I liberated one of those glasses from a pub many years ago. I only drink water out of it though.

 

I highly recommend a Camden "Jack", beer just taste better out of it.

Monday to Friday,,,,,,none.

 

Today did some jobs in the yard then Slayer, Black Sabbath.Metallica and 8 cans.

 

Watched Nordic drama on BBC4 and 2 very passable bottle of Reserve Cider from Spar.

 

I'll probably have a load tomorrow with a load more tunes then knock it off for the week.

Large espresso martini? Yeah alright then.

The missus and I decided to make home-made maragritas out of fruits we had that we can't possibly eat. Here's the recipe because; margaritas:

 

1 part freshly squeezed lime juice

1 part freshly squeezed pink grapefruit

2 parts sugar syrup

1 part cointreau

2 parts Tequila

 

add ice, shake, pour into a glass with a salted rim.

 

Thing is grapefruits are quite big and we had three of them. So everything else had to be scaled up to keep the mix right. We even drove 20 miles to get a bag full of limes.

 

Man, I totally forgot how hard tequila cunts me in the bastard.

These were drank last night and genuinely one of them is the best beer I think I’ll ever taste, perfection.

It's a sad day - no more pub. "This house is clean" 

 

I could, If I wanted to, go to the wholesalers but I'd have to get a fresh barrel, get it in me car, get it out and in the cellar, so its all over. The thought of going to the hospital with a pulled back due to trying to lift a beer barrel into a pub, is something I don't fancy. Plus the Guinness barrel is a lot bigger as well, so, that its.  Great while it lasted but its 100% house from now on in.

 

Going to go old school today, get some gear and do some fuck buckets. Immaculate!

Big day there lid

[Raymond Duck]

I’ve just bought a perfect draft, I’m treating myself. 

[Pureblood]

All these fancy IPA crafty this and that poncy-named new age beers can fuck off as I'm far as I'm concerned.  Hey look, it has a stupid name and artwork like an Alex Grey album sleeve for the latest insipid Tool record.

 

Give me a straightforward ice-cold Heineken any day. 

[Spy Bee]

I've been mostly off it for a fortnight now as it was getting to easy, but just bought 96 bottles of Peroni and 10 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc from a pub that is selling off it's stock, so that should get me through the weekend.

One of the worlds great beers. For some reason it is ridiculously expensive here compared to other imports but well worth it. 

[Remmie]

I think it's Lidl that do a blag Peroni called Rossini and I can't taste any difference, 500ml bottles and being Lidl a lot cheaper

@Remmie You can get these two in Tesco for 3 quid a pop.  The Brewdog is surprisingly good (obvs due to the Cloudwater collab).  They've a couple of more  Brewdog collabs for the same price too. 

 

I'm just off to Tesco now to see if they have any of that North stuff left.

It’s shite. It’s a bit more palatable than bargain basement lagers like Fosters and Carling but if you’re prepared to pay well over the odds for it then the beer choices where you live must be awful.

Lidl here do Veltins for 50c a can which is a bargain for decent German beer. It is nicer than Heineken at twice the price. 

 

Not been drinking much beer but got a load of Hertog Jan in now, also got 6 Affligem Tripels.

It’s very drinkable! 
Aldi do a version too that’s equally as nice.

This Peroni is miles better than the (green-bottled, white labelled) Peroni "Nastro Azzuro" they charge about $15 a pint for.

The North stuff (Lost Cosmonauts) is ace for the money. I’ve had twice as expressive DDH that’s aren’t as good. 
 

The Brewdog/Cloudwater collab is very decent too, but the North Brewery stuff is better imo. 
 

If you’re going to Tesco, keep an eye out for some Salt Ikat, My Tesco doesn’t sell it yet. Those in the north and London do apparently (I’m South Downs/Brighton) so not quite there yet. This is it... supposedly excellent

£100 for 96 bottles with a month left on the dates. Happy with that.
