Thanks for the tip and you’re right absolutely great value, have to get some more!

 

Lol can't win them all

 

I also consider Monday a booze free day.

Monnight, however, is a different story.

 

Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary cellar find…..If you want to buy another stupid watch you will have to sell something she said (fair point)…..so raid the cellar I thought…..looks like I have not struck gold. Damn if only bottles and booze aged as well as Speedmasters, and like a speedy you could just drink them in with your eyes…. not down your neck like a fish…. back to the drawing board :0(… I need a beer.

 

I managed to track one down - thanks for the tip / I will try it at the weekend. I nearly missed it as it was boxed and I had a bottle search fixation.

 

I visited Westland distillery today and did my own hand filled cask strength bottling and completed the labeling. Aged in ex-Rye casks and finished in Oloroso.

 

I am very jealous / nice pictures. 59.4% alcohol but 100% quality ;0)

 

I fell of the wagon early this week....Curry and lager Wednesday, means I have to miss my normal Friday frenzy....

 

Alt bier is particular to Dusseldorf and is pretty much my favourite beer in the world, elements of amber ale, red ale, black beer, pilsener, lager and ipa... it is top fermented, giving it fruitiness but fermented at coolish temps and is given extended lagering or conditioning prior to release... making it crisp... end of the day it is complex and difficult to define ... is it an ale, a lager or a pilsener ... yep it is all of those, is it creamy or textural or tart, yes to all 3... is it fruity or dry... yes... creamily malty or bitter ... again, yes on all counts

 

I will have to try that one. So far I cant beat Augustiner Edelstoff….but I can drink it...hence my crate is empty :0(

 

one drink a bit earlier than normal, Glen Garioch ..and one, 100% period-correct Speedy
.

and expert advice on how to pronounce its name

.

 

I wouldn’t call him an expert he f’s up 3 distillery’s. In that series. Not even the Scots can agree on it lol.

 

I will definitely F up every distillery! so by my standards, he remains an expert

 

I fell across this one by accident a year or so back. Very clean and crisp with a fruity yet bitter intense finish. I paid more attention for once as it was in a blue funky bottle and it was my first of the day.... Something a bit different but seemed to be a local only brew / did not see it in many (any) other pubs.

 

Celestial Brewery today!!

 

Crown Royal made into old fashioned.

 

Has to be an Irish pour this weekend.

 

Making some emergency preparations as Brexit looms she said...…….Focus on some basic essentials she said.... and I was like 'hello'....:0)
