Beer?

[Crackle]

Beavertown Black Betty, bit lively, looks like a regular @Crackle pour.

You forgot to 'like' the original post to show that your "**** off" was really just a bit of fun.

You'll never know if I just forget then.

I'm out of beer and the dog's developed a limp so we can't go the beer shop. Suspicious that.

I spotted a delightful beer on the supermarket shelves last night - it proclaimed 350 years of brewing excellence; Kronenbourg 1664. So I bought a 4 pack, and very reasonable priced as well. It's still on the shelf of the fridge. Should I save such a wonderful beer for a special occasion?

Why wait when you could flush it down the khazi right now.

Unable to get to the beer shop I went to bargain Booze but the choice was so poor I ended up buying the grapey stuff. Can you guess why I bought this one then?

You can blame the dog for this grape intervention.

It would be somewhat closer to the truth if they renamed it 1964.

Better still if they renamed it Shíte.

You're not trying to tell me that I've been had are you?

Hey if it was good enough to sponsor Le Tour...

A couple from a rare sojourn to the local (a Robinson's pub)

Indulgence (4.4abv)
A seasonal brew, available in November and December.

I really liked this - smooth, malty and rich, without being cloying or treacly. Not much edge from the hops, but that makes it all the better on a dismal winter night.

Unicorn (4.3abv)

I didn't like this as much as "Indulgence", but it's a nice pint none the less. The hops are to the fore in the taste, with the malt still present. The bitterness isn't as extreme as in a pale ale, making me think of this as something between a traditional bitter and a gold. Jolly nice, but if you've only time for one pint, get Indulgence. Or get half of each. Or stay in the pub a bit longer, and say your train was late. You get the idea.

Today, the large bottle of Innis and Gunn I was saving for December after ten weeks of not touching a drop exploded! It went with a real bang and fired glass everywhere in the kitchen including all over our two elderly cats who were enjoying their tea at the time.

Fragments of glass ended up many metres away. I have never heard of non home brew beer going bang before. Is this why beer is kept in cellars? My brother once had a pressure barrel of home brew burst causing astonishing levels of mayhem. The beer ironically was called Home Wrecker!

Be careful out there people!

I'd have to drink it by my 60th birthday then.

Guiness Foreign Extra for me.
