Right, as I know one or two people on here are partial to a bit of fine tipple (not to be confused with nipple) on any (or all) days of the week, I thought it a good idea to create a safe, happy environment in which people can talk about their [s]dependancy on[/s] enjoyment of alcoholic beverages without fear of being called an alcoholic/drunk or worse.

Tonight I am mainly drinking very distinctive, top shelf plonk from breweries that couldn't be classified as micro-sized even if I were the one and almighty God looking down on the peasants of the world like a boy on an ant hill (Yes Woppit, God watches us 24-7, 365 days a year and come the end he will judge you!)

I am drinking this:

This:

[img] [/img]

And this:

[img] [/img]

Please note that I am not drinking all of the delectable beverages listed above at the same time. To do so would spoil the distinctive fragrant nose of each drink and would be quite uncouth!

If you too are enjoying a clean, crisp pint of something frothy this evening, please share with all what your poison of choice is and what method of consumption you choose to employ (mouth, eyeball, nostrils etc.)

Farewell to all.

I'm drinking red wine in accordance with the iDave diet. I have 2 glasses a night otherwise the diet doesn't work.

OP - DAB = Class! The rest? Oh dear....

After a few too many icy cold Estrella over recent days, it's a Pure UBU and a Brakspears Triple for me.

Houns... you want to ask for that pint topped up. Barmen have been sacked for serving pints like that in Yorkshire

Pure UBU

good call Flash, not a bad pint that, albeit a bit rich for more than a couple
.
after 5 laps of Regent's Park this evening, I went to the Green Man on Portland St and had a pint of this
[img] [/img]
which tasted like wet dishwater
and a pint of this
[img] [/img]
which tasted like the pipes needed changing
.
I won't be going there again
but even bad beer is still beer eh 🙂

DAB is ace! 😀

Tesco (speshul offer innit) Leffe Blonde here. When I lived in [s]the Motherland[/s] France, people in my local would all go "ooooh" if you ordered a Leffe, like you were a city boy made of money. 😕

It's not a school night for me though, shift work means that I'm currently on my days off and as Foxyrider said; it's on offer.

Intoxicants are an abomination, Satan's handiwork, eschew such abomination, that ye may prosper.

Satan's plan is but to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and hinder you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?

I usualy stock the beer fridge with a selection of badger ales, my favorite being the golden champion. [img] [/img]

However, If I lived near my sister in ross-on-wye, Id mostly stock up on the local micro brewerys selection. Kingston Brewery in tinton, just up from the abby has a fine selection and I perticually like this one!

If you live anywhere near, I recomend a trip for a tasting session, followed by a ploughmans in the little beer garden behind the brewing shed overlooking the valley. Awsome!

Nothing for me this week as I am saving myself for Stourbridge Beer Festival on Friday (and possibly Saturday if I play my cards right!).

Saying that, I might pop into the pub for a pint of this tonight though:

I,ve been drinking a weird concoction for the last 5 weeks, green/peppermint tea with goji berries, brewed at the same time as the tea then honey when it cools and add some red wine.

I now only drink about 1 bottle of red wine a day, so all good!

187ml bottle not a full one!

Houns, early as I can! It gets very busy from about 8pm so I get there eariler to avoid the queues. Saturday is much quieter but there is generally less beer left. Free entry on Saturday after 5pm as well.

The old purple tin,
The old purple tin,
Sweet testament Lord,
To the state that I'm in,
I've drunk it all day,
And I've drunk it all night,
The old purple tin,
Oh Lord, lights up my life

Last week I made Strawberry & Cream Vodka
The weekend I made Murray Mint Vodka
Yesterday I made Rhubarb & Custard Vodka

Oh, with the left over Vodka I poured it into a jar of Strawberry flavoured Rock.

Somehow I'm a bottle down, just from taste testing..

Riding home from the Swan in Enford one night, I think I may have swerved. I woke up in the ditch at about 0900 the next morning.... 😳

Good work!

The reason I ask is I have two levels of drunk, very and extremely. Now while very drunk I seem to be ok riding home, on the cycletrack may I add!!!!!

But the other day I was extremely drunk and I ended up getting on the wrong side of a bin in a park!

Worst crash I have had to date!

Mrs BigJohn and I always ride our pub bikes into town, and back.

We have now become quite good at falling off gracefully, in a relaxed fashion, but because I ride fixed there was once a pedal interlocking moment that had a muddy ending.

I also remember a nasty incident when I had my guitar slung over my shoulder, wearing flipflops with clips'n'straps (not a good combo) and when out of the saddle over that really steep railway bridge by the pub the strap slipped down, trapping my arms. No real damage but a bit of a scare.

My normal pub tipple is Mine Beer from Blindman's brewery, which is a farm near Frome. They've brought out this special: Buzz Light Beer
