[patricks148]

Aldi pinot gris, very nice

 

[Fade and Die]

Opened a bottle of Zacapa Rum a client bought me. Really very very nice.

 

[Peluqui]

Trivento Malbec 😀

Me too - slainte mhath

 

[Voyager EMH]

Hardy's Shiraz 14%

 

[BrianM]

Just poured a dram from a year 2000 bottle of Oban distillery, absolutely terrible 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Kellfire]

Somehow I’ve found myself opening an imperial stout; aged in bourbon barrels and with added maple syrup.

Went for lunch.. both decided to have a large glass of a Merlot. Waitress said, for a couple of quids more we could get the bottle of Shiraz instead + the Shiraz was better. If we can’t finish the bottle, we could take it home. Turned out she was right - though we finished the bottle

No doubt late to the party, but discovered Beavertown Neck Oil last night. Few pints washed down the tapas a treat.

Just poured a Flanders red style beer that’s had sour cherries added for a more rounded flavour. Bloody lovely.

Much like the lambic kriek that I am a big fan of after spending several months working in Brussels.

Lambic is such an amazing and broad style of beers. I have amassed quite the collection of Cantillon, 3Fonteinen, Tilquin, de Cam, Tommie Sjef and others over lockdown.

There are some amazing British breweries doing similar wild styles these days; Burning Sky, Holy Goat, Mills, Donzoko.

It’s a very good time to be into beer!

Sadly due to a liver problem, I am off the drink for now.
I have a little collection of various Krieks to dive in to when I am allowed though.

Also got a few of Lindeman’s Cassis which should be nice and sour.

Godspeed on your liver bouncing back!

Just poured an imperial stout that’s been aged in rum barrels for twelve months with Tahitian vanilla pods.

Had to Google that. Is it the Field House Brewing one? If so, where did you source it? Sounds good but I can't find anywhere online that sells it in the UK.

It was this one but you’ll probably struggle to find any of it now, I think it sold out on launch.

Brewed less than 10 miles from where I was born and grew up and I've never heard of the brewery. 😳
Thank you.

Thank you.

The two collaborating breweries are both small, no shame in not knowing.

A glass of wine with dinner,
and pour of Sambuca into my after dinner coffee will probably it.

My tummy isn't what it used to be.
Not the loss of forty pounds making it a bit smaller,
but rather it just doesn't stay as calm under the assault of brew or spirits as it used to.

And to be fair to myself, I was mostly drinking snakebite when I left that part of the country, over 30 years ago.
