It's a monday night, nobody drinks on a monday
What, why!
mate did a promo for frosty jacks and asked us if we wanted a few bottles. We thought about 5 bottles maybe.
Cue getting home from work and 4 crates of 12 stacked up behind the bins! legend.
Ok, testing one of my beers.
The reasoning is simple, it's one of the three bottles I gave longer post bottling warm temps to as well as a shake to rouse the yeast. It's been in the fridge a week and ... the top popped nicely with a fizz but not really a massive head.
My first bottling, so I have to investigate things.. besides I'm going on a fitness spree starting tomorrow ready for snowboarding..

I accidentally picked up a bottle of Port (was after a standard red wine) never drank Port before, it's quite nice, really sweet, I think I prefer it to normal red wine now

My worst ever hangover was after a session on port. I truly thought i was dying.

When we were into the cheeky vimto (port mixed with blue WKD alcopop) its delicious but gives deadly hangovers. My mate said "what port shall i get" it was raining at the time as we drove to asda and i came out with a pretty decent one liner
"any old port in a storm" i replied

Looking at it, it says "Tawny Port" on it, Whatever that means
If only I could be bothered going into town...
If only my wallet didn't contain moths.
those two words should never appear in the same sentence.
LOL.....it's not that bad. The missus picked it up this afternoon when out shopping, was on offer apparently at £5 for 8. Fine for chilling on a Sat afternoon. Will be on my usual tipple this evening though, Pinot Noir.
