rocket_scientist Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 The Prosecco was shite but the Henriot was excellent, if not most definitely "lemony" as described. Mate of mine drinks nothing but champagne and whisky (Lagavulin) in the house. I thought "lucky fucker" being able to afford to but I used to smoke Regals and was spending the price of a bottle and a half of damn fine champers a week on death nail cancer sticks. Then I gave up the habit of 3 or 4 pints 3 or 4 nights a week and all of a sudden, between the beer and the fags, I'm needing to go to the bank so much less that I have an extra £100 a week in my pocket. Montaudon champers tonight. Now THIS is the business. Quote
manc_don Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Camparron crianza 2008. Not a bad bottle at all. Quote
dave_min Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 I've recently decided that Punk IPA is actually really good and not shite (as previously thought) Quote
baggy89 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 I've recently decided that Punk IPA is actually really good and not shite (as previously thought) Not as good as Hardcore IPA though. Quote
dave_min Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 Not as good as Hardcore IPA though. Correct. Quote
manc_don Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Was drinking this last night. 7.2% and wasn't bad actually. http://res.cloudinary.com/ratebeer/image/upload/w_250,c_limit,q_80,d_beer_def.gif/beer_147820.jpg[/img] Quote
mizer Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 Not a big IPA fan but this is really nice from Canada. Available in Sainsburys. Quote
scotfree Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Today I will be drinking a nice German beer. Cheapest thing I could find. Quote
BigAl Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Stella 4 Well it was on offer and I no longer get free beer Quote
Andrew Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Bottle of red after m and s dine for two eaten by one. Quote
BigAl Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Is it still two dine for £10 ? Had that a couple of times, although as you allude to, the portion sizes are better suited to one person consuming it on their own Quote

Had that a couple of times, although as you allude to, the portion sizes are better suited to one person consuming it on their own Yea it's really good value. I was going to get a ready meal and a bottle of wine anyway so it's cheaper doing it through m&s. Still a wee bit depressing though. ot sure if the money saved makes any less depressing though ?

BigAl Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Depressing ? As in buying a meal deal for two with no one to share it with or what ? Quote

manc_don Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 Suns out, feels like it should be beer O'clock! Think i'll be having one of these tonight: Quote
Madbadteacher Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 I will be staying sober. Today is my 4 months! Quote
manc_don Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 I will be staying sober. Today is my 4 months! Congrats MBT! Not something I'm planning even though I'm triathlon training , all in moderation I say! Actually had a nice local IPA tonight. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 Tonight would be an appropriate time to try a new drink. A vodka from Scotland - Glamis, near Forfar, "potato vodka" it says on the bottle - on the night Scotland drew with Poland, a nation that can't get enough tattie juice. I've never been a voddie drinker but bought a bottle last week recommended by my vintner. Ogilvy it is, £35 a pop. Interesting how we all eat more rice and pasta so our local farmers turn their oversupply into bevvy. Don't try Valt vodka. It's really shite. Got into this with Grey Goose from the freezer. One or two at the end of the night gives a good dunt. This is recommended to be served at room temp over ice. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 One would be disadvantaged by failing to heed good advice. Try Ogilvy vodka. The equivalent of a double pub measure over two cubes of ice. Sip gently over 20 minutes or so. Fucking sublime. Only an idiot over-indulges and abuses alcohol. Taking good quality in decent measures is the only way. Edit: ok already, it was maybe a triple. Fucking fine though. Quote
