[Drinking] Thank F*** it’s Fridat drinks thread.

Herr Tubthumper · May 15, 2020

I’m enjoying a cheeky post-work bottle of Rothaus Pils in anticipation of Brewdog opening its doors for the first time since lock-down. This is a tentative first step along the road to normality but it could all be over very quickly if infection rates rise to unmanageable levels. With this latter point in mind I plan to play safe but make the most of this freedom. Let’s see how this goes.

Bleiben Meine Freunden Gessund!

Here we go.

I've just popped the cork on a Chilean Carmenere at 4.30

Well it is Fridat, and I'll pace myself :cheers:

(by pace myself, I mean asleep on the sofa by 8.30)

A few bottles of Hophead while I carefully select something Red from the cellar to go with tonight's steak.

Have you really got a cellar? I've always wanted one, although Mrs Wz doesn't agree :down:

Working tomorrow (early start) so just a couple of cans of Guinness.

Just got back from a (work) drive to Deal, Dover, then back to Eastbourne.. I absolutely fecking HATE the roads from home to Kent....

In honour of my crappy day behind the wheel I have just 'pscchhhttt' opened a can of ice cold K Cider. Refreshing.

I've got nothing else in the house though - and I can't be arsed to drive to the shops, so that may be it.. :glare:

A four pint takeaway of Gun Parabellum Milk Stout from The Foghorn with chilli pork scratchings for me and regular pork scratchings for the snack cupboard. If that proves inadequate there's a bag of ice in the freezer and a bottle of Bushmills also in the snack cupboard.

Bad snack cupboard!

Well, it is World Whisky Day tomorrow, so I may have to have a bit of an advance taster, so to speak, just to ensure I get in the groove for tomorrow. :whisky:

We shall be enjoying some local crab tonight, together with prawns and Cornish new potatoes, so a glass or two of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc shall be most welcome.
Cheers to all fellow imbibers. :drink:

Yes, it’s my local brewery and it does a good selection of gluten free beer( important to me as I have Coeliac disease)

And they are bloody good at it as well!!

On the subject of local breweries I made my now regular Friday lunch time trip down the hill to Eridge to pick up 12 pints from Good Things earlier. I'm currently on their Restoring Balance IPA. I have another 4 pints of that and 4 of Beyond The Surface to see off. Hopefully it won't all be tonight else I'll be making another trip down there tomorrow lunch time.

I had a FourPure Jet lager at 4% and then a follow up Yosemite small pale by the same mob and that was only 2.5%...

Thanks to a mercy dash by the great Pickles I now have 4 Jaipurs and 4 Punks to make friends with again..... Not ice cold yet though.

Back of the net!

One of the owners (Mark) is very local to me - great beer and a lovely bloke to boot

Madafwo · May 15, 2020
