    Their cans are amazing. The way they open, I mean. Miles better drinking out of a cup than through the little hole a normal ringpull gives you.

    I rated Wild Gravity a 4.5 (out of 5) on Untappd, so you’ve done well there.

    Edit: Boston Tea Party was a 2.75, but it did get hot tub water in it, because of the aforementioned opening system.

    Yeah, I've not had a sippy can for ages and they are good.

    The stout is also very decent.

    I believe that's what they refer to as a '360 can' and first time I got one it nearly melted my damn mind.

    Was in Shilling in Glasgow tonight. Comfortably a better selection than Brewdog these days.

    Ever had Big Wave. It’s a delicious lager but there seems to be a ridiculous rule in the UK that it must be £5 a pint. Up north that’s quite a lot and the first time I ever had it, in newcastle, they warned me it was £5 before pulling it. Well now I have a good piece of memorabilia.

    The glass says 'pint' on it so why does it look so big? Do you have girl hands?

    I assume Big Wave as a pint is expensive because it's from the other side of the world and I'd speculate that Hawaii doesn't have that much room for breweries big enough to churn out loads of draught beer.

    And if you'll allow me to go full nerd it's also not a lager, which it even says on that glass you're holding in your tiny hand.

    I knew there was a brewery calling Lickinghole Creek, I did not know they are from a place in Virginia called "Goochland."

    Anyway, their 11.5% Heir Apparent stout is magic.

    I had a pint of guinness for lunch before my date to settle my nerves. Really nothing can beat it if you're in the mood for it.

    Tesco had some Boyne Brewhouse stuff on offer so I got some Oatmeal Stout and some Saison (no idea). Also picked up some Guinness Milk Stout, Guinness Rye IPA, and the new O'Hara's Session IPA.

    Beer Hawk and Eebria are the ones I know.

    I just got excited for a bottle of Delirium I got in the shop by the apartment I'm in as it's the first beer I've seen here that isn't just another Spanish lager. Unless I go to one ofnthe tourist traps and drink Guinness.

    That Saison was lovely. It's basically a session IPA under a different name but it's good.

    After a keg for Christmas Day.

    My dads already picked up this one:



    But he’s under the impression we’ll need two. They’re all £27 on BeerHawk which seems a bit steep considering that one was £16.

    Any suggestions anyway? Summat different to that.

    Saw this one on morrisons but I’m worried it might go down like a lead ballon with me and my dad:

    Store them outside, and you get about nine pints iirc.

    Those kegs are fucking awful. Most of the time you're getting a flat beer with 90% head.

    The only time I've had one I was flummoxed by the fact I was supposed to have opened (or done something to) it 24 hours in advance of wanting a beer. They should really make that clearer.

    I think it was Ghost Ship, and cans would have been a better choice.

    It's for Christmas Day though, and has become part of family tradition to get a keg and the three of us fight it in the kitchen, trying to get a decent pint.

    I wasn't drinking last year though, so it wasn't as good. This year I'm back involved, although still taking it easy. I reckon I can muster five pints over the course of the day before being told off.

    If you want to be pouring pints at home you should get a 'Sub', one of those home draft jobs. They could really do with expanding their range of available beers, but even a pint of Moretti from one of those is going to seem like a holy liquid compared to what you're getting in one of those skanky supermarket kegs.

    Moretti is great.

    Our first few years with those kegs we did get mostly head in our beers, last year though we finally nailed it and it was great!
    It’s also good fun to just be pouring your Christmas pints. Last year we even had a cider one that The Reid and my Mum polished off while playing Monopoly

    If you just like the novelty factor of the pouring just get boxed wine. At least you're suitably prepared for the disappointment.

    I do like cider but I can never drink more than a pint without feeling awful these days, I think it must be the sugar. In my alchier days, if a pub was serving 6%+ flat cider I'd knock back pint after pint. Absolute gut rot and I don't think I ever managed to get through the next day without violent diarrhea but yet I still have a weird nostalgia about it.

    I had bad heartburn the next day but that was about it to be fair.

    I wish it was more popular as the choices in many pubs are still the pisswater that is Magners/Bulmers or some stupidly sweet concoction.

    That being said, I had pear Magners recently and that was actually very good, nowhere near as sweet as typical pear ciders and all the better for it.

    We're quite lucky around here, most of the pubs will have a "real" cider on tap, and one usually has about 5 on, one of which tends to be about 10%.

    I'd like to ask a theory that I've been experiencing for the last couple of years that makes no sense but I can't figure anything else.

    Why can I go back to my flat and drink 4 cans in a couple of hours and be fine/a bit pished and yet feel like I've arrived at that point after one/two pint(s) at a pub, company or no?

    It's stopped me from going out quite a bit recently but doesn't actually stop me from drinking because I just do it at home where it doesn't get out of hand so quickly. Which just makes me a shutout who drinks on his own. The worst two genders.

    Are you moving about more in the pub, on your feet etc. so it feels more obvious?

    I find I can be half way through a drink and I can tell I've had alcohol. Always makes me wonder about those who have a pint then jump in the car.

    Interestingly (or not), me and my mum were talking about this the other day, but the opposite. We agreed that when we've had a couple of cans/glasses of wine at home we've felt pretty battered, but have drank twice that with pals out and about and feel nowhere near as drunk. I've always assumed the low-level nervous energy of interacting with people combined with not wanting to seem like a drunk idiot after 2 pints of john smiths sobers me up a bit.

    The empty stomach drinking is the worst modifier for booze though. I never really feel drunker quicker, but the speed with which my motor skills and general self-control wears off is palpable. After pint 3 on Saturday night I felt mostly sober, but ended up knocking over a chair in the smoking area and getting all the waAAAAYYYSssss!!! from the lads nearby. How embarrassing!!

    Are we talking standard cans? They're smaller than pints, so that might account for it. Or you're just drinking quicker when out and about.

    I notice the opposite usually though.

    Not here. 50cl 5.5% cans is the standard which you'd think pubs would water down.

    I have a friend who switched to ordering a half rather than a pint. If you can take the mocking give that a go when out?

    I actually picked up a bottle of cider on the way home cos I’ve a sore throat and it’s my mums answer to a sore throat.

    I reckon you just drink a lot quicker in a Pub. Louder, so if you have company you drink to quench your thirst from half shouting (sometimes). And you're there with the pint right there in front of you by a table, it's just very accessible (compared to lying in your sofa or whatever and being a bit half arsed about reaching the coffee table).

    Also, I reckon you may eat more snacks at home (unless you're having a meal at the pub) and you likely are better at having the odd glass of water or two (whereas when out, again, you only use beer or drinks to quench thirst).
