Beer?

[rich p]

Foolishly* for a lightweight like me, I had a bottle of Late Knights Morning Glory after 'work'. An unusally nice bottled bitter. Followed by a couple of those draught bitters in the Zoo (a local boozer full of animals), which don't name the brewer. Dunno if they're smallish suppliers to different pubs or big suppliers hiding their identity.
It was a tolerably good English trad bitter.

*Meaning I'll need a nap before heading out to the Cleveland for some Harveys later. I may not wake up for Santa's visit.

A peculiar German (maybe European, I don't know) contraption, that spins all the usual nativity characters at a rate which would cause nausea in the hardiest fairground rider; well until the candles burn down.

....or until something gets in the mechanism, the rotation stops and the paddles singe.

My parents were in Germany for a few years in the late 60s, and we had a lot of German-influenced Christmas things. Including candles burning on the Christmas Tree.

A lively pour this one...

He's back!

As for Mrs M and I, we're resisting breaking into the beer we've put away for our boxing day guests. Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you for your bibulous discourse this year.

Late Christmas present for my sis. The girl doesn't know she's born...

(That's a 750ml bottle. I'm not a cheapskate!)

Late Christmas present to myself. I'm worth it...

(Imperial stout aged for 9 months in bourbon barrels. 12% abv)

Some tinnies for the boy. Kind of wish I'd checked the abv first...

(7.4%, if you were wondering)

Warming up for midnight mass...

(NB not really - I haven't been to midnight mass for 25 years)

Happy Christmas, you bunch of feckin' pissheads!

My nephew's name is Tom Petty, as it happens. Carry on.

Just had a Stone Brewing Co Thunderstruck IPA.
At the risk of being deemed derivative...

...very nice.

Hey DP , my lovely boy Haas bought a crate of DeMo! And the elegant glass. My cup runneth over, not literally

Christmas beer gift from my mum and dad, remarkably decent effort. Even more remarkable in that my brother was in charge of getting them and he thinks anything that is not Magners is not worth drinking

I was on the Adnams Southwold webpage today (I cannae remember how I ended up there as I am sure I started off searching for something that had nothing to do with beer!) and was wondering if they were any good. Now I'll find out from your comprehensive poncey review.
