I'm intrigued. YOu wouldn't post that picture unless you knew that no one else could get it.

Makes me think it's years old?

Edit - Ha. I knew the signature but only just realised after the 4th look or so that it had the harp on it as well! My google'ing suggests this is a pre 2005 beer?! Surely not.

lol nope it's anything but old

Oh and it's rather nice too

See if you're drinking an unreleased beer, then that's got to be a disqualification!

I'M SO INTRIGUED. JUST TELL ME!!!! Hahah.

You haven't actually got homebrew isn't allowed in the rules either.

Minus points for you! Go read them!

2) ONLY one picture containing ONE beer (in bottle or can form) may be entered per week. Homebrew is NOT allowed nor is Cider / Cidré

Ahleckz · 25 Sep 2012 at 20:20

Ambiguous, that rule states that no home brew is allowed in can or bottle form. Anything else is fine.

Since when did you start working for Apple legal team

Finishing off the Duvel. Enjoying it much more tonight, last night I had the last bottle of Sierra Nevada PA first and the Duvels after that didn't go down to well...

I need to find a decent "low calorie" beer.... or cider, pilsner, lager or something!

Ahleckz · 25 Sep 2012 at 20:39

Out of interest, what number of calories would you consider 'low calorie'?

DirtyJester · 25 Sep 2012 at 20:45

Irish entry just finished off, well few left for another day and maybe even keep one as a winning prize for the comp.

Well basically now I've passed 40 and weight is dangerously close to passing fat b'd by a long way, I'm open to any alternatives to stopping the drink altogether. Especially as falling off the wagon is something I have multiple gold medals in

Actually getting of my fat arse to exercise is another matter altogether!

Ahleckz · 25 Sep 2012 at 20:49

Hah. Ah, it was a tongue in cheek comment rather than a serious thing!

I understand your point, as I am also getting quite 'portly' (I am only 23 though!

). Trouble is, beer et al is so tasty! I guess you just need to find exercise you enjoy. Weight lifting pint glasses is my exercise of choice.

Ah you'll be fine for a while yet, although it was just shy of your age when I got injured playing football, unfortunately it coincided with the start of all day opening in pubs... The rest as they say is history!

The biggest problem I have is finding time for exercise in between work and family. Basically early mornings is where it'll need to slot in, but getting up before 6am for that is another stumbling block!

As the auld lad here.... get walking

best thing you will ever do, though make sure it has a bit of pace about it.

A bottle of hobgoblin, just what was needed after today's work.

Rojin · 25 Sep 2012 at 22:18

Last shot of syrupy Absolut out of the freezer, yum! Only got a Smirnoff red to replace it though....

Ketel One wasted with some P poor orange and ice

Carte Noir coffee. Has anyone noticed a change in taste to this? Seems a bit different to usual, bit more bitter I think. It's from the 'eco pack' bags, but I believe it's the same they sell in the jars?
I buy jars when they are on special offer (a lot of the time) and refill from the eco bags to save money. Bargain hunter me!

Only tastes funny because your tongue is stilled glued to the roof of your mouth from last night!

Coffee ... plain simple instant and hitting the spot
