits Co. sold it to me even though they were supposedly forbidden from doing so prior to 6pm.
It's fucking delicious anyway, that's what matters.
Got a Wold Top Marmalade Porter to come.
Fosters. Got 8 for £2.50 due to new idiot cashier at corner shop, bless her.
Not got onto the Marmalade Porter yet, that'll be finishing the night, but I have just tried a Swedish beer by a brewery called Beerbliotek (I see what they did there) and it's a "Mocha Latte Stout." And bloody wonderful.
Had some Stella for the first time in ages last night. Dreadful stuff.
Just ordered 70CL Ciroc and 70CL Tanqy No.10 for a combined total of £46 delivered.
Got a bottle of this the other day, after it came back in stock: https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/...-pineapple-rum - really nice but pretty fucking strong
Harp. Pints of proper Northy gut rot Harp. How I've missed it
Found a new bottle shop near us. Doesn't have a huge range but they had some Hilden ones I've not had before as well as a stout by Galway Bay that I'll be having later.
They also seem to have fucked their prices on Dark Island Reserve because I got a 75cl bottle for £11 which is significantly cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else. Lovely stuff.
The hotel I was in last night had their own lager, red, and IPA on draught. The lager wasn't bad at all.
Just having the Galway Bay "Buried at Sea" milk stout. it's livelier than I'd like in a stout but at 4.5% it's eminently guzzleable.
That's pretty nice stuff. Got it a few times up the road.
I had 7 pints of Fosters at the weekend. Absolutely vile stuff only done so as a 10 man kitty was in progress for ease of ordering drinks.
Also tried Rock Rose last night which was lovely and some straight Belvedere. Dece.
This shop we found had one or two others by them too. Is there range good or is that the only one you've had?
@Giggles
I've had the Full Sail which I loved and the Altea, not so much.
Has anyone tried Dark Matter rum?
