[Closed] Who's had ale?

a few bradfield brown cow after a bottle of red wine.

Tomorrow? Dunno - whatever the in laws have in for me

I've taken to leaving Fraoch at extended family members homes.

Comes in handy.

Usually, all the in laws have in for me is life advice.

this thread has inspired me to get around the outside of a vodka and coke or two... 8)

currently drinking aspall imperial cyder...mrs drewfus bought me for being back at home... normally on the marstons strong pale ale.

Franziskaner Weissbier, £1.49 a bottle from LiDL, while stocks last. I went in looking for cheap bike stuff and came out with a crate of this instead.

Had a very long night photographing three bands in Newcastle, watching everyone else drinking beer and getting lairy. Back home now and into my third can of Becks. Not the tipple of choice but the 24 hour garage only sells 'emergency' beer.

4 tinnies of cider and a quarter litre home made lavender schnaps... and now, the expected thick head...

Think its the ethanol in the schnaps...

Last night, a single pint of Scarlett McCaw from Oakham, forgotten just how much of a grapefruit twist it has.

Single pint as driving and laying off the beer for before the London 10k tomorrow - what was I thinking!

Drank the last of my Tryst Hop Trials Citra, It tasted great but I feel sad now.

Tried Belhaven Black for the first time last night, very nice indeed.

3cans of John smiths instead of Guinness, now realise its watery rubbish.

The Guinness or the Smiths?

2 bottles of Landlord.

Newcastle Brown Ale

Home made OSH, gobhoblin and a single hop citra blonde for me tonight. Need to brew some more of the citra

I had several bottles of Koppaberg Strawberry and Lime, it is so very sweet 😀

Then I went out and had some normal boring pub lager, Fosters i think it was, and have a headache now.

Just had scrambled egg with spagetti hoops on toast and a bottle of coca cola for breakfast to try and help.

Excellent!

Now I've had a steak pie out the butchers with chips, beans, peas, gravy and crusty bread it's time for the afternoon beverage...

Black Isle Red Kite Organic ale.

Nectar of the gods.

If C is 25 and cycles 100k a week, how many Real Ale weekends does he have left until he looks like this>?

Tour of Iceland tonight.

Schwing.

That is a delicious line up.

The porter is divine. Get the bitter choco out to nibble on.

Can I have one of those chairs?

12 pack of Fosters Gold for pre-drinks tonight, I'm a classy man 😆

I think I'm going to have a few now as I'm riding early tomorrow. There's quite a few Sierra Nevada pale ales in the kitchen...just hoping there's still a few left come morning! 😀

I was drinking Jennings Cumberland Ale and Brains 'Le Peleton' last night and most enjoyable they were too.

Sierra Nevada bullies my head in the morning, so does Blue Moon for that matter, something funny must happen in the cargo plane.

Having a notion for some Modelo, but I've forgotten what the sun looks like so it wouldn't be right.

Need a nice comforting "pssing down" ale.

Like Innis & Gunn Rum cask.

Hard week at work, now a few days off. Brains SA Gold now, then Tribute. Maybe a Sharpes Doom Bar somewhere along the lines

The Guinness or the Smiths?

The Smiths, now drinking Becks for my sins...

3 pints of Ram Tam this aft.

No ale for me. Blauer Zweigelt red for me this evening.

still too early

[b]john_drummer...[/b]

The sun is setting, sir, tick-tock-tick-tock.

Pop, pssss, glugglugglugglugglug. Rest.

Sip.

Aaaaaaaaaaah.

I wonder if Mrs. C can be persuaded to come to this with me

http://www.clachaig.com/p/v/special-offers/octoberfest-2012/

Looks like a bargain with some riding/walking/fishing to boot.

still daylight here.

besides, I've been busy for the last hour or so.

2x chardonnay & 1x rioja demijohns now on the go, and a cab-sauv racked into a clean dj.
tomorrow I shall be brewing 20-23 litres of a clone of a well known belgian lager.

Oyster bay going down very nicely here. Bottle no 3 is now open, 3 to go.

6 bottles of hobgoblin and a bottle of shiraz and I'm ready for bed. nytol and/or go****yourselves springs to mind.

Hezus [b]Gorehound[/b], that's setting the pace!

Quick update in the morning/early afternoon?

[b]stumpyjon[/b] Is the plan 6 bottles of white wine or am I thinking of the wrong 'Bay?

Well, this is the obligatory "who's" pissed Saturday night thread then.

I'm not. I'm sat in a hospital for the second night with my two daughters, both with chest infections 🙁

best wishes for quick recovery there mastiles

Black Sheep here. Not been counting. Started at 1 o'clock this afternoon so quite a few.

Double G&T's here in the buoy household. Neither of us fancied supper so it's been cheesy doritos and that's about it..
Night all.

[b]mastiles_fanylion[/b] Best wishes and good luck on a speedy recovery for the little ones, and respite for you when everybody's healthy.

[b]Bikebouy[/b]- Wash your hands before bed!

Ok, I've succumbed. Bottle of Jaipur open now

mastiles fanylion.... lots and lots of that about, had my youngest in with it earlier in the year..really common apparently atm, scary stuff but they will be fine..ill finish my last brahma for you before i start on the wine...all the best

Yeah was meant to be out with an old friend who works out of the country lots so don't get to see him often.

Been told they should be allowed home tomorrow so already planning a take out + bottle of red.

Ooooh Jaipur, good shout.

Nice and strong.

Pacing yourself [b]beanieripper[/b]?

well.. instead of the vodka and coke that I mentioned last night, I just settled for a kip..

tonight is prosecco and OJ

[b]yunki [/b]that's for breakfast!

Is it posh pulpy OJ though, 'cause that's the best.

I think it's G & T and guilty-used to be a smoker- rollie time.

Is it posh pulpy OJ though, 'cause that's the best

hmmmm... no, it's budget orange and mango, well past it's best, with flat prosecco.. liberated from an event earlier today..

classy.. 8)

I'm very jealous of your guilty rollie.. 😐

Every time I say "that's it" a pack of Virginia Smooth ends up in the basket with the scratchcard. Just for one at the weekend.

I reckon the law banning it from P.O.S will do me favours...or make it even more of a guilty pleasure.

I like a life of moderation now after "the student" narcissistic years of 20 Marlboro Red and many vodkas-a-day.

Am only bloody 25. Going on 40. Innit.

Farmhouse Cider, with Cheddar cheese (from Cheddar) with salt and pepper crackers and ale chutney. mmm

Proper cheese, savoury biscuits, home-made brew?

It's all gone River Cottage since some people drank themselves to sleep.

Wonder how [b]stumpyjon [/b]and his Cloudy Bay's getting on.

If one is slightly tipsy, do [i]not [/i]go for a pootle round the garden...

Wuaey.

Last night, this -
[img] [/img]

have some kids [b]cfinnimore[/b].. it will greatly improve your motivation to stay off the fags.. and will help you to fall asleep at the screen, halfway through a dodgy Bucks Fizz, possibly preventing the tipsy pootle..

'Tis alrite [b]yunki [/b], sister keeps giving me nieces and nephews, every time another one shows up I think it adds 5 years to my brood-o-meter. Oh the commitment!

Mrs.C on the other hand...

"5 years 'til 30" she says "yup". . .
*hides the turkey baster*

I think she plans on waking up on the morning of her 30th birthday, legs in stirrups and a sign saying "let's go, big boy".

Beer o' clock?

Had a lovely pint of "Deuce" at lunchtime after an interesting mornings riding alongside (and occasionally in) the Erewash Canal and River Trent.

Nearly a disaster at the bar when she thought I'd ordered a pint of "Juice" 😳

just taken delivery of a couple bottles of old peculiar.. 8)

Swift One brewed by Bowman Ales at Wallops Wood, Droxford......yum!

[quote=wheelie said]Swift One brewed by Bowman Ales at Wallops Wood, Droxford......yum!

Lovely beer that.

last night i had 3 bottles.....1 theakstons lightfoot, 1 badger blanford fly and 1 thwaites triple c?
today i manages 6 pints of thomas barleycorn at the Irwell brewery in Ramsbottom.........awesome place.

Had a bit too much last night and woke up still pissed 🙁

Slight hijack ...

Bought a bottle of Co-op Czec premium lager yesterday to try it out and I must say it tastes very nice unlike the majority of the chemical water you find nowadays. It's brewed and bottled in Czec republic for Co-op.

Tonights tipple, on tap three doors away. 'tis ace.

and this is the brewery. 🙂

Just opened a bottle of Moorhouse's Pride of Pendle - very nice. Have a bottle of Blond Witch to follow.

Matt, Loch Fyne ales, all of them, are marvellous. Along with Inveralmond and pretty much anything from Orkney, I very rarely stray South of the border.

All Aled out for the weekend I think. Perchance a nice Oatmeal Stout (Black Isle) to round the day off nicely?

I think next week shall be IPA week.

Few "Old Crafty Hens`s" here..then a glass or two of red wine and a bit of stilton. Beltin.

I like saying "glass or two".
In house measure terms It's quite ambiguous.

Two glasses = 80% of the bottle... Glugglugglugglugglug...
Oh well, can't put it back in the bottle now :-).

Anyone recommend an ale with Heather in it rather than Fraoch?

Taylor's Landlord here.

The Moorhouse's beers went down well, now quaffing a bottle of Bowland's Sky Dancer.

The tour of Iceland was good. My favourite was the very tasty Doppelbock

Pudding was a lost dog 8)

Resurrected for tha' weekend...

No beer after last weeks consumption, it's Vodka Tonic time.

Kettle One + Fever Tree + Lemon wedge + CRUSHED ice.

Pistachio nibbles. Casa del Gastropub Chris.

Couple of Acorn Yorkshire Pride then maybe a Blonde later if i'm lucky!!

3.5 pts of Hogs Back Summer Ale, nice session beer.

__________
Pies.

On my 3rd whisky.

Could be a large night if i play my cards right 8)

[b]yamyamblade [/b]

Leffe or otherwise?

Tell you what, house measures can send Nicola Sturgeon right to buggery, minimum priced units indeed.

£5 in this glass. Cow.
