[Drinking] Fridat night drinking thread.

[LlcoolJ]

It's a deceitful but stunning beer.

When we won the title at Walsall, I met [MENTION=5306]Questions[/MENTION] on the way out. We had some celebratory Jaipur in New Street in a very short space of time.

My 11 year old son had to stop us getting on the Glasgow train instead of the London bound one.......

Indeed. A few years ago I met a mate of mine in town for a few Fridat after work beers. We started on the Jaipur but after two pints I switched to Farmer's Blonde (my favourite beer and only 4% so you can drink LOADS of it).

He ploughed on and after six or seven I had to pour him in/out of a taxi and help him open his front door.

Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar this morning and got my 'Sit in a Spitfire' moment as documented by a mate who went with me (ex RAF Nimrod Pilot at 6 foot 3 he was a tight squeeze when he got in!). Lunchtime to the White Horse Brasted which was the Biggin Fighter Pilots local and a couple of pints of Hogsback TEA.

We sat there contemplating the nearly three grand it needs to do their Mk9 Trainer Spitfire Flight and both decided it is on in the next twelve months. Luckily there is a Spitfire Simulator quite close to us in Wisborough Green so we are going to do a few sessions (less for him obviously) so we don't make a hash of our 'You Have Control' moments of the flight.

Now home complete with my Cockpit Photo it is Malbec time... [emoji106]

That sounds brilliant.

That sounds brilliant.

They have TWO Mk9 Twin Seater Trainers and they are both in use several times a day. In all they currently have seven flying Spitfires, three ongoing restorations, a Hurricane and an ex BoB Me 109E in the Hangar. Everything that isn't under restoration can and does fly during the summer months. If you are into them it must be one of the best Boys Days Out ever, especially if you follow it with a Pint in the White Horse.

It's going on the list.

If Honey Bear gets placed in the 7pm at newcastle i'm having a shandy with no lemonade in it

 

[LamieRobertson]

My usual on a Friday a few bottles of Aspall

Got a couple of these, lovely stuff.

 

[Yes Chef]

Working, working, working, trying to get everything organised for Sunday so I can go to the footer tomorrow, but still time for a Deya 'Steady Rolling Man' Pale Ale 5.2%. It is a beautiful beer

 

[Questions]

Ended up in the Brewhouse in Horsham and am in Tongelo blonde ... a smashing Bellgou
But have had to many now

Jaipur is lethal. The only time that I have ever met [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] I was in to my second pint of it in The Albert - after an all dayer at the footie. I could barely speak

Adam's Ale for me tonight, sadly, with an early morning training run planned tomorrow. Harvey's at the football and a nice night out in town should make up for that though. Saturdat is the new Fridat!

Jaipur is one of my all time favourites.

That's it now, you've reminded me of Tongerlo Prior. Must get on the Belgium website soon and do some ordering.....

 

[Perry Milkins]

Sadly...just a bottle of Chilean and a San Gim from Lids

A quality Bellgou beer ( just read back my post last night)

 

[LlcoolJ]

Not sure how it's happened but I'm like that woman on the Captain Obvious adverts.

"Still drinking!"

A lovely Cherry Bakewell flavored cider at 4% currently. I don't normally like flavored ciders but this is really rather good.

I think I must be ill. First drink since last Saturday last night and I didn't even enjoy it!
