Tonight Matthew I'll have Jack Daniels.

What’s being imbibed tonight since the supermarkets have now gone price-bonanza crazy?

Also, can anyone clarify if the “buy 3 for £20” crates of beer deals are now outlawed in Scotland…i’m anticipating a busy New Year.

aha so its late enough to open a bottle now is it? i’m having Landlord and perhaps a wee drop of Highland Park 18 year old later on. cheers!

Buffalo Trace. (Yeeha!)

Late enough to open one…?

I’d phrase that as “Early enough to get pissed the continental way”. 🙂

I’ll have my Landlord next time I see him, extortionist!

Jack is a very good friend of mine, I see him regularly and he always helps when I need him.

Aww IvanDobski, an afficiando?

One must try Noahs Mill and 18yr Elijah Craig.

Divine.

Shall NOT be finding the Christmas Cigar Box…
Yet.

Have you tried Red Stag by Jim Bean?

🙂

Can someone stick that “not sure if serious” ‘ting up for iBaa?

🙂

Riggwelter and a bottle of Auzzie red for me in a little while.

so, one bottle of landlord in and starting to get that first pint feeling… this is going to end badly, i can tell….

On offer at Waitrose. Nice.

Spchantler

Match you, one for one?

I’m on two, get on with it.

Edit:Wait, drinking games on an internet forum… the end is nigh. We’ll be posting Youtube videos soon.

I was given a bottle of Gentleman Jack the other month. Any good?

Straight or mixed?

3 bottles of Hobgoblin tonight, after kid ferrying duties 😀

I can’t drink any JD neat, but that’s just me.

It is, however, very good. It’s all about the cola really, shame there’s no Fentiman’s around.

Badgers Golden Glory followed by JD Honey or perhaps a drop of 18 years old Glenfiddich. I’m sure they all go with chinese! 🙂

finish work at 8, followed by urban night ride (if it’s not totally lashing down) followed by Stella Artois and S&V crisps until I nod off sometime around 1.30 and then drag my arse to bed.
Love Friday night 🙂

Woodford Reserve is worth a go if you like a Bourbon. Tesco were doing it for £21 a couple of weeks ago.

cfinnimore -I’ve recently decided bourbon is the way ahead so working my way through them, Woodford Reserve is the fave so far with Makers Mark a close second. I’ll add your recommendations to the ever growing list…

Match you, one for one?

I’m on two, get on with it.
no, no, no! having said that….i’ve bypassed the 2nd beer and gone straight to the Highland Park, cheers!

I have a bottle of this….

And some ice.
Which is nice.

Maker’s Mark is the best bourbon you can get before you start spending silly money, IMHbutexperiencedO.

IvanDobski, if the situ. permits, get a bottle of Knob Creek for New Years.

You’ll remember to thank me on the third… of March, or something.

Agree with Cougar. Also,I’ve never taken to Woodfor Reserved …

Oh, bloody hell, Eagle Rare….

Can we talk about cigars yet?

Can we talk about cigars yet?

My humidor is rather bare at the moment, but I do have a few of these ready;

Partagas Serie D no4

A GLORIOUS smoke. I hope to have a very good reason to have one over coming days. 🙂

CFH .- What ABV is that Meantime IPA? Is it really in a 750ml ‘Champagne’ bottle?
Is it good? proper hoppy and Pale and smooth all at the same time ?

Been doing some product evaluation on a special we are brewing for the next 3 months . Its only 3.8% , but super hoppy and blonde.
First mouthful of the first pint gives you a ‘ Crikey ‘ this isnt right , then it mellows out and sweetens.

I could think of better things to smoke 8)

Red Chimay, this evening.

Needed to get some beer in for the weekend, and slightly disappointed to find I couldn’t get 80/- (either Caledonian or Belhaven) in the supermarket…

Andy

Ah mine is a good slug of sailor jerrys with coke. 🙂
Would recommend to all the JD drinkers!

Red wine and ‘smoking’ 😉

Oddly enough I always always always have Sailor Jerry on the rocks.
Giggle.

Yo Jekyll, it’s not 4.20 bra, gotta sticker the liqor :-p.

On the cigar front, a Romeo mini every.single.time.

7.4% and a full 750 of sublime IPA. Hoppy, rich and delicious but still very refreshing. Seek it out!

“developing flavour” beers are ace! I had a half the other day of a Mikkeler Black Tequila Speyside. Black imperial stout, 6 months in a tequila barrel then 6 in a Speyside whisky barrel. Wow. It just kept growing and developing.

but super hoppy and blonde.

ah now then, even tho tonight i’m on landlord, i’ve recently been back to the dark side with winter coming and that. blonde and hoppy has been the default choice for a while but had some lovely dark ones last night. can singletrackworlders recommend any?

That Meantime IPA is great. Got a nice Chatteauneuf Du Pape on the go at the moment, may have a drop of Ledaig later.

can singletrackworlders recommend any?

Dark winter loveliness? Why yes…

🙂

CFH I was going to ask about your ‘special reason’ when I saw your first post. No movement yet? Go for a hot curry and a long walk, I think you both have to do it not just you.

Anyway I got my first bottle of scotch of the season today, a bottle of Black Grouse. I have two big bottles of Leffe to drink first. And also a curry maturing on the hob but Mrs Ache has fallen asleep on the sofa so no curry for a while if at all tonight.

Thanks! All under control, and all is well! More as and when, but suffice to say, when it happens, smoke and drink ’em if you’ve got ’em! 🙂

Brockville Dark by Tryst, winter-beverage hunters.

Also, Orkney Brewery Stout.

i’ve just burnt the dinner. i’m blaming you lot.

Good stuff. After my first I got home at 4am and needed a drink before bed. Crazy stuff.
