Beer?

[rich p]

Teef posted a picture of these Beer Savers caps a while back and I though they'd be a bit of fun for Mrs 3BM's beer as it oft takes her 2 nights to finish a bottle. Bought these off the 'bay and I think they might be cheap knock-off. The first one lasted an hour or so before the pressure popped it off towards the heavens, fecked if I can find it! So I've adopted this fail-safe method to ensure there's no more of this nonsense. Think I'll go back to slamming the caps back on...

I've got one of those vacuum caps for wine bottles which might work better.
I use it if I can't quite finish the second bottle...

You reminded me, I think I've got a set of those, never been used and still in the original packaging - they'll be in a cupboard with a lot of other useless shïte.

I have a drawer full of useless shíte that might come in handy one day.
Packets of Viagra, Alcoholics Anonymous business card, bottles of Newcastle Brown and stuff...

I'm not sure if they travel?
Harveys Best bitter but draught is the best way to drink it.
Dark Star Hophead may be available up your way?
As I know from experience, you we will lower our standards in extremis

Booths stock Dark Star's fine ales.

If the Newcastle Brown has been brewed in Tadcaster as opposed to Gateshead, you could try using it in slug traps though I think they'd chose to die by ingesting slug pellets. The stuff is so repellant.

The cap reads:
"Stone Brewing makes aggressive beer...good news for those tired of the fizzy yellow stuff."

8.2% 100 IBU. Not overbearingly hoppy. A good foil for Butter Fingers peanut bars. Best drunk from small bottles, larger ones will warm up and the pleasantness deteriorates.

I'm heading for the San Juan Islands tomorrow incentivised by running out of new varieties of beer to sample at my host's local store.

I resorted to drinking pineapple cider - definitely time to move on.

Tastes of pineapple with undertones of apple. A once in a lifetime experience.

Pint of this, if I'd know the brewery was owned by Heineken I wouldn't have bothered, it's very nearly Heineken...

Edit: I was told it was, have looked it up and it appears to be independent, still dull tasteless beer though.

Edit, edit: maybe I'm being unfair, it might be perfectly acceptable but poorly kept.

The red star on the can indicates a 'Fridays' beer. As in...it has a weak end attached to it.
