What are you drinking tonight 2025

[SMP Brewery]

Johnnie and Irn Bru

Didn’t know that was a thing, saying that anything added to Irn brew can only make it taste better than the foul thing it is

Better than a deep fried mars bar

Haha. No more beer, don't do straight spirits, and this is the only mixer left. Probably wouldn't recommend

Who was playing today. Muff was in the all Ireland junior final today in the football

Was the first game before a couple of Dublin league games. Antrim in hurling and Mayo in football.

Should be publicly flogged for that abomination

That’s a waste of a kipper

No it’s not. Kippers are the gift that keeps on giving. Eat it at breakfast taste it at bedtime.

Methinks you might be extracting the urine there rod

Thought I was being clever, at the supermarket earlier. Buy beers from reputable sources. Now these are not bad beers, let's get that clear. But are they worth the money? Very debatable. The stout is mine.

They are decent beers if you haven’t had a very good beer but I think once you try them they become (I’ve had to pause to find the correct term) a bit run of the mill trying too hard type of beers. I gave up buying them a while ago for that reason. Same old same as.

 

[phildo79]

Bruh, I think you nailed it. Was the reason I stopped buying them a while ago. Only bought them today out of boredom. Wish I never bothered.

And on a further note, I'd love to know why Tesco stopped selling Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Easily the best beer on the shelf and now gone. You can get the can variety in sainsburys but it's not the same beer.

We are literally talking about one of the original world class beers, the beer that started a revolution and is head and shoulders above every other pale ale in THE WORLD...and Tesco didn't think they should keep selling it.

Go figure?

I bought two bottles of fresh-ish (2.5 month's old) SNPA today. My bottle smelt of ass (lots of sulphur). The bottle I gave my FiL was glorious. I love the beer but never had that inconsistency before.

Should have sniffed earlier and switched glasses

Never would i do that

Been out tonight and had a few Budvars.
Hardly ever drink lager but make an exception for the Czech lagers. In truth, forgot how much I enjoyed one. I’m now inevitably sat reading about decoction mashes and 90 day lagering and planning yet another new brew…

Same here. Tank Petrol is OK but Ultra Phase tastes like orange juice (to me, anyway). Dare I say it, Brewdog Hazy Jane is my go-to NEIPA these days, considerably cheaper as well.
