What are you drinking tonight?

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.

let us know if you need a hand with the Rioja ;)

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

Got introduced to the baron a couple of weeks ago .. he is a very nice fellow
 
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.

Yep Baron de Ley Rioja is on the table. Lovely stuff.
 
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.
