Friday drinking thread.

Just had my socks knocked off by this.

Happy Friday

Good call! Had a half of that in the local the other day. Lovely stuff!

Might have to drop in and see what’s on tonight, actually.

hmm, i may celebrate the 1st week of parenthood 2.0

maybe something from belgium…

Off to my local tonight and there is usually a fine selection of Belgian ales. Last time I was there I was drinking “Duchesse De Bourgogne” sour beer.

12% ABV, not surprised!

Gearing up for a homebrew sesh tomorrow. Grains measured out, brewing liquor all set, heater timer will come on at 6am so we’re all ready to rock at approx 8am.

Relaxing with some Hogs Back England’s Glory now.

3 for £5 in my local Tesco 😀
(whoa there – thats a big picture – sorry!)

I do believe Englands Glory was one of my early recipes.
Might have changed by now though.

1 Bottle of Upham Punter ( down the sink )]
1 Bottle of OOD Hant Rose (not goood)
1 Bottle Hambledon , very nice
2 pinys Sticklebract
1 bottle IPA .= Awesome
2 Bottles Russian Winter = more awesomenessss

Getting dangerously close to running out of wine here, stocked up with 48 bottles for Xmas and almost out now. Time for another order….

Pilsner Urquell in Prague airport.

very nice merlot tonight, very nice indeed. 🙂

Three pints of Ale to the Tsar in Fernandes,and a bottle of MKW3,my latest wheat beer,now.

plus some self-brewed American IPA and Golden ales, and maybe a glass or two of merlot. Bushmills may also make an appearance

Thwaites Bomber – never a bad choice….

On the London Pride…..always seems to happen on a big rugby weekend !

Marstons old empire for me!! (12 if i try my bestest…)

al surely that is the quintessential STW ale !!!!

Catching up on my beerbods subscription… River Cottage Stinger and Butts Barbus Barbus. Then onto Budvar and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

The double is better, IMHO.

STW loves a double…and at 10.5% the bash will follow soon after

Polish here: Lech, Zywiec and Tatra (made using only the purest water from the Tatran Mountain range) 😯

@patriotpro, good choice! Do the right thing and slice up kabanos as a side accompaniment 8)

Slumming it a little this evening, Leffe whilst I finish some work and a cheapo bottle of Pinotage Shiraz for when I’m done.

Kabanos tip noted ´fenred´ nastrovje! 😉

Cheap red wine and stewed shin of veal

Mmmmmm fauxrusticclassworld

Just finishing an average bottle of rioja.

An update on the cheapo Pinotage Shiraz…

Not great. Still, I’ll mtfu and struggle through.

Guinness export

Hoegaarden for me tonight.

Pushed on through with a bottle of VDP d’Oc. Way better than the £6 price tag and cheesy label with a grinning Frenchie on it would suggest.

EDIT – always a concern when the label tells you more about the other wines they make…but it’s a goodie.

My local is new brewing its own beer 8) Lasts nights tap was “wheat trial”, not my favourite style usually but i really enjoyed a few of them… I like beer.

messiah, where is your local……always like a ale trip. 😀

Ton, its the award winning Marine Hotel in Stonehaven up in North East Scotland… probably a long way to go for a beer!

Day early, but I’ve a stupid o’clock flight to catch from Edinburgh Saturday.

Arran – blonde

Ozujsko in Zagreb. Its not Friday though?
