My son has just brought me a tall Advocaat with lemonade.

It’s a bit of alright. 🙂

Malbec here.

Port and brandy.

Sure to give me a heavy head tomorrow, but what the heck.

I’ve partaken of a couple of Baileys laden Latte’s this afternoon as a starter.

A 2010 Planella for me.

Nowt til the sun is over the yard.

I was going to have a couple of pints in my local with some friends but after standing at the bar for well over 10 minutes waiting and then them serving people who’d got to the bar after me I’m now drinking a Dead Pony Club at home before moving on in a bit to a bottle of red over tea.

I’m at my lovely sister’s house for Chrimble, looking forward to being royally looked after.

Just been given a glass of wine before my home-cooked ham tea, and it’s cheap, medium-sweet horror.

My sister’s lovely, but what the actual…

Mulled cider for now Port soon.

I’ve a selection of ales to sample, it’s great working over the road from a bottling company!

Thornbridge Jaipur

Advocaat with lemonade.

I shall maybe have a snowball too but prefer a shot of brandy and bitter lemon instead of lemonade in mine. Ah, happy childhood memories, that’s when the drinking started 🙂

Crossbill and Fever Tree here 🙂

Whiskey, Laphroiag (sp) some special cask Waitrose had on offer.

I name this years Xmas a,Whiskey Xmas.

Hic.

Having a turkey Xmas dinner with all the trimming at my mums right now so no alcohol as I have to drive home, but once I get home later it will be bushmills and water.

Zinfadel at the moment but definitely Malbec next!

Spitfire gold. A decent Malbec I’ve somehow managed to save once the cheese comes out.

A glass or two of brandy while I make dinner (well I forgot to put the Manzanilla in the fridge). Could get messy.

tea, since I want to reduce my chances of having a migraine tomorrow!

A couple of beers done, 10yo Tawny Port was decanted a couple hours ago and awaits the cheese selection to join it once the kids go to bed.

A pint of Shropshire Gold from one of those modern Party Seven contraptions. Once I’d read the instructions I managed to get beer rather than froth…

Had a jolly nice Malbec last night that my folks brought down from Aldi (or could have been Lidl).

Ginger Maria. (or could be Tia Beer!)

Sounds rubbish but tastes fantastic! Ginger Beer and Tia Maria over ice. Cant get enough! hic!

I’m slowly working my way through a bottle of sherry I bought for the trifle!

Taylor port for the next few days then Cockburns port … 😀

Will soon be a glass of 1965 single estate Taylors port i picked up in the wine society earlier. I hope it will be every bit as good as it cost.
Glass will be raised to my departed dad on his grandsons first xmas

A bottle of Savours – Dubbel, to be followed by a Wiper & True – Plum Pudding Porter.

Jabali, biere d’hiver. we’ve got 80 pints to get through!!

Not decided but probably whisky tonight and crack the seal on the barica aged grappa from FiL tomorrow

Water. This week long food poisoning has left me somewhat incapable of drinking anything but water and only very bland food. Its going to be torture tomorrow.

Onto the third bottle of champagne (shared between Mum and Girlfriend!) already. We’ll carry on like this until boxing day.

Wadsworth Swordfish here

“A unique blend of Wadworth beer and Pusser’s Navy Rum. Brewed to support the 100 year anniversary of the Fleet Air Arm, but now available all year due to its growing popularity. With a gentle rum aroma and dark, unrefined sugar adding a rich smoothness, it is a full-bodied, deep copper coloured ale with a base of crystal malt and delicate Fuggles and Goldings hops. A very nice pint!”

Kicking off with….

And, for later, some finery from the nice folks at Red Cat Brewing.

Timothy Taylor Landlord

I believe I shall have another very soon as well.

Lemsip

Possibly a snifter of Talisker Storm later, but I wish I’d bought a bottle of port.

I could pick any of the cognacs or whiskeys on the shelf, maybe a nice IPA but no I’m on the Lensip’s too.

Tequila

Just sampling some real ales from the Leighton Buzzard brewery ,I did buy them as a present 😳
