[Drinking] The official Fridat drinks thread

[Superphil]

Just finished working for the year and have cracked open a Brewdog Triple Hazy, their amplified version of Hazy Jane. [MENTION=268]Superphil[/MENTION], have you tried this yet?

Yes I have, and also the Hazy O-G, both are very nice I thought. Did you try the Double Punk (8%), that is really good. I wouldn't bother with the Jack Hammer though, I though it tasted like a Special Brew throwback.

I've been craving Guinness all through lockdown, I never liked it before though?

Give Brewdogs Jet Black Heart a go, I reckon it knocks spots off any Guinness I've ever tried.

Do they have tea plantations in Dorset? Probably not, in which case why do they put a pretentious label on it. Same as Yorkshire Tea...

They do in Cornwall https://tregothnan.co.uk/tea-plantations/

I actually worked hard this week.

Will celebrate the weekend with a few Hendrick's and tonics.

White grape and Blackberry fizzy water for me.

 

[Durlston]

Lucozade orange while watching Ronnie O'Sullivan v Judd Trump in the World Grand Prix semi-final snooker.

I really know how to live life on the edge.

Anyway, a Tiny Rebel Shakedown Mango Vermont gets me started.

The whole Jane range is damn good. I like Double Punk and have tried Jack Hammer ....which (whispers) I like I like really bitter double IPAs so it works with me...my Xmas stash includes a few cans

Brewdog Mistletoe Mafia Festive Vienna Lager next.

Champagne, Drappier Brut Nature Pinot Noir Zero Dosage. Recommended when I asked for something very dry. They were not wrong.

I’m not a Brewdog fanboy but I do love much of their stuff, just started a Layer Cake which is blumming marvellous.
Think I need to go shopping tomorrow and find some gems for Xmus.

I believe it is to do with the blend rather than the origin.

Yorkshire tea can be a bit harsh whereas I find the Dorset blend more refreshing.

Shame. Omnipollo beers, whilst completely out there, are usually very good. I guess they can’t always get it right.

Kaschk had a couple on in July . First beer shop for Christmas done and on Leffe Brune . The German beer shop tomorrow at a little offy i've found.

 

[atfc village]

Four pints of Marble Manchester Bitter from The Foghorn waiting for a little later on.

The name just makes it sound good.

I love Jack Hammer ! A solid west coast IPA generally.

I’ve just cracked open a Siren Death By Chocolate cake stout. Every year they release a series of decadent beers and so far so good !

F*** going drinking with you, I would have forgotten the name of that by the time I reached the bar.

Shit, I had no idea it is Friday. I thought it was Wednesday or maybe Thursday. Difficult to keep track when its dark literally 24/7.

I want to meet human beings. Or maybe just a cat. Or just something a bit more interactive than a fruit fly. Its just been six weeks since I saw or heard the voice of anyone I know but it feels like six months. No christmas or new years coming up to break the monotony. Nada. La Madre is working in the currently worst off carehome in Sweden and can not take the risk of me dragging home this virus, she's the only experienced nurse left. Its a war out there and I'm fortified in this couch. This couch is my life. For how long **** knows.

And in the midst of it all... the Swedish alcohol monopoly. 45 minutes on a tram got be able to get myself drunk. No chance. Just moving around in this 18 sqm apartment is overwhelming. Friday is nothing. It means its been about four days since I flushed my toilet though. Twice a week is how often I can stand the 24 hours of constant whistling and loud dripping from the toilet once its flushed.

On the bright side I went to the store today. I bought cigarettes, pasta, pesto and milk. Since its not possible to completely close the door to my "french balcony" its always cold in here - the milk lasts forever despite me not daring to open the refrigerator since in February. I will have fresh milk for days. Its one of those small things that makes life worth living.

Sounds like you are actually living within the film " Minority Report " ..... things WILL get better, the days will get longer, the vaccine will come to all. Hang on

Opened the Christmas beer tonight, Long Man APA.

If previous years are anything to go by It'll be gone by next week...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

It's my birthday, and thus I have consumed several glasses of prosecco (socially distanced and with a substantial meal).

Merry Christmas, everyone xxxx

A big shout out for the mother, doing an invaluable job.
Stay positive and try anything new to break the monotony. Learn a new skill, there is a wealth of info on the interweb as what the new skill could be. Drawing, there's a good start. I bet there is even a few recipes you could try with your super cooled, super fresh cow juice. Grab a camera and take photos from the window. Spot how many things are in the photo that you didn't see at first glance. A few days time, the days start getting longer, document the changing light at certain times of day.
This pandemic has affected everyones way of life, don't let it get the better of you
