[Closed] Friday drinking thread.

I don't care what drink it is but my target is to get my son to buy me a pint, as he turned 18 today.

ossett Yorkshire blonde at the end of my commute. just the one though.
I am a changed man... 😀

Popping around my local offy to pick up a selection soon, they have the most amazing range of beer, lager and cider I've ever seen.

After my day?

Anything.

Slurpage will be supplied by Pilsner Urquell tonight.

As per usual!

good choice, peter!

A few pints at lunch of Harvey's Best Sussex Bitter, or whaterver it's called, which was tasty but had bits floating in it.

I have a some bottles of Hogs Back T.E.A. at home, which are due to wink at me when I get home, along with a bottle of Tourraine Sauvignon Blanc which I suspect will also have its winking face on, given the fish pie I have planned.

Latest brew is still a little too fresh in the bottle, so a trip to the LBS* is in order, I think.

There was talk the other day of them doing a little taster or two of a few things tonight, so may be home a little late! *Hic!*

*Beer. Local beer shop. Obviously.

Liking the Kracken, I've had a Peroni over a slightly boozy lunch and I'll be opening up the Doorleys Rum tonight when the kids (and Mrs Bombjack) are in bed.

Some Hydes "Beer Studio" stuff - apparently.

and maybe some homebrew. I have 42 bottles of a kit beer that should be about ready to drink. Bulldog Brews' Four Finger Jack, an American Craft Beer style

or maybe some Old Golden Hen.

or perhaps:

Interestingly, Doorly's was one of the things I'd spotted in the LBS the other day. Never tried it, always been a fan of the Mount Gay XO, but it was among the possible things they'd mentioned as a taster. So, may just have to....!

Planning to knock out a few Tommy's Margaritas before work.

Got one of these open and another couple waiting, though they'll have to wait til later as I've got to pick up minimogrim#1 from gymnastics at 8:

I'll probably stop off at the supermarket and get some Ribera del Duero in, too.

Peterfile, I'm liking the look of that ale but looking at the website it is hard to get hold of outside of London. Is that a 500ml bottle & how much?

Jekkyl, available to order from here - http://thecraftbeerco.com/product-category/uk/

Best lock up your wallet before logging on though, as they also have some stunners such as this in stock;

This was one of the finest beers I have drunk in recent years. Amazing.

Oh, and try some of the Hoppin' Frog stuff. The barrel aged BORIS the Crusher is a stonker!

I'm still not drinkng booze since New Years and I've tightened my belt by two notches...

After being on the wagon (since Tuesday!) I've just cracked the bottle open 🙂

Cider of course!

Any posts from now till tomorrow I might not be responsible for 😉

On my 3rd single malt whilst watching the opening of the Winter Olympics 😀

Still trying to clear out beer left over from Christmas. Got a couple of 75cl Bottles of Hoegarden for this evening.

I think I'll sample a few of my home brews (kits) to see if they are 'ahem' ready yet!
I also have a bottle of all grain beer to try brewed by a mate of mine.

Happy days

End of a long week and the start of a week off so a few Golden Pippins, glass of wine with tea and finished off with a nip or two of Macallan 🙂

This is the front of the 'top shelf' selection [img] [/img]

Tonight I shall be sampling this

It has been brewing quite merrily for the last 4 weeks in my back room.

Its my first foray into homebrew. 🙂

Two sneck lifters await my attention this evening, followed by a hob goblin and maybe the last of my homebrew - a hearty evening. Then sleep on the sofa no doubt

Lugz I'm the same as you but a bit more advanced into my first 40 bottles go homebrew, got about 15 left. Going for a Festival kit next, I like the sound of the Golden Stag one.

But I have beer envy for the Proper Job posted above 🙂

Murphys stout and Paddy whiskey chasers.

Following on from a recent "What should I buy in Aldi" thread

and .. yum

A couple of these, maybe 3 if I go nuts 🙂

We dug out the savoy cocktail book last week so tonight I have had a Tom Collins and now I am on a gin martini

Three pints of Tuborg at the local Wetherspoons,

I started back on a 5:2 fast this morning,I hate you all.

Never drink on a Friday evening, but will get mashed on some choice real ales tomorrow lunchtime.

A couple of these, maybe 3 if I go nuts

Make sure you save the Young's Double Chocolate for pudding/last.

I small bottle of Brew Dog IPA as I've got work at 10am.

Wanting a few more.

Certainly will Jamie 🙂

Just had the old thumper, very nice 🙂

Peterfile, I'm liking the look of that ale but looking at the website it is hard to get hold of outside of London. Is that a 500ml bottle & how much?

I can find it all over the place in Scotland, from my local beer shops and pubs...where abouts are you?

I've just had an absolutely minging saison. No idea why the yanks have decided that it's the flavour of the month, it's called farmhouse beer for a reason.

Makes a change from London Pride! 😀

Certainly will Jamie

Good, as it's like drinking hot fudge and you won't fancy much after 😉
