Slow down HT. You know how you get.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Just downed a Big inflatable Cowboy Hat IPA and now on a rose hip, rose petal and hibiscus Saison. Merry Xmas

Oh god. Don't remind me

 

[Cesar Chavez]

So HT a pilsner followed by 2 IPA's, and the saison - what's next, a nice festive Stout I could guess?

Happy Xmas!

Brew Dog all night tonight

Star Hill IPA and Devil's Backbone IPA ready for me a little later.

And at 10.5% this thread could get messy!

Hmm no 'live and direct' updates from HT, maybe that last IPA got to the spot!?

 

[Cesar Chavez]

Good advice, but possibly too late? Hope he hasn't fallen over....no, that couldn't possibly happen, right?

He doesn't do things like that.

Oh, hang on...

 

[Cesar Chavez]

Still no updates. Call an ambulance?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Still standing guys. You know me too well Cesar; a stout is always a good way to end a night-BORIS Hoppin' Frog Barrel Aged Oatmeal Imperial Stout

Happy Xmas Cesar and Pogue; now finishing off with a Thornbridge Bayern and some scratchings.

 

[Superphil]

Ooh, and a couple of sneeky Booker's too

 

[Cesar Chavez]

Good Nights drinking there HT! Happy Christmas.

Kids to bed, so just getting going on a Devils Backbone 8 point IPA.

Happy Christmas all. I've no more to give, bed calls. Bucks Fizz for breakfast, then the Coach House for good old, safe, Harvey's. Have a good one!

Thank you. Apart from the pint of BORIS I was only taking halves so I am feeling chipper this morning. Good to see the evening shift clocking on for work. Enjoy.

I visited The Wick on Sunday, the first time in years. Five pints of Punk IPA later I staggered out and headed to Ganges for a curry that I don't particularly remember.

What a lovely pint. I shall return.

Me and the Frau were Sunday night regulars at The Ganges along with NSC's Jack Straw. Lovely place. I'm not sure I would be able to make it after 5 pints of Punk IPA though. Merry Xmas!
