What Are You Drinking?

Agree.

I'm morally opposed to buying anything from the overpriced dickhead part of the supermarket which clocks in sub 6%.

In 2017 I rated Hoegaarden 2.0 (out of 5) :cab:

Today I’m drinking [a giant bottle of] it and have rated it a 4.25. :drool: How times change.

I had a Northern Monk Tropical World earlier which was pretty decent.

Saw a question on Reddit, what’s the best IPA you can get in supermarkets.

It really is Neck Oil isn’t it. :drool:

(Jaipur is winning the votes at present)

If it's as standard across the country then I guess it'd be one or those. I can get better in mine currently though.

Fairly play to Beavertown turning a selection of decent beers into £6 a pint as standard now.

Aye, that is a bit of a kick in the nuts - especially when I'm in rounds with Carling drinkers but that's not my problem. Similar to Big Wave, it's worth the expense if the only other options are your standard lagers/bitters.

I'd have Jaipur a million times over Neck Oil. The correct answer is Proper Black though.

Meanwhile I’ve got ten of these for in the garden tomorrow:

:youpi:

North Brewing Piñata seems to be on clearance in ASDA for 80p a can. Clear the shelf. :cool:

Apparently, I'm a fan.

Yeah I think I’ve had that one. Not usually a fan of overly fruity shit but that was alright. Certainly at 80p I’d be making a run on it.

Is Brewdog's "Cold Beer" any good as what I guess what our antipodean friends would call a mid-strength lager? Saw it on offer earlier, although now looking it up the offer was only a quid less than the official website price so perhaps not that great.

Sorry I’ve never had it. Reviews favourably enough on Untappd though, like a slightly better Lost Lager.

I usually avoid anything Brewdog related, since advent calendar scorned me. However I did pick up one of their King Crush yesterday, as a birthday treat to myself.

Go to Asda and buy a can of this Croatian beer:

Incredibly tasty! :drool:

I've had a handful of theirs and they were mostly at least pretty decent. Their baltic porter, somewhat predictably, my favourite.

I have a look for some on Friday. 7.4% appeals.

How sad is it that I look up pubs I know I’ll be going to on Untappd, to see what beer they do in advance? Tomorrow’s looks promising for the England game. A pale ale called Paradise No. 3 by Thwaites, with Neck Oil as a failsafe. HEYYYY JUUUUDE…

I don't think it's that sad but I'm probably not the reassurance you were looking for here.

I'm currently drinking a 12% Tonka-heavy Vaulty City collab and loving life.

Not realising it was likely some Jamie Laing collab I bought 4 of Brewdog's Candy Kittens Eton Mess NEIPAs as they worked out at £1.50 a can, discounted to £2 each and then 4 for 3 in Sainsburys. It's not bad. A bit sickly. Probably something to try if you're into your fruit beers. Buying 4 was probably an error.

Vault City Peach Ice Tea. Does the job.

Ordered my Brew Export Advent Calendar.

Think I’ll knock drinking on the head until 1st December.

Just made a mai tai with overproof rum. Jesus. I guess I shouldn't be shocked that the jump to 60% is a noticeable one but that stuff certainly puts hairs on your chest.

I just got my homebrewing medals in the post :cool:

Found some Beamish, hard to get outside the southwest. How this isn’t more popular than Guinness is a marketing miracle.
