Alcohol consumption during lockdown

[TheBitch]

I’ve been starting every day when The Chase comes on. 

Then an E some time around 8. 

 

Apart from weekends when I start much earlier and finish much later. 

[Grinch]

 

Essentials from today's shop. 

[cochyn]

Ahh, feckin' hell. Missus has only gone and had this delivered today:

 

This, some ice and tunes on in the front room beckons. See you on the other side boys!

Cranberry Juice?

 

[Grinch]

Her idea, dunno what cosmos are but I like them

[Lee909]

9hrs left on my shift. 

Then I shall begin. Though I do have some Bulliet bourbon and a hip flask in my bag

[ElishaScottBC]

Everyday.

 

Until normality resumes.

 

Cheers.

Alternating nightly between red wine,gin and tonic,mount gay rum and coke.

[TheBitch]

I should probably go to bed, but, you know, self isolation and all that bollocks.

My heads sore

I’ve been hitting the booze, hard. 
 

So I’ve decided quality over quantity needs to be observed. Banged in for some Craft ale

There's a really good brewery down the road from me (https://www.wildcardbrewery.co.uk) that is doing free same day local delivery, so in spite of it being expensive I too have gone down the quality over quantity route. Mrs Waffle is currently 5 months pregnant, so I am drinking for 3 (or something).

[RJ Fan club]

in answer to Remmie, not idea why it didn’t quote you...
 

 

The 4th picture, yeah. £5, then you have to phone to cancel.

 

but when you try to cancel online they give you a discount if £5 for next months and offer an upgrade of two better 440ml cans for free, if you take ten per month in the future (but this costs more)

 

which I’ve done, but will cancel next month.

 

so that’s 18 decent enough beers, and 2 snacks for £25. 
 

The first few pictures were Direct from Pressure Drop. 15 cans of high quality NEIPA. Not cheap like 

 

I also got a delivery from Purefour, which I’ve not photographed. 
 

I’ll be fine for a week or two, longer if I can temper my consumption

I’ve had some of their stuff, they sell it in the craft section in Tesco, I expect you can get better variety and fresher items than that though given your proximity

Fancy a half price Mikkeller Beer Club code? 
 

It’s a closed shop normally, but some idiots have cancelled and freed up some space. Genuinely amazing stuff you’ll never get anywhere else.

It's relatively standard fare really, but we often went to their tap room before...you know, and it just feels good to support a local brewery. I did also accidentally order a mixed case from Flavourly, and have a home brew ready to go, so I should be set for a bit.

Sounds good, PM me the code and link.

 

presume they deliver in the UK and that’s not currently disrupted?

 

what’s the damage per month Brucie?

They deliver around the first of each month.

 

Cost wise its pricy, but I think worth it, especially with the half price code. About £60, dependent on currency fluctuations, so £30 for the first.

 

Some of the stuff though is out of this world.
 

You can cancel after the first one so you’re all good.

 

I’ll send over.

Yeah I've been on the beer 52 aggressive promotions gravy train for a couple years now. Been a few months since they did a free case tempt back offer

Their ‘beer fest’ box is great and you should get on it, some genuinely awesome beer in there and a bargain.

 

You don’t have to participate in the talks so don’t worry.

The Boundary beer is worth the price of admission alone! 

 

 

[Lee909]

Got up hour ago

Bacon, chicken and leek bake in the oven and a Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask  just poured.

Havana Club is ace, big fan of their 7 year dark rum. 

 

If that's not nicknamed H Club 7, then it should be.
