St Austell's Proper Job.

Bishop's Finger. A nice standard these days, after a rather tasty haddock chowder made by myself.

Can't go wrong with it, an awesome IPA.

@Ahleckz - I am a big fan of Remy Martin VSOP. Did the mint sour work OK?

@Lysander have you tried st-remy xo? Personally I find it a lot smoother than remy martin vsop, and its a lot more friendly on the wallet.

It was actually very good, I usually make sours with Scotch so this was a nice change. A bit mellower, and the hint of mint worked very well. Need to be careful with the mint, I just used a teaspoon of dried mint as an experiment. Wouldn't go much more than that.

Plantation XO, my Flaviar boxed arrived yesterday so thought I would have a tasting session. Plantation 5 is one of my go to rums and the xo does not disappoint.

Just finished a glass of Brewdog's Elvis Juice. One of my favourites this, lovely grapefruit flavour.

Cheers, I got them from Homesense and can't for the life of me remember the brand.

Currently enjoying a glass of El Dorado 12

Just made a coffee with some coffee mate that expired 07/20.

Tastes fine so no need to throw it away.

Nescafe. Really scraping the barrel, but weirdly enough I'm growing to like it.

Can't go wrong with Shipyard IPA. Part of my staple beer list.

 

[Lysander]

Currently... Love & Hate, a 7.2% hazy IPA by Vocation. Excellent stuff.

Had a Beavertown Neck Oil, a Camden Show Off Lager and a Drygate Disco Forklift Truck this evening. My 20 year old self would be ashamed of all these ridiculous craft beers, but they’re so simple and tasty. Perhaps some festive real ale is in order to bring balance to the force.

Also had a bottle of Wiston Estate NV this week. Pretty decent English sparkling wine, but I’m afraid I’m still of the opinion that UK sparkling wines don’t justify their champagne prices and are often shown up by a good cremant or Prosecco... often at a lesser price too.

Yeah me to dude, Remy martin vsop is overated. St Remy XO is exceptional value.

Bailey's salted caramel....that's a bit tasty

 

[Lysander]

Guinness Foreign Extra [Irish version]. One of my all-time favourites.

That's barely past its date , I'm sure you'll have a good few years left with that.

Currently (well not right now cos it's 7am) working through homebrew kit from wilco - Thirsty Devil. A rather nice ruby ale which has been maturing for a month now.

Interspersed with homebrew pear cider (lethal stuff. Drink in moderation!)

 

[robfosters]

Just enjoying a large southern comfort and sprite with plenty of ice. Very nice.

What other canned drinks go with it?

 

[mid_gen]

Don Papa on ice. Lovely.

Just drank 24 bottles (just as in last few weeks) of March of the Penguins from Scotland, whose products I normally avoid. Now looking for a double imperial stout that won't break the bank. If anyone wants to recommend...
