Polly's Brew Co The VIP Mix. One of the best pale ales I've had this year.

They look amazing. My stepson bought me these (and a few more in the fridge), for Fathers day
It's a great beer for the relatively low cost.
My flight refunds are due in soon, and i'm tempted to get an order in of some really good beers, as i always tend to aim around the £3/can range.
Aiming for some of those super hazy beers that are pure yellow, like this
@Rotty where do you tend to order yours from? I think @The_Abyss tends to go direct to breweries but i'd probably be aiming for a variety.

Ah bugger, i've a local place like that, but their range is a little limited.

Yeah, I do go to the breweries direct, as I'm normally buying for both myself and my brother it works out ok and not excessive.
Not excessive at all.

That’s a lot of calories!
I tried some wheat beer from Aldi last week, going to have a few more this week!

Not many drinks will give me a hangover, but wheat beer is one of them!

Good haul.
I'm thinking either Verdant, Track or Cloudwater for my order, unless i find a good online place.
Verdant would be near the top, but they only seem to have a small range in cans. Cloudwater also do beers from Squawk which i really like and a few other breweries so i think i'll just place an order with them.

Yeah, it's a decent beer that, and only £1.25 a bottle
Yeah I also bought the Pilsner but I preferred the wheat beer, it jus had more body (if that is the right term!).
Are you stating that it’s a good beer by preference or is it actually highly rated by reviews? I’ve not looked.

Not even spirits? Surely you’d get a hangover if you drank half (or whatever you think is a lot) a bottle of rum/vodka/whisky?

Personal preference. I can't remember but i think Untappd only rates it around 3.4/5, which is probably fair on taste, but then once you factor in the price i think it's a cracking option.

Agreed, the price is good even compared to other Aldi beers so I guess it’s probably a lot cheaper than other beers that are technically rated higher. It’s also 5% which seems higher than most that I’ve seen.

Might have accidentally ordered Beer 52's summer scorcher one off box. 
I'll add a +1 for Lidl's own brand beer. Some of them are pretty nice, even better considering the price.

You'd be surprised, for some people sticking to one drink can prevent a lot of hangover issues. I find complex drinks like rich red wine or posh beer leave me feeling rough. Whereas reasonable quality spirits and no mixing alcohols I can be better off.
I'm a bit late to reply but I've got a bottle of the 2004 and the Port Cask Finish, they're fantastic rums. I've never tasted a bad Foursquare rum.

I've just got a bottle of Doorly's XO for fathers day. But your right I have not had a bad one, and I've had a lot of the Searle Rums. He is my go to distiller.

Not really, no. But although I have the occasional blow out, I don't tend to drink excessively. That's why I'd prefer to spend more on premium beers / drinks that I genuinely enjoy and savour.
