Just come back from a meal with mates, had some of the worst tasting beer i've ever had. Some German 'White Beer' or something that was cloudy and tasted like ****e and also some Italian champagne.


God I hate champagne.

By the sounds of things you had some very bad quality weissbier and bad quality champagne. Most pub weissbiers like Erdinger or Hoegaarden are awful. There is far better stuff out there.

As for the champagne, if you can still feel it afterwards it's likely a cheap one with high acidity. There are some great champagnes which you would really enjoy, I'm sure. Something like Deutz is horrific in comparison to something like Pol Roger which is yummy.

Snakebite is only for us old guys ... red wine and spirits is just for the young kids and chavs

No, snakebite is for pretentious goths. The classy goths drink red wine!

That said.. I'm having an excellent Cabernet.

Cocktails have their place, Boston Sours, Margaritas, Martinis (Gin or Vodka not French!) and that's about it.

Oh crap!

I'm going to Laithwaites this week, I'll send it then!

 

[Lysander]

Oranjeboom.

That's pronounce Or-ang-he-bowm, for you illiterates.

 

[Lysander]

Leffe Brune.

I am great lover of Tanglefoot, be it in pie, or in can, bottle or off the pump. One of the best beers in the world hands down.

 

[Lysander]

San Miguel. Could be worse.

Wow, I was really spoiled with that German off license.

 

[Lysander]

Water. Can't physically drink alcohol tonight.

 

[Lysander]

How can you live with lighting that high?!

For me - Shiraz Cabernet.

 

[Lysander]

Well, I see cold beer anyway...

 

[Lysander]

Hot chocolate - with water, never milk.

 

[Lysander]

Hot chocolate [Cadbury's Highlights, specifically].

 

[Lysander]

Black coffee.

 

[Lysander]

A very [surprisingly] decent Grenache Shiraz. So good ones DO exist.

 

[Lysander]

El Bombero. Nice to have some decent wine after a few days of crap, cheap shiraz.

 

[Lysander]

My last Waxed Bat, and last bottle from my 18-strong crate.

Thank you, Laithwaites in Tower Bridge, for contributing to a great wine-fuelled winter.

 

[Lysander]

Hot chocolate.

My favourite wine at the moment - Douglas Green Cabernet. Best £5.99 you'll spend on a bottle of red.
