Beer?

I am imagining that me and the 18th October 2015 may never become acquainted

Sounds like you had something else!

I'm stuck at my daughter's place with only Tyskies in the fridge. Luckily I fore-thought to bring a punk ipa as insurance against s-i-l's indifferent tastes.

Maybe you are known to 'polish' off the beer, and the frigo is stashed accordingly.

What we have here is a hot day and a lawn that needs mowing. I'm bound to work up a thirst so have a selection of beers in the fridge for when I'm done.

In no particular order:
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA
Marble Lagonda IPA
Marble Dobber IPA
The Kernel black IPA
Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA
Beavertown Neck Oil pale ale
Beavertown Black Betty black IPA
Beavertown Bloody 'Ell Blood Orange IPA
Beavertown 8 Ball IPA
Would like to say I'll report back but that's dependent on how much of this lot I drink.

I'd happily guzzle any of that lot. I'm just limbering up for a beer although it won't need to be a cold one due to a hot day as it's not very warm and looking like rain.

Poncey beer fever has gripped me.....

Today is our wedding anniversary so we're off to a nice restaurant. Mrs N has said we can pop into Glossop's poncey beer emporioum for a couple before the meal. Mrs N will be thinking about chilli squid, fillet steak, crème brulee etc etc.

All I can think of is Marble Dobber

Couldn't wait. Necked the Bloody 'Ell watching yesterday's TT racing. Had an awful feeling that this would taste like Tango. It does taste and smell of oranges but it's not as sharply citrus as I'd expected. It's slightly resinous, which I guess is coming from the citrus oil in the oranges. It went down pretty quickly so think I'll be having some more of this.

As far as marble glossary nonsense goes I can only conjure up aggie and keepsies so far.

I didn't know that. We tend to use "dobber" to describe all unusually large things

I remember "alley" (for coloured marbles) and "bollie" (for metal marbles) from my playground days

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, easier to drink than spell. Very nice, refreshing beer. Apparently been chucking beer out from this gaff for over a thousand years, seem to have got it about right.

Beavertown are just great - fantastic art work on the cans too. Haven't tasted the orange ne yet, but sounds good from your description!

Happy anniversary, it's ours as well and we are following suit re restaurant and non-poncey pub for real ale beforehand and after

From Wikipedia (so it must be right)
Dobber, Used in Scotland as a slang word referring to the male genitalia.
So, Marble Dobber = Dildo?
Over to you Marmion.

Smoked Maerzen from Jack's Abbey outta Massacchuussettts.

A U.S. take on Schlenkerla. Smells super frazzleicious!

Rubbish label though.

Dobber tends to be used in reference to people rather than referring to your knob or an object. e.g you would say "you're a f*ckin' dobber" when highlighting to 3BM that he has a few annoying traits, or "get tae f*ck ya dobber" when asking smeggers to stop pestering you to buy him a beer or "tak a look at they pair o' dobbers" when making reference to rich and crackle sitting having a beer at the corner table and not making eye contact with anyone.
