About £7-8 each which isn’t a bad price considering you get four pints in them. Some of the more exotic ones, such as 8-10% Belgian beers are more expensive like, but the majority work out less than £2 a pint I’d say. They have quite good deals on as well most of the time. 
 

You pay postage on them unless you order a box of eight which is free postage. That’s probably what I’ll do and go halves on the order with my brother or one of my mates. 

Fair enough, they've come down a lot since I last checked

Had a session on Doombar yesterday afternoon, been a while since I’ve had a session on ale but really enjoyed it. 
 

The fact it was free helped too.

Anyone looking to give, or receive, a nice Christmas present should have a look at ‘The Sub’ machines on Beerwulf. 
 

Basically a draught beer machine, you buy 2L kegs called Torps which fit into the machine and it cools them down to 2 degrees and you just pour your own pint as and when you want it. Couple of my mates and my brother have got one and the beer is lovely out of them so the Mrs has got me one for Christmas. 
 

Do tons of different types of beer too from common ones like Heineken, Birra Moretti and CruzCampo to IPAs, wheat beers and 8% abbey beers. They’re normally £109 for the machine but on offer at the minute for £99.99 with four free torps of either Heineken or Birra Moretti.

This really is the absolute dogs bollocks. Got four pints of a German wheat beer for it for £8.49, absolutely lovely. Easily as nice as a pint of Erdinger in a pub.

How long does it take the little keg to get cold enough? 
 

Was back up north the other week and saw some Banana Bread Beer in Speke Morrison’s. Had to pick a couple of bottles up and bring them home because I haven’t seen them in any of the supermarkets near ours for a couple of years at least.

It keeps it chilled to 2 degrees, the machine can do it itself from room temperature but it can take a while so you stick the keg in your fridge for a couple of hours and it only takes about 30 seconds after you’ve put it in until it’s ready then it will keep it at that temp.

Sounds decent. I’m not drinking enough at the moment to make having one worthwhile but I could be tempted if the price comes down a bit more.

Just found a couple of cans of Sapporo at the bottom of the fridge. Fantastic beer. Like the old UEFA cup.

Deals on beers, no idea if the beers are any good though...

What are people's thoughts on the correct temperature for golden real ales? I'd had them at room temp but have started to keep them in the garage.

Horses for courses, but as a rule I like them just below room temperature.

I can't drink any alcohol apart from spirits below anything other than ice cold. The thought of lukewarm real ale is making me gag.

Don't drink much wine to be honest but I'd stick it in the fridge if I did. I'm cold like that.

Elvis juice by Brewdog is very nice.6.5%,an IPA with a grapefruit infusion.

Two packs of four for £10 in morrisons at mom.

Ship and Mitre are doing 20 bottles (500ml) for £50 delivered. Picked up a German mix (you can specify your own beers) and had some dropped off yesterday. Hofbrau, Erdinger and Paulaner were staple choices of mine and asked the fella to throw some recommended beers in which he has. Going to open a few over the weekend and save some for a certain celebration in a couple of weeks.

Did you get any Köstritzer? 

[Raymond Duck]

I got an order off Tiny Rebel the other day, mostly to get the limited edition Stay Puft releases. Waffle and Candied Bacon, Praline, espresso martini, coconut cream, 9%, not for a school night.

 

The normal marshmallow porter is really excellent.

That post has made me thirsty. It’s been a while since I drank blonde ale. I could go for a Leffe or a Blue Moon now. 
 

Is Innis & Gunn still being stocked at Tesco?

[Elite]

I might sound as thick as fuck (Which may be true) but is one 9% can the equivalent to two 4.5% cans or even more as it's less diluted?

 

[RedKnight]

12 pack of Brooklyn Beer for £10 in B&M. You get three different types in there too.

 

I've got Tiny Rebel's Key Lime Lager on order but APC have, again, lost the package.

You will still get just as drunk, just 9% will be quicker than 2 x 4.5%.

Reckon I'd drink the 9% one slower than the 4.5% two.

Would you drink the better tasting one faster or slower?

Probably slower. Drinking very strong beer at the same speed you neck pints is a terrible idea though.
