Thread: What are you drinking today?

at any time.

1 hour intense gym sesh at 12:00



1.5 liters of chilled golden goodness 1.5 hours before.

I was inspired by this peachilicious sunset this evening...

...to partake of a pre-Sunday poovalicious pink prosecco while watching Respect, the Aretha Frankin Biopic this evening, starring the lush Jennifer Hudson.

Good movie 7.6/10

Lovely sunset.

Friday it is. Old Fashioned night with a unique rye whiskey from Lip Service ( Distilled in Tennessee, finished in Calistoga). Tracked down some Maraschino Cherries with a hint of Woodford reserve.

Cheers

Washing down a spicy lunch with a well-stirred, chilled, iron rich monthly special.

Do you ever drink whisky from Scotland or Ireland? What's the difference between those and the US ones?

Whiskey

not a bad drop.

the tasting notes say "this silky-smooth full-bodied whisky harmoniously combines warm notes of spice with hints of nutty marzipan and dark sherry oak. A satisfyingly rich and sweet Glenfiddich."

Not very often anymore Hal.. I occasionally enjoyed a nice 15 or 18 year Glenmorangie or Fiddich like DW posted but have always preferred US Bourbon or Rye Whiskey. They taste totally different from Scotch. I like Cask Strength from charred oak barrels.

My Dinky Toys Bedford Jones Fleetmaster No:970 Mobile Crane was called into action tonight to pop the cap off this strong ale..



Worth about £60 on ebay.

The drop hit the spot too

Sure it is.

When the sugar turns to alcohol..

I've been introducing the daughter to the old English custom of an afternoon pint to while away the afternoon when the weather's shite. I want her to learn about her roots and culture... someone has to teach her this stuff and they don't cover it at school.

When I was a kid there was also parking down the centre of this street... an interesting quirk no doubt deemed to dangerous for the modern day.



I also remember when 'Prospect House' was the village Post Office and when the telephone box had a telephone in it. My dad taught me how to make free calls by jamming a lolly stick down the coin slot.

In fact I remember when the village had around 15 to 20 shops and now it has just 3 or 4, yet the population has probably trebled since my day. The slow death of a village.



Anyway, after boring the daughter senseless with tales of old, our destination was reached. She could get on the Wifi and I could get my pint of Butcombe, the most glorious pint of bitter that exists.



In fact, it was so good I had a second. Helge was lying on the floor again.



Butcombe Brewery is now located in my mum's village and it makes a really great pint. When the wind's from the east my mum's house occasionally gets filled with the wonderful hoppy, yeasty aroma of brewing beer. Sadly the wind is almost always from the west, hence such shite weather this summer.



Butcombe beer is a real local success story and I once even saw it for sale in Glasgow, although never in Bangkok as yet. I wonder if any UK members have ever tried it? In fact, in the name of research I will make a pledge right now... I will give a Green* to anyone who posts a pint of Butcombe bitter in this thread.

* Or an 'owed' Green

Is this the one, Mendip?

^ Yes, Green owed mate!

Butcombe is a great beer. They got bought out in 2015 but are still run as an independent.

Got 20 275ml bottles for 12quid, came with one bottle broken, so I got a full refund and kept the brew, fucking result

^^ Green owed as I'm a man of my word.

Two Greens revoked for cheating.


^ That is a result!

Green owed!

Amazon?

I buy most of my booze for home from there nowadays, those fukkers monitor and price match every offer the supermarkets come up with.

I'm on my last can of Kronenburg sat here in the garden at the mo. 15 440ml cans for 10.99. I cant be dealing with those 2 swig 250ml bottles and dropping the things off in those bottle/charity clothes bank after.

A decent beer.

What's the Butcombe Goram IPA like, Mendip?
