[LesTom]

The king of beers

 

[531Man]

First for the evening, my Hoppy Pale ale of Kent.
Rich and ...... hoppy! Cheers

 

[531Man]

Moving quickly on, my Camden Amber ale. Deeper Citrus flavours.

Then SWMBO'd demanded a glass of red, before the lamb was to be served would you believe!?
So of course I decanted the organic, Green, kind to forests etc. Claret for her:

A bottle of Carrefour's best.
And it's really good Claret!

So, what's your verdict on the Experiment?

I know your evening has been ruined worrying about what happened, well Town won 2-0 and will play league football again next season.

Waiting for a Chinese for the kids. Nethergate Suffolk County. Very nice.

Yeah,but did you buy those pumps?

The site Rod is looking at looks very much like Waveinn, they sell sporting goods it's where I buy my coarse fishing gear from.

Peculiarly we bought the Lindemans not in England but on a day trip in a Calais booze store!
There are even apps. now to reclaim the lesser French VAT as you pass through the ferry or Eurotunnel customs zones to make it fully duty free.
It makes economic sense for us as we live close to the Channel port of Dover.
And of course we buy French cheeses to bring home too.

I bought my Braumeister direct from Germany skipped the 20% tax was sent in the post for 80 Euro.

I don’t think we get as good Aussie wines as we used to, or perhaps they are more expensive.

After spending 3 days trying as many vineyards as we could in th Hunter Valley ( of which Blueberry Hill was my favourite) I get the impression it’s a bit like Italian wines they keep the best for themselves.

Agree with 531Man it is a question of economics but there are some very good Australian cheap wines less than $10 a bottle about 5 quid. McGuigan Black Label Merlot is $7.00 a bottle I used to buy a fair bit of Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz an expensive wine I used to get with a discount but there are others far cheaper and just as good.

Tonight Nancy Naylor Landlady not many of these left, not much of my bottled beer left full stop, apart from stouts.

Followed by a Cali Common.

So, what's your verdict on the Experiment?

It’s a very tasty whiskey, but it doesn’t have a taste of hops. Which is probably a good thing!

This was a present from my brother. He works in Glasgow Airport. The duty free do staff sell offs when lines are coming to an end. Every now and then he picks up some corking bargains.
A lot of these whiskies are airport specials and you don’t see them outside.
