Hi Stan, I picked it up at my local beer shop which might be a bit of a trip for you mate

Have a look at the Williams Brothers website as they have a postcode checker for local stockists, you might get lucky or failing that order from them direct.

Not necessarily my friend. Are you free this weekend?

The flight to Belfast isn't hugely expensive and I've been nowhere this time home so, a weekend in "Norn Iron" might well cheer me up somewhat.

If you're free and up for a bit of cultural exchange, I'm game

Stan you picked a bad time to spring this one matey. I'm coming into my weekend runs of working and wouldn't be free until Sunday. If you fancy making a trip over sometime later gimme a shout and I'll try and get you a run up to the Bushmills Distillery

Coffee, been drinking it all day in work while trying to stay awake through a safety training brief... good to be home

Probably for the best. I'm off to work next Tuesday anyway. Definitely look into it later in the year though, I fancy another trip over

I went to the distillery a couple of years ago when I was on holiday (although another trip wouldn't go amiss - so I can pick up a bottle or two of the special 12yo).

Currently drinking Earl Grey tea with a slice of M&S lemon drizzle traybake :cool:

I've got in some Belgian beers, in remembrence of my weekend there in December, for the footie tonight. Will be starting with Hoegarden with my curry followed by Leffe Blonde, then Leffe Brun and topping it all off with a couple of bottles of Duvel

For sure gimme a shout when you are thinking of coming and we can get something sorted mate, that and a bit of discount doesn't go a miss

Oh and if you hear anyone banging your front door later it will be Ahleckz when he sees your beer selection

Aha! Another person who calls milk this. My niece thinks it's hysterical.

Couple of Carlings, before going to see Orange Goblin this evening.

Mark A · 12 Feb 2013 at 18:15

Saw these in Lidl for 99p so picked a few up. Not bad but I prefer stronger ale.

Ahleckz · 12 Feb 2013 at 21:06

Mallinsons Amarillo.

Just single hopped with Amarillo. A great showcase of the beer. I've got it far too cold but it's still very nice.

It's very much needed. Started work at half 8 this morning, finished at half 8 tonight and had a 15 minute break. Ho hum! Absolutely beasting my target.

cymatty · 12 Feb 2013 at 21:59

A bearably passable mix of martini rosso, bitters and lemonade.

Stan_Lite · 12 Feb 2013 at 21:59

Finished the Hoegaarden, finshed the Leffe Blonde and almost finished the Leffe Brun. About to start on the Duvel - that should finish me off

How are you getting on with your whisky Matty?

Tried any new ones yet?

Good to hear you're doing well and enjoying the new job Ahleckz

On topic I'm just about to start my 4th John Smiths of the night - this is my Fri night (shift work sucks

)

Still have 3 unopened bottles, although 2 are bourbons. I tried a few samplers with my friend, I am more a light and fruity type than the dark peaty types I have found, so that is good to know.

I have a taste for straight vodka at the moment, I go through phases. I need to let this one pass then I can enjoy my whiskeys.

Lol - fair enough. My wife is the same and she currently has a taste for Smirnoff Expresso Vodka which we picked up duty free last time we were abroad

I'm hoping to make a few more whisky purchases in March in particular the Glenrothes Select Reserve has caught my eye after I tried a sample early one morning at Manchester airports duty free. We're away on a short break to Inverrary in March and I'm thinking the hotel bill will be the least of my worries

Drinking a Punk IPA, looking forward to a few speyside beers tomorrow (http://www.speysidecraftbrewery.com/) taken me long enough to get hold of them.
Started by a mate of mine, stolen my dream and started his own brewery!

Mrs Seabiscuit · 13 Feb 2013 at 09:33

Well currently coffee, but last night we had some tesco own brand bottled ales. An EPA a golden ale and an a red ale. Not overly impressed with the bottles tasted bit horsey

Ahleckz · 14 Feb 2013 at 18:00

This is still an amazing beer, and I owe it a lot but it's just a bit to 'meh' for me nowadays. If only supermarkets stocked Torpedo!
