after reading and pondering this thread , it’s diluting lemon and fizzy water for me !

Belgium Abbaye de vauclair triple (8%+) gets the job done very very quickly

Just opened a bottle of Ventoux

A 4e 2013 Crouseille Madiran. Excellent, with a longer cork it would be worth keeping a few years.

Nowt.im driving and refitting a stove . Rock and roll

Just had a glass of chilled English Pale Ale and thinking I’ll open a bottle of Majestic Definition Rioja next.

( highly recommended btw, by better qualified people than me!)

Lanson. And we have a desert wine with the desert of course.

pushing the boat out, ive had a bottle of corrs light

A drop of Viognier with my prawn and pea risotto.

Few glasses of red for me

Whilst cooking and eating dinner, did away with 3 black sheep that were discounted from co-op. Now I’m apparently a bad person.

Don’t be silly, you can tell from that thread that drinking is big and clever.
Last glass of Merlot to finish off the bottle. Might pop back to Lidls for another few bottles so I fit in.

Just cracked open a bottle of [yellow tail] Shiraz.

I always buy screw top so’s I only have to have a couple glasses….

Rock and Roll!

I’m 3 fingers into this ATM.

On a Belgian Reus beer now; it’s going very well- think I will be a bad person soon…

Couple of Duvels, maybe a splash of red a little later.

One of these for in the middle…

Harviestoun’s The Ridge. Never tried it before, but I’ve got some Joker IPA for later

Ossett Brewery Treacle Stout and maybe a Hobgoblin. Perhaps a shot of Glenlivet too, it is Saturday night after all

Minor psa, I am test driving Lidl’s Bruin/doubel belgian brown ale stuff. Patrous I think it’s called. 6.5% £4.99 for 4x330ml. Not bad, does taste a wee bit sharper than say Leffe or similar. Booze is a bit more obvious, but not bad.

Coffee …

Then Beefeater gin and tonic.

Long shift, up early and contemplating assembling a vacuum cleaner.

Whisky?

had a free pint of Goose something at draft house, pretty good
now trying mcewans champion whisky edition. I wont try it again

What about that lad and his missus with the drink problem from earlier in the week

Pished I would say. You know what alcos are like.

K cider,

the ‘K’ stands for King of,

Buckfast and Tesco dark rum.

Can barely see 🙂

called into a pub in Leeds this afternoon, The House Of Favours.
the beer was crap. 1 pint of araura which was sour. 1 pint of leeds pale which was watery and a pint of gathering storm stout, which was far too cold.

gonna hit the jura superstition, which i dont really like, to drown my sorrows.

Just knocking back a 2016 caffeine free diet coke, living on the edge!

scoob67 wins the thread

is that some kind of hipster cocktail?

Medal winning Red Burgandy, decent value for £10 direct from grower (bought in March on way back from the Alps 🙂 )

Wines. That is all.

Poachers Choice, Innis and Gunn rum finish as an appetizer.

Six degrees north, four saison

Excellent choice. Local wine shop couldn’t sell his ventouse stock because people didn’t understand how good it wa, s was forced to sell if off -50% so I snapped it up. I am his only vwntiux customer!

Aussie Shiraz blended wit merlot and straight shiraz. New purchases and drunk over chilli and bridge with ILs !!! Oddly the straight Shiraz was smoother and better than the blend, Not what I was expecting, Too much for early morning tennis 🙁

A couple of pints of Exmoor Ale over the pub, a finger or so of what’s left of my Caol Ila 1991 Signatory Vintage at home listening to the new Kate Bush Before The Light album.
Living the life! 😀

Couple of schooners Colonial pale ale from the growler, bottle of Sunner kolsch and a decent slug of Dalwhinnie. Running out of the Dalwhinnie though which is a bit sad. Celebrating Thanksgiving today with the American outlaws so have a selection of US beers chilling.
