    I tried one once. Didn’t see the point in it. I don’t drink to get drunk, and they weren’t particularly tasty - like I could have just had a lime and soda or something.

    Meanwhile I’m away for two night in what I thought was a cabin but is actually someone’s garage (it’s alright though) so brought 5 (FIVE) cans of rhubarb and custard beer, after a successful trip to Morrison’s with @Mike the other day.

    I'm not sure I actually know what one is. Is it just a spirit with fizzy water as a quick Google implies? Sounds shit.

    Five cans in two days? Steady on lad.

    I think I'm out of the habit of drinking wheat beer. This And Union one is decent, and I'm sure it's a good example of the style, but it just feels like something that has been surpassed by more recent stuff.

    Scarab IPA - Apex Brewing - very good.

    Got a couple of more generic boxes as well - some High Wire Grapefruit IPA by Magic Rock and Voodoo Something by New Belgium which is a Hazy IPA. Both decent enough, the grapefruit one is tending a bit too far into sour beer territory for me.

    Also a Naparbier IPA of some sort and at least one big imperial left over from Christmas. Black something.

    Both the session IPA and the mosaic pale are good. Weirdly the session comes in at 4.7% and the pale at 4%, which seems sort of the wrong way round. The later has quite a nice smooth/creamy finish. Reckon it beats the Adnams of the same name.

    Talk to me about this Grapefruit & Hibiscus Farmhouse Ale.

    I picked up Small Pony Barrel Works (Kanata, Canada) Tropical Apocalypse, which purports to be “ A Blend of Golden Sour Beers Aged in Oak Barrels with Pineapples.” I can’t wait to try it.

    These are the same folks behind one of my favourite sours of all time - Half-Remembered Dream (A Blend of Golden Sour Beers Aged in Oak Barrels With Rose Hips and Hibiscus).

    It’s a fabulous beer, used a saison strain so it’s lovely and dry without being too tart like a sour. They’ve just released an all Australian hopped IPA too as number 6 which I can’t wait to try. The Clancy’s series has been fantastic as a whole.

    I've just had a can of some diet (?) M&S gin and tonic which, whilst I admit in itself is probably worthy of a trip to the Hague [I had it as it was rejected by another and I'm too parsimonious/much of an alcoholic to let something go to waste], but fuck me was it bad.

    De Bortoli 17 Trees Shiraz, on the other hand, is pretty decent for the price.

    What is "the price" in that case?

    My beer wankery hasn't yet spread to be being able to tell good and shit wines apart.

    That said given all the stuff you read about wine tasters largely not having a fucking clue maybe that's a good thing.

    Wine's minging.

    White wine to get drunk (in days gone by), rose cos girls seem to like it if you drink rose wine with them, and red cos it's free at an event and you wanna get your moneys worth.

    I honestly can't think of another acceptable circumstance in which I'd choose to drink wine.

    I think it was about £7, so it's cheap.

    Pretty smooth, as cheap reds can often be a bit rough. This one still has edges but it's alright.

    I'm a bit of a new world/australia snob as my parents, who were (are) prodigious consumers of wine, sacked off buying French stuff after those Murororora Atoll nuclear tests. £10 sees you right most of the time, although I tend to go cheaper for midweek quaffing. A £10 bottle with 25/33% off is what you want. Once you get into expensive wines it gets a bit confusing and a lot of them taste like musty old shite.

    The Chapel Down English whites are top notch as well imo.

    I can't remember where we were (maybe Cuba), but my wife once asked for a rose wine and explained to the confused barman that it was pink wine.

    He poured her a glass of red, then topped it up with white.

    It was still less of an abomination than what Lofty just said.

    Just had my first "Claw". Genuinely amazed at how awful it is. If you'd like to make your own right, take a red bull pour half of it out and then fill the other half with sparkling water and add a bit of lilt for taste.

    Fucking atrocious.

    Hardseltzer?

    I listen to the Workaholics guys podcast and they seem to love them, but then I realised it’s cos two part-own a brand who makes them so always big it up, and the other 2 big up other brands just to piss them off.

    The wife has some M&S ones and they contain 'alcohol' which sounds suitably generic for it to be diluted lighter fluid to me.

    On a slight side note, she was drinking vodka and soda (no lime cordial, maybe a bit of fresh lime but not enough to have a material taste impact) 15 years ago, so she was obviously well ahead of her time on that front as they seem ubiquitous now. Should have monetised it rather than lolling at her for basically being a tramp tier drinker.

    Was there a time (perhaps still ongoing) where wine ended up being mixed in a lot of trendy cocktails within living memory? Sort of rings a bell. Never really got it. Some things are better left alone, which you can interpret however you want for a successful outcome.

    The Spanish do a cocktail that's just red wine and lemonade, but they use a less strong one over there so the suggested mix is two parts red wine, one part sprite/similar, and one part soda water. It was genuinely nice and refreshing, but I'd rather something like vodka & lemonade or white wine on a hot day, and red wine on its own when it ain't so hot.

    Picpoul is my new fave white wine when I can be arsed to go asda, else let's be honest, I'll drink pretty much any piss from the garage.

    There was a restaurant near me that decided the Long Island Ice Tea needed a bit more punch so subbed the coke for red wine. It was surprisingly nice but it did mean a hangover of doom.
