Beer?

[Dayvo]

I am on the train, trying not to drink the selection of Welsh beers I bought as a present for my dad. I hear a tempting bottley clink every so often. Doing well so far. Less than an hour to hold out. Get busy with the moral support.

Give in to temptation.

He won't notice the absent bottle from the selection.

You know you're going to give in, so don't waste time teasing yourself.

Afternoon at the beach spoilt by having to drive a car home. Would have been ideal to enjoy a couple of these Nøgne pale ales brewed with lemongrass. At least I have excellent company at home

You could take a bit of each one so's it won't be noticed.

Hello beerthread peeps. A little light Friday pub-quiz for you.

I want to give out four bottles of beer as prizes next week. As a confirmed corporate self-gratification artist I want one bottle to reflect each of four corporate values: Connected, Excellent, Caring, Responsible. The bottles must be relatively easily available near EC4 or in a supermarket - so no obscure Latvian smokebeers, please!

Bright ideas - or even just good jokes - will be rewarded.

Risky. I'm travelling without a bottle opener so would need to twat the tops off on the edge of something. Plus the bottles have been jiggled about a bit...

I'm glad you said the first bit of that so I didn't have to.

Have you tried these before? Only ever had bad experiences of lemongrass in beer. It's a bloody abomination.
Do let us know how you get on with it tho.

Connected - I'd look for a collaboration of some sort. The only one that springs to mind for me was very limited, sadly (Cheshire Brewhouse's "Stormy Point"), but there should be some out there.
Excellent - Just choose something good - Heavy Industry's 77, Jaipur, if you won't be pulled up for breaking the boycott, something like that.
Caring - Never had any, but Two Fingers brewery are in that London, and give all their profit to prostate cancer charities (http://twofingersbrewing.co/age-gate.php)
Responsible - Brewdog Nanny State, or Erdinger Alkoholfrei. (May not be popular with the "winner").

Can you not change Connected to Allied, Excellent to Superlative, change the order a bit to make C.R.A.S and just get them Stella?

Or combine excellent and superlative to laxative.

The Bonsai is good, if you don't mind.the small bottles. A collab between Arbor and Tiny Rebel.

Change Caring to Carling, sorted.

Post wedding anniversary review...............

Went to the beer emporium and had a Marble Dobber which was jolly nice. I wasn't sure what to try next. So I just yanked a bottle off the shelf and hoped for the best

8.5%.........8.farking 5 per cent. I fear my usual sparkling dinner convo was down the drain. Anyhoo....it was dead nice

I am quite pissed now

Edit - I've never had a "dopplebock" beer before. Apparently a lot of labels for these beers feature two goats. The reason is that "bock" also means "goat" in German. Double Goat.......those hilarious Germans

Sadly corporate branding gurus (think @zimzum42 but without the nihilistic lolz) would have my guts for garters.

I had the Alkoholfrei idea for Caring - I like the Carling idea too. Would dent the corporate bollocks nicely, and the person I've got it earmarked for can take that sort of joke.

My trip down to the local little Waitrose near the office suggested a 75ml bottle of Meantime IPA. Is it Excellent? I think I've had it before and reported on it in the thread, but my memory's a little rusty.
