What are you drinking tonight 2025

[Druss]

I’ve gone back to listening to LP‘s on a record player.

 

[Alastair70]

What records did you find?

Californication - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Passion and Warfare - Steve Vai

And Mrs70 picked up What’s The Story Morning Glory - Oasis.

Real Emotional Trash - Steven Malkmus and The Jicks was on the shopping list , but I drew a blank.

Got one!

 

[Druss]

Got one!

I still had mine into my twenties, the damn thing was like a black box, no matter what it went through it just didn't die.

I have vague memories of being maybe a year or two old, hurling it down a flight of stone steps and cackling gleefully as it was returned to me, pristine, to be hurled again shortly after.

I swear those things were forged in the fires of mount doom.

And, just to keep on topic, some whisky:

Now time for that NZ pale ale

NZ Pils(Wakatu & Moteuka)is going down well. Starting to clear, little hazy.

Hi folks, late to the party as I was taking SWMBO'D to Heathrow to go fly to Japan tomorrow to see the emigrated son and his family there.
My CADB blend,
Nice bitter and tasty!
So many motorway roadworks!
Most allegedly to change the proven Dangerous Dumb motorway with live hard-shoulder running into safe fluffy and warmingly reassuring "Smart" motorway lanes.
With more cameras! - like that'll make the HGVs (and other vehicles) impact much gentler.
We will not be using them, that's for sure.
Rant over.

 

[531Man]

Aagghh,
Quick b4 it's tomorrow!
Now my Kent Gold ale.
Lovely and rich.

 

[dave_77]

Tasty

 

[531Man]

I’ve had this a few times but honestly I like it best when I have it after a pale golden ale I just love the way the two beers contrast each other.

To that.
Just what I find with my CADB bitter ale followed by the Kent Gold ale.
The bitter seems to accentuate the richness of the First Gold hopped/ floor malted Maris Otter brew.
Tonight's pourings:

So much better than the other way around!
I'll have to try your suggestion of a 1698 to follow on, could be interesting.

Browsing the shelves here in Thailand. Non over £2.00

A chap I used to work with moved to Thailand. If you see him tell him I'm asking. His name is Alan.

I have a friend Alan who is married to a Thai-esse, and has a house to retire there too.
Is it possible it is one and the same Alan?
Say Hi from me too!
We enjoyed many a glass of vintage sweet white port when students in Bristol.

Not this one unfortunately, but it was a proper vintage and luscious.
