I stocked up the other day on a trip to London.
So, I have lined up, and waiting for the right occasion
Speedway Stout at 12%
Even More Jesus at 12%
Black Tokyo Horizon at 17%
and a couple of bottles of the utterly sublime Omnipollo Mazarin at 5.6%
Also got a “Two Cans” mate 😆 He got that when we were kids – someone said “he’s pissed after one can!”, to which he exclaimed “I’ve had two!”. Bless him.
I always go for 5%-7% beer/pale ale/ipa where possible, but never go for the shite full of chemicals. If it lists the holy quadruplet ingredients, it’ll do for me.
Special shout out to Hollandia strong (about 7.5%), which makes a lovely shandy 😛
Special Brew / 1080 snakebite down in ones was a staple start to my football team’s after match ‘recovery’ regime. That was the start, oddly can’t remember how they finished most of the time, although usually involved waking up sometime on Sunday morning with an odd feeling that you’d made an arse of yourself somehow.
