Maxray, mine were from Sainsburys as well…! Very impressed with the variety, even if it was from one that’s south of the Moat! 🙂 (don’t tell me you were in Nine Elms, too…!)
Bottle of Brew Dog Dead Pony Club at the moment but going to go out for a Pub tea in a little while so probably a few pints of something Thwaites (most likely wainwright).
Wahoo! Hobgoblin this evening! When the nights start closing in & the temp drops a bit, I do like a nice glass of Hobgoblin!
Also got 2 bottles of red & a crate of lager, plus some fancy crisps & dark chocolate.
My Sis & her husband are visiting, as well as a good mate. There’s a curry sat on the cooker too, just need to do the rice & Naan breads once they arrive!
B’stards the lot of you.
Going on the wagon for abit as been binge drinking a little too much.
No self control unfortunatly , can make all through the week without a drop , till Friday at 5pm then the flood gates open.
This is not helped by the fact I have just created a stunning 5% IPA with a truckload of hops, and once past the first 1/2pt it becomes almost addictive.
after a long ride home in the rain, I’m just polishing off a nice bottle of the Wine Society’s Sauvignon Blanc to be followed by a couple of bottles of Lambeth Walk Dark Porter – a new one for me from the By The Horns brewery
mainstream this evening – Ruddles County, Landlord and London Pride await.
My local (previously excellent) off license got taken over, it’s completely gone to shit. No ales worth speaking of, what there is is stupidly expensive, lots of tasteless fizzy crap (Stella etc) and any decent lager is overpriced.
Pakistani family bought it. I do wonder if the lack of choice or quality is linked to a non boozy culture. if you want dubiously coloured alcopops however….
fizzicist, why not suggest that they get some ales in? – they sell for a premium and I’m sure their mark-up is similar to the alco-piss they can buy on the cheap.
For sure cfh. At first I thought it was a seasonal Xmas range and got very annoyed, but at 3 for 4quid maybe I should put some aside for Christmas thinking about it!
