What Are You Drinking Tonight?
- Thread starter DD67
- Start date
I've been drinking a bit of lager during this heat wave. Last night I found a great deal on 15 x 440ml cans of 1664 for £11 at Sainsbury's.
I ordered 4 & they have just been delivered. One of the boxes was damp so the driver said he'd get it refunded in case there was a burst can.
I went to hand him that box back but he said to keep it. As it would only end up as individual cans in a bargain bin.
What a result!
Then I emptied out the box looking for the burst can & there wasn't one
The leak was obviously from another box. 60 x 440ml can at 5% for £33
The old adverts on telly for it were as funny as f#ck

That's Ducks favourite tipple

My favourite at the moment is still Bushmills Black Bush, but I need to do more research
That Redbrest that you brought round was bloody nice, but might be a bit rich both in favour and price for a regular drink, as you said best for an occasional savour.
I struggle with the idea that it has to be on offer to drop below £50 for a 70cl bottle
Hence my suggestion that you ask for it for birthdays & Christmas.
BTW...
The bottle I brought around is the entry level version.
They offer other versions.

Last night I tried a drink I'd never had before!
Was out with my older biker neighbour in our local having a pint and we got chatting about different additions to a pint - I recommended port & Guinness and he told me when he was a barman in the 70s he once had a woman ask for cider and ginger wine and it was good.
Inevitably, this led to trying a half and he was right - delicious and very moreish
Not cheap, but strong, and definitely worth trying once!

The "Portland Maine" reference is just creative marketing Don.
It's brewed in the UK by Marstons.
They've done a great job though. It's 95% as good as an expensive craft IPA at more than double the price

Whilst there is rarely that thing of 'not nice beer' I'm not a fan of the American styled 'IPA' brews with the citra hops and sometimes (to my palate) the citrus notes being artificially boosted. I've a case of Brewdog Punk IPA that I'll do the odd can of but after a couple I'll change drinkA very pleasant brew & at only 4.5% it's an ideal session beer for this heat wave

Marstons Pedigree is a proper session beer.
