The **Now Drinking** Thread

[peterwalkley]

A rather pleasant beer called chocolate moose from the purple moose brewery in portmadoc. We were lucky enough to get a personal tour as my wife used to work with the owner's wife. Great to meet someone so passionate about what he does.

Cracked open the last of my Brewdog AB:15 and now onto a AB:16. The 15 was past it's best given it was bottled a good few years ago. The 16 is still palatable.

CBA to look back but who recommended Sierra Nevada?

I hate you, just finished 4 bottles and it's gone midnight and I want more

Only have ever had absinthe once but it's what I imagine drinking lighter fluid is like.

Had Stoll before (the high ABV version).. it's like paint stripper!

Got some navy cask strength taster gin at 60%..

Anyone had issues with beer and lager giving them headaches? I'm fine with spirits but tend to find lager and ale give me headaches after 1 beer. Any beer a bit purer so less likely to give me headaches?

I've found that pretty much all Lager does this to me. I can drink Stout and Bitters quite comfortably, but even so much as a whiff of Stella and my brain starts thumping.

Probably quite a few people on here that could give you better recommendation's then I, but generally most Chocolate Stouts are delicious. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout is one of my favourites.

I had the opportunity to get a stronger one than that in Prague but chose not to….thinking it is just crazy, there are even some with cannabis inside the bottle…..bought a normal 70% one instead.

Midweek pint of Innis and Gunn lager (it's quite boring) and a dram of Jura superstition.

I'll add Brooklyn Chocolate stout (amazing) and Meantime Chocolate porter to this.

My current favourite is Wiper & True's Milkshake.

Currently drinking a lovely Lemon & Ginger Tea

Currently drinking a Pavlov's Dog, lovely red ale and got a dram of Loch Fyne the living cask 1745, it's brilliant whisky.
If you can get a bottle and like Islay Whisky, check this out.

 

[Psymonkee]

Too much JAGER! I can't think straight but I can type reasonably well!

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

For those that like a darker drink try Stone brewery Xocoveza!
