Look at the quality. It could only happen to such an outwardly flash cunt.
He was with his missus and said do you fancy some so I said okay then :cab: It's not something I actively try and do.
ANYWAY THE DRINK WAS NICE.

Did you neck it out the bottle or does your pocket watch have a receptacle function?
No, but it would never happen to me...or Igor, for example. Or Foe.Quote:

Casual Patron. What a baller.
Public transport? I don't commute with the peasants.Quote:

Tesco had a Hop House 13 lager on deal today so picked up a case of that. From Dublin, any good @Giggles?
That was Guinness' attempt at getting in on the whole craft revolution here. It's not bad, more like a session type, though it doesn't so that well as it's a bit strong for the Carlsberg/Heineken crew and the proper beardos won't touch it because it's 'macro'. I've got a few for around Christmas myself.Quote:

I have also been a bit unimpressed by Meantime's London Stout.
Meant to say that too, it's in nearly every pub around here now but I've rarely had a nice pint. Bottles are far nicer, near tastes like a completely different drink.Quote:

One of the lads in work called in on his way to the airport today (he's off for the week) and brought me a selection of Blacks and some Okocim Mocne :cool:
I find the Hop House very gassy.
Having a glass of https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tomahawk-Ma.../dp/B018M658CS that I picked up the other day. Dangerously nice.
I had an 8 year old whisky before and it was like drinking caustic soda that an elderly moose had pissed in.
Yeah normally I wouldn't recommend it but the maple disguises any crap in the whiskey. I've got a special reserve from tesco to have a drink of as well, quite liked the Aldi one recently as well.
If it's the same one I tasted from Aldi recently then it was very nice. I wouldn't know whiskey that well (only really like Jameson) but it was enjoyable.
This one? https://www.aldi.co.uk/p/3319/0
That's really nice actually.
Aldis booze is great. Picked up a bottle of bourbon from there yesterday and their Baron St Jean red wine is ridiculously good for the price.
It was Clontarf I think, so probably only sold here. I've seen that one though. The Burbon was nice with a drop of coke in it too, though that was a good while ago.Quote:

I'm currently sampling this Abelour 10 (as recommended). 50/50 mix with water. It's alright. I can't tell if I'm really enjoying it. I think perhaps I just don't really get on with whisky.
The O'Sheas range of beers is really nice. Fond of the stout.Quote:

The Kiwis brew them that will have you seeing double!
It's when you get an imperial stout that hides it's strength well that you're in serious trouble.
Ruby port tonight. Nice.
Sierra Nevada Narwhal. That's a serious imperial :drool:
Hard as fuck to get though.
EDIT: And seemingly gone expensive as fuck. I didn't even pay half that last time.

I've had a couple recently that became instant favourites and were imperial stouts.Alesmith's Speedway Stout - Vietnamese Coffee and a pint can by Evil Twin called Even More Jesus. Both were fucking heavenly.
Stouts are disgusting.
Just looking through the gift baskets on the new Martins website and I seen this. Fucking all over that next year.
Or buying it tomorrow and catching up.

Oh my word, they sell Wookey Jack. Thought you could only get that in USA. I loved that beer when in California. Been looking for it everywhere with no luck.Quote:

:D one of my earliest pub memories. Terrifying.
I had a solitary pint in Shilling recently. Seemed nice. Want to go back for pizza and beer one night.
Came into Brewdog to buy beery Christmas presents and try a few beers while I'm here. Had a third of a 10.8% IPA by Stone which is pretty much exactly what you'd expect and I like very much.
Just trying a 16.5% porter (another third) and fucking hell you could do yourself some real damage. I've had beers of half the strength which taste harsher.
Doghouse? Have you eaten there? It's incredible :drool:
Just got given a litre of Winter Apple Punch JD. It sounds hideous :drool:
Dunno which thread I posted about it in but the Trinity meat plate thing is absolute fucking heaven.Quote:

I had a meat plate thing in whichever pub it was Smoak used to do the kitchen for and it was unbelievably good. Brisket, ribs, burnt ends, all the standard stuff. It was about fourteen quid I think, and I could hardly move at the end of it.Quote:
