I was quite down and depressed this afternoon because I've got an infection in my big toe where the toenail was taken out earlier this year. I knew it needs antibiotics and that means no alcohol.

So I went to the doctors on my way home and as predicted, he prescribed antibiotics. The conversation went as follows:

Me: "Bah, this means I can't drink any beer"

Him: "I can't understand where the urban myth that you can't have alcohol with antibiotics came from. Sure, you can't drink a bottle of scotch a night but the number of beers that you or I would drink is no problem"

Me: "I love you and want to have your babies"

So seeing as I've done both Tesco and the Co-Op beer shelves, I went to Morrisons. WOW! What a great range they've got. Much bigger than either of the other two previously mentioned supermarkets. I was in heaven.

This week I only selected one beer that I've had before, all the rest are new to me. I've had ESB in both bottle and draught form, and the 80/- in draught so the bottle form is new.

I also deliberately didn't choose really strong brews this week. I don't want to get totally blotto :)

So, without further ado, here is this weeks selection.



They're getting to the correct drinking temperature at the moment and I'll be working from left to right. Will start probably in around an hour or so, maybe less.

I will mostly be doing the same tonight, my lady is going out on her christmas do so i have just slipped into my local shop and purchased a micowave palau rice and a chicken tika masala together with a bottle of said shops finest wheat beer.

I shall be consuming this together in about an hours time and fireing up eve just afterwoods.

I will probably wake up tommorow having been pod'd and brought a load of stuff that i haven't yet got the skills for :)
 
I get my beers from ASDA... dont know if you have one near by...

might be an idea for you on your quest to taste all commercial beers
 
OK, so I couldn't wait an hour. Not even half an hour.

We don't have an Asda nearby here, but it'll take a few weeks to go through the stocks at Morrisons so I'll try a different place when I've done there.

Caledonian 80/-

"This is the definitive, classic 80/- ale. It has a rounded maltiness balanced by a distinctive hop character. The use of crystal malt and roast barley enhances the complexity of flavours, resulting in this award winning ale. The cask conditioned version is the Inaugural CAMRA Champion Beer of Scotland.
Caledonian 80/- is hand crafted in our original Victorian brewhouse using Britain's last remaining direct-fired open coppers. The malt infusion and hop flowers are boiled vigerously importing the distinctive flavour unuque to Caledonian"

It's not a strong ale at just 4.1% but it has a nice dark colour and was lively as I poured it resulting in a good head. I had this draught just a few weeks ago and this bottled version tastes very similar - A nice, fairly hoppy flavour which isn't overpowering and with no aftertaste hanging in my mouth. As is often the case with the weaker of the brews I've been sampling, I could easily sup this all night long.

The Landlord is nice - lets see what you think of that. Morrisons is definitely the best supermarket near me for beer, although it all depends on the size of the site tbh.
 
I have just poured myself a nice pint of 6X and told off the wench for putting the remaining bottles into the fridge.

Enjoy! :D
 
I have a habit of adding many people to my MSN after a few beers, not exclusively women! However you just started telling me something, rebooted and now you're not there any more :confused:

Get those bottles out of the fridge :eek:

So much for my beer thread. Well I had the Lancaster Bomber it was naff. Technically screw you guys ( :p ) I am going down the pub for some draught real ales and a kebab, posibly a fight too...

Hope the infection clears up, good drinking Feek and goodnight all (I will be back later drunk and full of 'bab)

:D
