Feek's Friday Beer, gin (and whatever you happen to be drinking on a Friday night) Thread

Let me know what you make of the Hobgoblin Gold - I find them a bit to metallic for my taste.
I'm on Brewdog's punk IPA, which is my go to these days. Also have some Dead Pony Club for over the weekend, and some Sierra Nevada Torpedo.

Quite a bit of hate for Brewdog these days, but I find their Punk IPA very good!
Open to suggestions for better IPA's?

I prefer it to Stone and Sierra Nevada's offerings

nothing wrong with Brewdogs and the Punk IPA is my usual choice at the supermarket..... Well it was! Hard to get at the moment in my neck of the woods.

The first pint has gone in. I repeat, the first pint is through the hoop.

It's not on my list of all-time favourite beers but I do like it as a "see me through" when I just want a couple of pints of something inoffensive.

I did go off it for about a year though because the pleasant faint American hop flavour was replaced by an over-bittered foulicity, but they seem to have sorted that out now.

Bottle of awful Chianti from the offy down, and now on A Piemonte Barbera from Lidl. Quite nice!

Cheers everybody!

...I really like them. I have 8 cans in the fridge but prefer them from the bottle. Both nice to me though.

4 wasn't enough. This is the first time I've ever bought alcohol from a 24hr garage but there we are, I did it (jogging distance so it's from my PT hour).

Merry Christmas, all.

PS all they had was Heineken 5%. The sacrifices we make...

 

[fobose]

Haha! Jogged to get more beer, not heard of that one before

I mean I've run to make it before closing...

In Scotland, you can't buy booze from shops after 10pm. I've sprinted before, multiple times! Hah.

My go to beer as well - they were £12 quid for a large box at Asda over last couple of weeks so grabbed a few (think the offer has ended now though).

Hazy Jane is a decent choice too, but sadly not widely available.

No pics but I'm having a couple of glasses of merlot tonight. Yellow Tail, £6 a bottle from the local offy.

How was your hangover this morning?

Oops, meant @Yadda

It wasn't fantastic, truth be told.

That's ok, mine wasn't great either!

I've been drinking Roku with cherries thrown in as a garnish this evening and it's really nice.

I actually lol'd this morning at the picture of you jogging to the 24 hour garage cause you were on an isolation bender and had run out of booze! Did you have to get served through the little "2am bender" anti-burglary sliding tray thing?

Haha, yes, it turns out that a 4 pack of 330ml bottles just about fits through the night service hatch trough.

If you thought the image of me jogging down to the garage for grog was funny, you should have seen me on the way back with 3 boxes of beer having refused a bag. Not one of my best ideas, that.

My mixed case from Thornbridge turned up and I'm enjoy a couple of these. It is a very gentle sour, but I do like it.

New stock.
