Beer?

Kölsch, lots of kölsch. Bit of jazz too.

@theclaud would've been proud of us!

Neither one of those old boys is me btw!

I thought I'd give this, weird additives that shouldn't be in beer thing, one more go.

Samuel Smiths organic chocolate stout

Not so much drinking as eating, It's rare I don't finish beer but this could be one of those occasions. I'm wishing i hadn't bought another with coffee and chocolate in now. My dalliance with this kind of brewing is now over. Of course it does get good reviews online but not for my palate.

Their oatmeal stout is first rate - highly recommended.

Aye, I saw that. Might be one for a future test but I'll probably head for a different category next, not really tried many IPA's for instance, despite everyone doing one.

Blackthorn Cider. Not too bad at all - hopefully it'll make a nice Snakebite when mixed with some Kronenburg, I might even add a dash of blackcurrant.

I gave up on the other one

Dark Star Espresso: It's won awards.....I didn't like it. I may join Marmers on the snakebite, minus blackcurrant.

I found that one a bit much. I did finish the bottle, but I wouldn't buy it again. As 3BM says though, the Oatmeal Stout is excellent.

Looks fun - there could be beer!

Its just a massive pissup so far as I can tell.

Carnaval's a big deal in that area of Germany and in S Holland too: my S Holland colleagues are completely "uncontactable" for the entire week. Mind you, its a bit of a N/S divide kind of thing. Most peeps where I am refuse to have anything to do with it.
