The **Now Drinking** Thread

[Stan_Lite]

Not normally a rum drinker but discovered this lurking at the back of the spirits shelf and thought I'd have a glass for a change.



Nice and light and sweet - not like the dark rum I was used to from my younger days. I could get into this stuff quite easily, it's very easy to drink - even neat.

^^ Did you ever try McKibbins?


As for now drinking.... something to go through the motion, actually we'll leave it there

Nope. Never heard of it until now.

Nope. Never heard of it until now.

Unlucky or maybe .... not made anymore, but it was a daaaaark rum and was bottled for long enough, by hand where I work

Coffee. I have work in less than 3 hours.

What did you think of the Punk and Saint then DJ? Will it be treated to be in your fridge again?

I enjoyed them both mate and shall again tonight when I'm a little more sober to remember why....

Punk IPA

Well just as last night I did what you said Ahleckz and poured it into a glass, and after admiring the colour I lifted it to be greated with a such an aroma my nose thought it was in heaven, a few seconds later my tongue was having a pint with the angels too....

Lovely, and deffo will be picking it up again.

EDIT:

On the 5am Saint now, enjoying it yes but not just as much as the Punk.

Grolsch. I just finished work and don't have it again for a whole 10 hours.

 

[jackthezipper]

Just a San Miguel tonight, but it's cold so that's all that matters just now.

Tesco's have any four large bottles for £5 (660ml for example of Bud, Cobra, Heineken, San Miguel and a few more)

So I have just done a Cobra and am half way through a San Miguel.

 

[Ahleckz]

I'm having a EXCELSIOR LAGER. Classy.

Had a Talisker, couple of G&Ts and 4 or 5 Tennent's in town today though. We came joint last in the pub quiz.

Good to hear, yeah they are different beers but both worth drinking. I'm a big fan of the Punk. Next time you're in Tesco, get a bottle of the 'Tesco Finest American Double Ipa'. It's Brewdog's Hardcore IPA but relabelled. Similar to the Punk but stronger and hoppier (and better).

So I have just done a Cobra and am half way through a San Miguel.

My commiserations.

 

[jackthezipper]

I'm pretty sure I bought 8 cans of excelsior when i was skint and gave 7 away it was so bad.

 

[Ahleckz]

It's not great, I admit it. However, it's on a par with the other awful mass produced lagers and it's a damn sight cheaper than Carling/Grolsch/Tennents/etc.

 

[Alps]

Just had a 'zummo' fresh orange whilst visiting work, would like one for my kitchen at home but it's a commercial machine that cost just under £5000. Stick with my 8 year old philips juicer.
