Far too many glasses of Picpoul de Pinet last night, off to the curry house for round 2 in a bit and a few Tiger beers. Good to finally have a xmas catch up with my Dad
Picpoul de Pinet seems to be a current favourite of my wife and daughter...

Moi - it was Perlenbacher 0.0 from Lidl - perfectly adequate and quite like Heinekan 0.0 (which is good) but cheaper - and Brooklyn Special Effects (Alcohol Free) - which is actually challenging for the best low/no I have tasted.

Following a couple of beers this afternoon I opened a bottle of white Baron de Ley Rioja. HID's not a big drinker, which means I get a second glass. Will probably finish the night with pate on toast and a brandy... living the dream.

Chickens just gone in the oven, think we have a south african chenin blanc to accompany :)

There's plenty in there to go around. Went down lovely with the chicken stew and dumplings

Aviator Gin, Ryan Reynolds brand. Tastes like any other gin to me, philistine that I am ?. Anyway in sympathy with Hobbit and his neighbour's I decided to pour myself a Spanish measure ??. Cheers all ?

The village pub have been selling beer off at £1.50 a pint, a bring your own bottle type of affair.
The neighbour has just brought me round the worlds largest bottle of Moretti foc, must be 8 pints in there.
Oh yes, tonight I will mainly be drinking Moretti ?

I really like the Lidl alcohol free beer

Well, this evening I am enjoying an excellent glass of sparkling water from Chateau Aldi with a slice or two of lime... Tomorrow I am planning to vary it a bit with a swap to lemon slices...

Proper pushing the boat out here...

Our local Aldi still had some Banks bitter in stock at 89p a bottle, so got some of them in, Mrs A will be drinking wine. Always buy beer in Aldi (and their whiskey is great too) - had some Doom Bar last weekend.

Attacking the low hanging fruit whilst it’s early.. Sampling a simple Citra IPA from Robinson’s.
Going to break into a nice bottle of Parra Alta Argentinian Malbec in an hour or so.

Started on Singha, Warsteiner next, now just finished my bottle of Tanquery #10
Warsteiner my 'current favourite' - just the right balance!

Warsteiner also my current preferred beer. Waitrose, my closest/simplest source - if £1 per 3 more expensive than Tesco - also doing some deals on Rustenberg wines - Chardonnay particularly to my taste! Finding the slightly ho-hum/thin (but so what, reduced price and still appropriate) Chianta to go with Pasta & Sauce that I took 10 mins to make last night pretty much ok too!

Even better on draft. I worked in a boozer years ago, it sold like nothing else. God knows what it's like in Germany.
