If you ever go to Epernay, the Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne cellar tour is very good, we also enjoyed the Mercier tour. Anyway, in the town centre there used to be a super champagne shop, selling the local vineyard bottles with many variations of the three grape varieties. They used to do a 6 glass tasting and guide through the store where you can pick your bottles according to taste. Prices for these ranged from €17 upwards (rather than €30+ for brand names) and we never left disappointed.

Thanks Troy, I will check it out one day and I like the sound of buying decent stuff unbranded for half the price.

Loving the giraffe

Yeah, it was a bit mid.

^Colour isn't right and that head looks suspect, 10 for logo design though

Was walking past the rather impressively stocked mom n pop shop on me evening stroll and picked up another four TW.




Just to absolutely confirm that such toxic poisonous alcohol is definitely not for me anymore.

^Have your local Tops not got any Nam beer?

^^ Have to say, I've never heard of it; is it locally made in Thailand?

My favourite weißbier is Kuchlbauer...



However, I prefer to drink Augustiner Helles, the green label nowadays not the black and gold label, which is too strong.

^^^^Have not had a Weizen in a while. The Aussie ones are hit or miss but the good ones are great.


Tonight's tipple was a Shepherd Neame India Pale Ale weighing at a tasty 6.1% abv

This is a US M65 nuclear cannon, 'Atomic Annie'

It was planned to be used to fire small tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield but was never used in any war.

I was stoked to get this one to face off against the soviet-built rival the 2A3 Kondensator which I got a couple of years ago

The M65 was the only cannon to ever fire a live round (at a test site in Nevada).

It was designed in the late 1940s based on captured Nazi rail gun Anzio Annie, used against allied landings in Italy, which is where it got the name Atomic Annie.

This is the 15 kt round used in the test. Just shy of the 16 kt dropped on Hiroshima

Interesting info Loops.

I always thought the olden nuclear warheads were dropped by Bombers High up.

Imagine handling the shell and firing the cannon.

It would be like sitting on the shitter in the morning after several of those 6.1% Ales.

Yes, I'm sure you know the Tawandang brewery German style restaurants where the waiters and waitresses, or customer tenders for our Canadian buddy, do dancing shows etc. They brew up their own beer on site including weizen und dunkel using their German knowhow and techniques.

Well, after a few decades they've put them into cans now too.

Nice enough taste, no chemical shite. The main Thai guys brought out a few different brands of Thai weizen biers a few years ago which they foked up. 4%, full of fizz, full of chemicals. This is defo a step up from that.

The mom n pop shop also has cans of Tawandang Rose, but neither being gay nor Betty being around, and with both Edith and me 22 year old mistress being teetotalers, I didn't get to sample it.

I'm venturing out to Tethco-Lotath this arvo so will see if Tawandang also have cans of their dunkel.

Ending up just stopping at a roadside Tops. Was quite disappointing really. One small fridge with Thai shite in it.

None of the TWD Dunkel, maybe they don't put it in cans like their weizen or rose.

For a comparison I went with 4 San Mig 5.4% Blanca.




Made in Pathumthani.

For someone on a health kick mao sure does post in this thread often.

Never drunk Lagerbier Hell, but I've definitely visited.

Not half as much as you in MM's diet threads.


As it's a thread about what people are drinking on the day that they post, everybody drinks something everyday, be it milk, water, tea or fizzy 5.4% fake wheat beer, Mister Thread Police Officer Man.

I found the shop I was referring to...

Les Grands Vins de France : cave et bar a champagne a Epernay, pres de Reims (51)

You can browse the shop online...the champagne is downstairs.

I saw on Trip adviser that the tasting was 6 glasses for €15. Several years since I've been and I'm not sure if you could choose the 6 from a larger selection. However, I remember that the selection includes different ratios of the grapes from blanc de blancs to rosé.
