Beer?

[rich p]

Ah! Interesting advice, but that one comes in a MAHOOSIVE bottle, with a price tag to match. So it's not in the running for now, and the ride home would be, well, interesting...

£5.60!!!!
Get a pint of decent real ale and stop poncing about with bottled fizz!

I've already got one. But there's not much of it left. The Kernel is 9.6%, so is arguably worth two ornery beers...

Hmmm, drinking bottled beer in a pub is a pretty poor show

Right, Beerpeeps! I need your guidance. I'm in the Urban Tap House in Cardiff having a pint of Untapped Eclipse bitter. Which is quite nice, and verging on the sensible, but they have all kinds of bottled beers, not many of which can be obtained in Swansea. There's one that looks as if it's from the same brewery as the one pictured by DP just above - called Raad & Daad. Nice typography. But what has caught my eye is Kernel IPA, which I seem to recall being mentioned more than once by some of you lot as a bit of a corker. Really I should finish the pint I'm on and go back to Swansea, especially as I have to pick up my bike from the office on the way back and don't have a front light due to a brief swap yesterday. But I'm tempted to have Just One More Beer first. It's £5.60 for a teeny bottle! I'm pretty skint. If I buy it, will I be glad I did?

I'm always doing that. Whenever I can't find a sock, I guarantee it's wrapped up in my briefs. Never lost a front light like that though.

Who do you usually swap yours with?

These days, I'm not picky.

Halcyon from Thornbridge. Fantastically smooth ale.

Wasn't planning to have one this evening, but got hit by some arse car driver yacking on his phone on the way home, so figured a sharpener was in order.

So how was it, TC?

FFS! Hope you are OK, DP.

Blimey! Have two.

So how was it, TC?

I didn't drink it . I had misread the shelf and it turned out to be £6.70 a bottle! Not that it might not be worth it, but I was psychologically unable to pay £7 for a half of beer. I blame @rich p. I will work myself up to the extravagance by saving pennies in a tin or something. I am in Cardiff quite a lot. The good news is that on another shelf that I couldn't see when I posted before there were a load more of these De Molen beers with the nice labels. Most of them were silly prices as well, and one was £11! But I will need your full guide to the whole range when I go back.

It wasn't very serious, Saw him coming and managed to get mainly out the way, so he only clipped my back wheel. I stayed upright and am unscathed along with my bike.

Good excuse for a couple school night beers though!

My sanity is preserved!
Resist the obvious retort TC

DeMo dark beers are nectar - buy buy buy. I've been at a 'do' in that London tonight and all I got was Becks and Peroni at £5.50 a bottle, I'd have paid double for a proper beer.
