Well judging the distance to your laptop I'd say it's gotta be getting there just for efficiency.

Bete Blanc Blonde (pineapple juice for SWMBO'd).
Beer is like the best palest Weissbier you can get.
I had duck with Pic St Loup.
Mme had pave de Saumon and local Jongleux white.
We did swap some, as always.
The tables behind are empty as OUR army had just left.
The British Rhino club winters sports contingent are in town.
Very well behaved, strangely.
Then we had to walk THIS far back to our apartment:
Starting with an old favourite then a TT landlord.
Polished off the last of last nights wine, then it’s back to the scoop from the new local saucerer.
I’ve had this red ale before, and it’s a worthy brew.

Looks positively horrific!

Went to a trial brew day today at Otterbank brewing and blending. He’s starting a new brew school venture and this was to see how the kit faired out when all 5 brewmonk 70l were in action. Lots of beers consumed over the day and good insights into a commercial brewery brew day. Back next week to dry hop and then bottling.

Looks very impressive!
Good selection tonight - beer, wine, port, whiskey. I should really go to bed before pouring something else

They're a nice job, I got the smaller version, but you'd easily put down another hundred quid on accessories to make it fully usable.The fermenters alone are £650 each
Was also advised to never take the main lid off once it's on but hey're handy enough to clean through the 4" though.

These come with a 3 year warranty on the all in ones. So good enough for a home brew set up
Last night in the French Alps apartment, so it's a takeaway Boeuf Bourgignon (later) and a supermarket bought Burgundy red.
I'm forced to have most of it and for my preprandial too, as SWMBO'd is doing a online conversational language course tonight, so doesn't want any wine.
Shame is what I say.
Still, can't go to waste and someone's got to drink it.
I wasn’t going to have a drink but we had some tonic left, so before it goes flat a G&T is in order.
Where are you skiing?
Back to FRONT photos, but same Red Burgundy wine.
A little young (a '22), but opening up with air in the glass and bottle.
Lovely long farewell now.
We've had '22 Rhones and Clarets here which were much more immediately pleasing.
Red Burgundy seems to need more time in bottle.
The white Burgundies mind you are all SUPERB!
The last pouring of the Carrefour special promotion Burgundy. £12.
Answer:
It's a
Proper French village / resort, les Contamines-Montjoie.
It's in Haute Savoie, bang next to Chamonix Mont Blanc.
Has a SNCF station and a passing motorway.
Lowish altitude, only topping at 2500m
but the Massif Mont Blanc next door gives it a good and long snow record.
The British Army Rhino ski club are here for their 30th year in succession, so it must be good.
