The last post in the old thread naming a drink was at 23:45 so they didn't make the cut

I had a couple of old fashions early yesterday. Very nice. I decided not to get hungover and just go back on it.Jesus you are on it early. I am still recovering I was drinking whiskey liquor last night.

Meant to add this was a bottle over 40 years old. Not sure exactly how old. The cork had all but perished but the taste to the congac inside was the smoothest I have tasted. Wouldn’t have opened it but my Mum is 80 this year and it seemed the right time to sample it. She really enjoyed it and that’s all that matters.
Having a Jaipur that I didn’t manage to drink last night.

A Ruby Mild the key with this I find is bringing it from the garage into the house a good few hours before drinking to allow it to warm up but it makes for a nice malty mild.
This stuff just get's better
I got 4 sours to try.
I urge everyone to get one of these glasses
I'll sip one of these
A quick round up of this year so far;
The normal sequence of my two casks of beers.
CADB then Kent Gold ale.
Shortly followed by The Ned NZ SB with SWMBO'Ds Thai green turkey curry (who would have guessed it would be turkey!).
Lastly not a drink but the end of our spinning bell tinkling angels.
Lovely to see the candles almost simultaneously expire with a puff of smoky candle wax.

Not really a fan of "Bitter", but just started on the Festival Father Hooks Best Bitter - I'll drink it, but wouldn't do it again - Only 39 pints to get through.......

I really enjoyed the Remy Martin tour when we went a few years ago. Very impressive place.
No photos from me yesterday, away for night and battery was low. A few pints of Camden Pils

The best half-gallon of draught Guinness I've had since I was a lad.
I made a bottled dry stout called "Darkness Shall Cover the Earth" (don't ask)*. It was based on the best recipe I could find for draught Guinness, but substituting every barley malt for its Wheat Malt equivalent. It's delicious, if I do say so myself, but not for the limp-wristed. Being a bottled beer, though, even though it's not overcarbonated, it can still be a bit "burpy" if you try to neck it down half-a-glass-at-a-time.
I split a cold 50cl bottle into two glasses and topped up each with half a 500ml can of draught Guinness. It's nectar! All the burpiness has gone and the whole glass looks and tastes like creamflow. The Guinness has improved the drinking experience and my beer has improved the Guinness. A match made in Valhalla. Could drink it all night. Well worth a try if you have some stout knocking around. Did it a second time in the interests of scientific enquiry, and it's equally good.
*Can't remember if that came from a Wonder Woman film or the back catalogue of The Outer Limits. But either way: Do not adjust your set.

I’ve had quite a lot of beer over Christmas and New Year so tonight I’m starting with these.
