What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[531Man]

I can handle 25.
But in the 30s my brain no longer works and I'm seriously cranky.
Holiday me hole

With the family camping in Costa Brava Spain a few years ago, I checked the hire car's thermometer.
38C.

But that was at 3 a.m.

The same car's dashboard the following day went 'ping' and said 'ecomode' and displayed 50C.
I said something beginning with F.
The campsite's pool was an absolute essential.
That was the year in August that elderly Parisiennes were in the news dying on their own, due to the heat.

WC IPA seems to have changed again after a few more weeks. I think it's getting better with age..got a piney/sweaty.aroma now with a bit of orange citrus... watching terminator 2

I’ve not had a lot to drink tonight so it’s time to try a beer I’ve been looking forward to tasting and it’s beautiful. It is strong at 9.5% but the strength is not at all obvious from the flavour. The fermentation character in this beer is world class in my view. I’m gutted I only bought one.

 

[531Man]

Back to the beer.
I went to close up the garage, and another pouring of The Mongrel Ale leapt into my glass.
It would be an insult not to satisfy it.

It looks deceptively dangerous.
Bought, where from?

Tasty is it? Not had that before.

From a bottle shop in Sevenoaks. They had such an exciting range in a small shop.

Probably!

It really is. Like a champagne version of Tripel Karmaliet.

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

In Southend at the moment enjoying a pint of Exmoor Stag on the sea front.

Only down the road from me. Wish I’d seen this earlier. I may have joined you for one

 

[samale]

I don't think I have had that either. I must check it out

That’s a shame. I’ll let you know next time.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

You must. I might be heading back to Sevenoaks very soon!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Arghhh, now I’ve got the flavour!

Irish men are not built for over 30s. I was in Turkey one year and it was hitting 42 ffs. Donegal men are good for up to 20

I do like it hot if I'm by the sea or pool with a cold beer. No way I'm jumping in the Thames to cool down

Was in turkey in June and it was 34 it was bliss. I love the heat

Contemplating a price for two units surplus to requirements, times like this I wish I could send to the UK cheaply. Get more money over there. So having an EIPA while conjuring up a price.

Busy day today with a bbq later and some bottling to do very soon, but had time to knock up a cocktail. Bit lumpy but very cold and very yummy!

Lumpy would not be a word I would normally associate with cocktails in fairness lol
