Beer?

[John the Monkey]

Or all over the table which doesn't stop @Crackle

Poor Crackle. You try shredding a gnarly rail while pouring.

Food for thought for beerpeople - hot off the press, or stove...

All is explained, I wasn't sure if the Belfast blonde was a self-description or the beer.
Welcome to the beer thread!

the lack of well-trained bar staff

A boy behind the bar in my local poured from a bottle of Merlot into a pint pot the other week!

Please not "gruit" beer.

Is it a bit like tea?

It can only be a skip and a jump away...

Whatever, I'm off to M&S this weekend to stock up on Amarillo, Saison and a plango

The only ones I tried had bog myrtle in them. They weren't actually that bad, just not as good (to my taste at least) as hopped beers.

I think Williams in Scotland make a couple of beers with various herbs in them.

I'm on a dry January and whilst I am quite able to resist drinking alcohol for the month, I seem to be powerless to stop coming here. Addiction takes many forms

Fraoch is my one concession to beer with stuff in, it's not bad.

When I was little my mum bought a concoction from the chemist called 'bitter aloes'. It was rubbed on my fingers to stop me biting my nails. I'd lick it all off and bite my fingers anyway.

I think that might be where I started to develop my taste for beers like this one; Dysfunctional IPA. Brewed by a chick.

I'm told it's organic... Here's me thinking it was just cloudy. ("Here, boss, there's a punter downstairs says his beer's cloudy".... 'Tell him it's organic and charge him 50p extra"). [Edit: it's vegan, meh]

No quiz tonight; landlord's gone to Murrikah.

Sorry, Mossy, I feel I'm letting you down but I'm on the wagon tonight.

psssst, I'm actually having a glass of white wine but that's not really alcohol.
