Carrying On, with my hobby

I discovered Budweiser a few weeks ago , really nice , not the American rubbish Budweiser Budvar , nothing to do with America, just found out they sell it in spar , lech the polish beer is nice too

A few weeks ago I picked up 4 bottles of cloudy cider from the fridge in the local shop , got home to discover I'd picked up the wrong keys , no front door key , everybody out

Luckily the garden gate is on a combination lock so I got in the garden , 2 hours to kill , sunny Sunday afternoon and 4 bottles of cold cider

2 hours later the rest of the family came home but I was legless in the garden,ended up sleeping it off all afternoon

Wife's afternoon plans scuppered , when i came round I looked at the bottles , 7.5% , won't be drinking that again

It’s pricey in France our local Lidl some times have it at £2.50 for 750 cl

im a wheat beer man myself...i tried Erdinger 'Pikantus' this week. In my expert view its nicer than standard Erdinger but not worth the extra price. And you only need one, its about 8%. Oh well, ill have to force myself to drink the other 5 I bought from beerhunter.co.uk.

Abbot Ale

Abbot Ale - Perfect Real Ale

A fine brew, which not only goes back 1000 years in itself, but it has also been suggested (I do not know the evidence) that this ale is the closes recipe to what was believed to have been drunk 2000 years back.

On another note, back in 1982 I was a paramedic, and having sat for 90 minutes on the Hogs Back near Guildford on area cover, we returned to base in Godalming via the old A3 and the junction with Compton. As we came close to the junction where we would turn right off the A3, there before us was a very large canvas sided lorry, on its side, having turned over. It was a Newquay Steam Brew Beer Lorry, and the entire load was strewn across the road. 100's of bottles and amazingly the majority were not broken, laying on the road. We were quickly joined by the fire brigade, who started to clear the area up, as we took the driver to Hospital with luckily for him only a broken nose.

Less than 90 minutes after leaving the scene to go to the Hospital we went back past the place to go back to base........................

7 fire appliances, and LOTS of smiling firemen, and not one single bottle of Newquay Steam Brew Beer left on the road for anyone to see.

Probably the fastest clear up by the fire brigade ever.

Brilliant. It’s an I’ll wind as they say.

Had a few Offshore by sharps,a nice balanced pilsner.Ideal on a sunny day near the beach,handsome.

Last summer I had a trip booked to France but the weirdest thing happened. Apparently, they had some kind of virus and stopped letting people in?

I’m not sure if its all sorted out now? You see these things on the news don’t you, and then they just disappear?

So anyway, I went to Devon and Cornwall and enjoyed many a pint of Offshore. Tried looking for it in the shops but I think it’s a local thing. It probably won’t taste the same without sun and a beach.

Tonights tipple, also got an advent beer Calendar delivered today, roll on December.

 

[bigwood]

Hopefully if I am allowed out at the weekend, been isolating for three weeks, I will see what Lidl across the road have to offer. We are due a takeaway on Sunday so I have an excuse to find something worth drinking. Last time it was Hobgoblin that was the cheapest but as long as it’s a beer not a larger anything’s ok.

Moved to Masham, North Yorkshire, population 1200 and home to both Theakston AND Black Sheep breweries and 5 pubs.

Thought I'd work my way through their ranges of ales but have got stuck on Theakston's Old Peculier, the famous strong, dark, smooth tasting beer.

Admittedly its bottled (as opposed to being from oak barrel) but at £12.50 for 8 pints (500ml) bottles collected from the door, there are worse places to be locked down.

Haven't read the whole thread but since lockdown began looked around to find some decent beer to buy (and drink at home of course). Usually prefer to drink real ale but came across various craft beers and decided to give them a try. I am now a convert and buy from Flavourly online at what I consider reasonable prices - around £1.15 for 330ml cans. Anyone else a convert?

 

[Buzz67]

Jaipur still on a fantastic offer at Tesco. 8 for £9.

That’s pretty good if that’s the regular price but Sainsbury’s often has 500ml ale for £1.25
Re. The craft beer v real ale distinction, I’ve had decent craft beers but, particularly locally, I’m spoilt for choice of real ales.
CAMRA should adapt to look after all brewers but need 75% of member votes to adopt craft beer protection and only got 72%
That was about 2018 & don’t know the current position.

That is a great beer that I’ve not had for some time. Thanks for that.

Old Rosie and Broadside night tonight.

 

[JockandRita]

I had a Hatherwoods Amber Adder No3 (Lidl), followed by a glass of fruity Red Wine. The blooming wine was gopping.

My thanks also to Buzz67, for the heads up on the Jaipur at Tesco.
I think I need to go for some milk tomorrow.

Cheers,

Jock.

I find craft beer is just another name for dearer beer

I did wonder.

You and me both Joe. I won't be taken in by it.
Myself and the boys went into P/Boro (pre Covid) for a few beers, and went into this bar which had a large wall with lots of keg style taps with labels under them. They were craft beers, and blooming expensive considering they were dispensed in smaller measures too.

Cheers,

Jock.

When we have a day out in the capital, we sometimes get involved with a few craft beers (I do like to try them), and some of them are just eye wateringly expensive. I must confess to paying £8+ for such a beer occasionally, normally when I’m 2 parts..

Could have 4 decent pints in spoons for that

Aye, and probably Abbot, or Jaipur even. Your a man after my own heart Joe.

Cheers,

£29.95 for 24 330ml cans to your door delivered free is the usual price. Being a Northerner I wait for the £1.15 a can offer. This is for a mixed offer, maybe 8 or 10 different beers. Well worth the money. Cheers.

 

[Guerrilla]

Meant to add that of course my first choice drink is real ale, but I don't enjoy it as much from the bottle. Craft beer on the other hand is excellent from the can.
