The **Now Drinking** Thread

When I went to the supermarket I wasn't intending on getting any brewdogs (go to their pub most Wednesdays anyway) but at 99pence a bottle it was hard to turn down!
Seriously thinking about booking a few days away to Germany soon just to drink haha.

Had a couple of pints of 'Keep The Card Oot' by the Gambling Man brewery - an ale made in the style of an Islay malt for Burns night. Had a nice flavour and definitely had Islay malt overtones but was quite weak on the finish. Think it could have done with another week maturing. Also had a pint of 'Westoe IPA' by the Jarrow Brewery (who own my local) which, as always, was very nice. When I got home, I had a bottle of 'The Governor' which was created by Marco Pierre White, and brewed by JW Lees. Not a bad ale at all. Not particularly noteworthy but quite palatable.

Just finishing off the bottle of 'Masterpeace' Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz I bought to have with my steak which claims (on the label) to be "big and powerful, bursting with ripe black fruit flavours" - it's not. It's really rather weedy. There are fruity undertones but it's most certainly not "big and powerful", not particularly suitable to have with my steak. Never mind, I'll finish it anyway.

Later, I'll be having a glass (or two ;)) of Laphroaig Quarter Cask with the last of the Cashel blue and Gorgonzola - omnomnomnom :cool:

Stan I'm almost crying while I finish off my coffee :(

;)
 
I'm finishing up my Westons now, and you know what, it's been a good night. All beers have been decent. The worst tonight was the Deuchars didn't taste of anything at all though for some reason.
One a side note if anyone can sort me out with a crate of Haker black lager i'll pay you a lot of money.

Never heard of that one only the Guinness Black Lager, which is pretty damn good tbh :)

Id love to try that guinness lager, but cant get it in any bars down my way. As for bushmills, im finding jaimeson's to be a nicer drink, more so than even the better 12 and 16 year old bushmills. Ordinary bush and black bush are a bit rough.
 
Tennent's. Quick after work beer, I'll crack open the nice stuff this evening.

I saw the inside of Pieplough's house today, he hides his alcoholism well in real life!

Yeah was just over a fiver for 4. If you pick some up make sure you do NOT pour it into a glass, it's meant (even states it on bottle label) to be drunk from bottle. Pouring it into a glass will mess with your head as it looks like flat coke, no head, no bubbles just plenty of :confused:

Still on Peroni and actually it's not to bad (but don't tell Andrew) :p
 
Currently a cup of tea.

But in an hrs time me and some mates are going to the Dragon (weatherspoons) in town where they do real ale for £1.79 per pint:cool:
