    I heard it was expensive but that’s outrageous. It’s basically their run of the mill drink so God know what the rarer ones are.

    I think the ones over here a Punk IPA will cost you.... four quid? Something like that?

    They trying to say they can afford to open a brewhouse in Ohio but not to not add 50% onto the price of a pint of Punk in Ireland?

    €7.25 I’ve been informed now. Still though, you can get the same drink for under a fiver in Wetherspoons (though as you can imagine it’s a cesspit).

    Prices are here apparently if you can open it (I’ve no Reddit)

    Dublin's always been mental for beer prices though, especially around the touristy bits which I assume this Brewdog place is sort of aimed at (at least in price). Was easily €6+ per pint a decade ago.

    Hasn’t gone over the 6 in the majority of places in that time apart from the few pubs you’ll find an English stag or a heap of yanks. This Brewdog is way up the other side of the quays near the docks in a shit location so they must be banking on people deliberately going out of their way to it.

    In other drinking news I am absolutely set for Christmas day.

    Well, I need to be more sober this year because of work but I don't need to drink anything that isn't an imperial something or other.

    On the locavore dry stout again. It’s limited edition so I don’t know how you’d get it over there @Ian but you should try, it’s savage. I’d near post you one.

    I'm guessing we don't get much Wicklow Wolf over here because I checked my list and the only one I've had to do with them was an excellent collab they did with Fierce.

    Dunno if you've had much else by Fierce but their dark stuff is pretty much all brilliant.

    Also, Brehon Shanco Dubh is unreal. 7.7% and dangerously smooth. They’ve a Shanco Dubh imperial too that I must try.

    Deciding whether to get into any of my really good shit when I finish tonight or to save that for next week. Might have a pale one that won't touch the sides first and then I've got a cranberry Scotch ale that isn't that strong but feels suitably festive.

    The Mrs bought me this as she knows I love a Black IPA. I’ve a Mosaic Session to make first but really looking forward to it (I need a new big pot anyway for that one).

    Another stout but beefed up a bit with roasted malt and about a litre of espresso. I batch primed it with black treacle too

    The pic I posted up the page was more of a standard one so it was close to Guinness. Hoping for more from this one.

    Nice.

    I bought some mystery boxes from Beerhawk as they were a cheap way to fill the fridge with beer. £15 a box and one of them has a Mikkeller imperial IPA which they normally sell for a rather eye-watching £13 so that one worked out alright.

    Merchant City's Glenfarclas aged barley wine is the most disappointing thing I've had in ages.

    And bearing in mind I've just typed that sentence you can probably imagine I am accustomed to disappointment.

    I got some brew in a bag thing from my my in-laws. Not sure I’ll be able to drink 25 pints of it in the four weeks it stays drinkable, but I’m looking forward to trying.

    I'd be surprised if it only last 4 weeks anyway but I might be wrong.

    I've been working my way through the 30+ beers I currently have in the house this afternoon. Mostly pale stuff so far, going to have something thick and tar-like after dinner as I have a few I've been remarkably restrained about drinking.

    I still haven’t been able to touch anything since my dinner 6 hours ago. I’m never able to drink after food and I still end up forgetting and buying beer at this time of year.

    Nah it's a beer, a type of strong ale like you'd get with a wee heavy or something along those lines. I think "wine" just comes from the fact that they're usually 10-12% which is nearer wine strength.

    Honey, water and yeast?

    My mate from work used to make it. Said he just got two jars of this honey and mixed it with spring water and yeast, left it for 4-6 months and then added 1 more jar somewhere down the line and he ended up with a gallon of delicious mead.

    He showed me photos of some demijohns from 2015. One had mango in it and the other had cherries. The cherries had all gone white cos the honey must've sucked the colour out of them somehow and it looked like a jar of eyeballs cos of the stones.

    It's his 50th soon so thinking of buying him some [posh] honey, and might get myself some in the process. Looks like 3KG of decent honey will set me back about £30 each though, so rethinking it.

    I asked on Reddit and was suggested heather blossom honey or sourwood honey, but I might just go to a local farm that has bees and get summat from them. I've also read it should be unfiltered unheated unpasteurised honey (the cloudy stuff?) but if he's used that cheapo normal stuff from Asda in the past, I don't really know what to get! My very brief reading up on it suggests the pasteurisation process that makes it clear kills the yeast cells, so getting the other stuff would mean he wouldn't need to add yeast. However, he's the one who's done it before, so maybe I should just get clear stuff and let him add his yeast like normal.

    I'm definitely overthinking it.

    I just don’t like honey in drinks. Used some in a pale ale a few weeks ago and dumped the lot.

    I’ve moved on to the all-grain now but went back to a couple of the kits I made a good while back and they’re spot on (mosaic session IPA and a roasted coffee stout). Long sitting in the bottles seems to be the trick.

    Yeah it's definitely better to leave them until after they're initially ready and let them age in the bottle a bit more.

    How much should I be looking forward to this?

    The negroni is my go to, but I reckon I ought to branch out. This was a good first step.

    I tell ya when I was growing up movies had me believe bars are these magical places where you ask the bartender to make you some kinda obscure sounding drink and they magically whip it up in front of you off the top of their head but honesty it's mostly just "hey you got Jack+coke?" "thanks".

    I looked up a Boulevardiar and I feel like if i asked one of these fellas to make it they'd look at me like i'm an asshole

    Yeah, especially when you start lecturing them on the importance of flaming some orange peel over it.

    Does make a difference though.
