Beer?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I had a gentle ride with a friend out to Shoreham for lunch and despite my intention, I was unable to resist a half of Gales Spring Sprinter ( bursting with zesty hop flavours)
and a pint of Harveys.

Is that your little hat on the table or is it far away?

Friday night is Leffe brune night (plus view of Snake Pass in the background)

 

[Aperitif]

I can't resist either - despite settling down for an evening's colouring in...

I've got to go back to Camden early on Monday, I'm actually hoping Brewdog keeps Wetherspoons hours. I did like Punk even at £5.50 a pint

They have 'Shipwreck' on sale at the mo'...if all goes well, you could be doing a neat Trinity House impression after a couple of those - providing your wallet doesn't have a cardiac arrest. (Assuming you are carrying one these days ) Wear a red hat!
Let me know what time and I might let you buy me a thimblefull...

I wonder if Smutch wins as many times as Mossy...

We came second last time, but this time we came third (out of 11 teams). And we would have come second this time if I'd stood my ground on a couple of questions I knew the answer to but was shouted down by my feckless team-mates (I mean, any fule kno that 'vicennial' is every 20 years, right?).

The winner on both occasions was the same bunch of semi-pro Eggheads-wannabes who clearly have no life outisde of pub quizzes, not that I'm bitter about it or anything. Daffodils.

If there'd been a prize for Most Hipsterish Refreshments, we would have walked it.

Oatmeal stout. One of my own. Decent coffee and chocolate flavours, but a touch too dry.

It'll be early. My meeting is at 10am, I should be out by about 10.30am and I appreciate that some people are a little squeamish about drinking at that time of day.

Guess who has been to Lidl?

Twice?

 

[Aperitif]

Twice?

No. Just 'Lidl and often...'
(Insert JtM boom tish here + the expression 'bikkits?')
Anyway, it's a nice shiny surface and tidy background, so we know the photo wasn't taken at home.
I'll see where I am at 10:45 on Monday Mart...good luck.

No pic, as Mrs M and I just repeated our Aldi choices (Hers: Hobgoblin, His: Old Empire IPA).

Whilst I was a bit sniffy about my choice in reviews passim, I should recall that it cost a mere £1.25 - as I pointed out in reviews of the Revisionist beers, something that drinkable, for so little is jolly good.

I also wanted to mention Beer Emporium's current line up on their little bar;

...which is well worth a detour if you're in the area - Oracle, Citra and Neck Oil would all feature highly in my personal chart of "ideal things to drink on a sunny Saturday" and there's a stonking good bottle shop to peruse as well. ( http://www.thebeeremporium.com/ ).

I will be waiting in for delivery of a new washing machine, but I only hope that others can benefit from my knowledge, and avoid my mistake.

@Aperitif I'll text you when I get out
