What are you drinking?

[Monkeys Fist 45838]

Quite a range indeed. What did you pick? 

[Tom 14113]

He’s got no right to shoot from there.

A few I've had before, several I haven't, plus the """G'n'T""" for the hell of it.

I can get it in all the supermarkets up here- certainly Sainsburys, Asda and Morrisons. 
Try online from one of them? 

[Alex 37327]

Try Goose Island IPA if you can’t get Sierra Nevada. Also in loads of supermarkets now

It’s not been at ocado for ages, can’t be arsed with the queues at my local Sainsbury’s. 
 

@Alex - I don’t mind Goose but it’s a bit heavy on the hops for my tastes, SN is more subtle. Have been drinking Camden Pale, which is at ocado and is a nice enough easy-drinking drop, though lacks the same depth.  

[Alex 37327]

Goose Island did another pale ale that was not quite as full on. Might have been one of their ‘seasonal’ ones that was a limited edition though. Their wheat beer is really nice too

Local Tesco sold that and it went down lovely. Also got a Northern Monk Faith.

Special Brew is pretty much the same as those two

Got one of them and it was alright, I suppose. Slightly more annoyed when I realised you have to ring them to cancel your subscription.

So, do you adopt a Praying Mantis stance to type on your set up?

That's the Mrs' setup, as you could tell if you could see the potted succulent and scented candle. Mine is out of shot to the left of the box of beer, a hint to the state of it is the scrawled notes on the notebook and the errant lead.

 

Northern Monk Brewery was where we celebrated our wedding. Yes, I successfully organised a piss-up in a brewery.

Me too. On several occasions.

Wor lass has been to B&M’s. I don’t drink much lager these days but when the fuck did Lowenbrau become 3.5% abv? I might as well drink Bass shandy 

Edited June 1, 2020 by Alex

[Monkeys Fist 45838]

The beers I bought from Northern Alchemy were both 3.9%. 
I know comparing them to Lowenbrau is a bit daft, but they’re fucking amazing beers, and I can have 3-4 glasses without tripping over the kids 

 

Piss weak beers are the way to go! 
 

( Having said that, I’ve just ordered a keg of 6.9% Oatmeal IPA from the same brewer, so bollocks to the above ). 

[Alex 37327]

Lowenbrau used to be ok though, for a bog standard continental lager. It’s tastes of fuck all now 

[Monkeys Fist 45838]

I blame the Jews. 
 

 

 

 

 

[Alex 37327]

I was at the takeaway the other day and I said to the bloke behind the counter - here mate do you ever get any Chinese Jews? He went out the back for about 30 seconds and came back and said - we only have apple juice and orange juice

It’s better with the accent. Just

[Renton 24205]

I think high abv nearly always improves taste, for lagers or IPA anyway. Stella Artois tasted much better when it was stronger. I was in the Rainforest cafe near piccadilly just before this kicked off. As an aside, it's shit and a rip off if you haven't been, resist going. Anyway, the Stella there was 3.5%! Fuck off man. 

 

Back in the day I remember as a student I tried to get pissed on Trent bitter. Think it was 3.5% abv. Impossible task, 15 cans later I was still sobre as a judge but needing the bog every 5 minutes. I don't think it's possible to get drunk on beer that weak.
