Testing a glass of carrot mead. Then a wee dram of Talisker before bed. Done nothing all day and I. Still feel knackered
What are you drinking tonight.

Just going to pour a wee glass of raspberry and lime cider. Pretty tasty stuff, but it's a bit more powerful than expected. Too much sugar given to feed too much yeast. Next time I'll be a bit more sensible.
I have a couple of bottles of this for starters later.

Starting off with a High Wire tonight from Magic Rock. Wifey is on their Cannonball IPA. Cracking brewery.

Just finished a brew day. Just opened a hobgoblin IPA that's been in the fridge for days. Got a bottle of owd Roger in there too.

Old peculiar is the first "real ale" I tried and which opened up this fantastic hobby. I should realy do a clone.I have a couple of bottles of this for starters later.
A Ron Pattinson's historical recipe - 1954 Whitbread Double Brown ale. It's not too bad. I should have used a more neutral yeast, I think.
It's one I now regularly buy, to think it wasn't that many years ago I wouldn't have touched it (and all the other beers I have tried) with a bargepole as I only liked lager back then.

No need to be ashamed chippy
Most of us have been through a lager phase when younger 
Sometimes with half a pint of cider and blackcurrant mixed in. 
When I left home in the late 80's, and foolishly went 'daawn sarf ' to Poly I found myself in a real ale desert. I must admit lager, newkie brown and cider were the only things that kept me from the horrors of sobriety.

That's like confessing to being a "flasher" ...
... but I have to admit that I drank lager in large quantities in the 1960's; and after pouring in a goodly dollop of Lime Juice it became quite drinkable after about the fifth or sixth pint!

Shamefully it'll be commercial Newcastle Brown ale as I don't yet have any home brews in store.... I need the bottles see.

Just finished a phone call with an old friend who also reminded me that "Lager & Black" was an option as well as "Lager and Lime" and "Lager and a Splash" (lemonade).
Her comment also reminded me exactly how crap the old Carlings and Heineken Lagers were (are?)!
Not as rubbish as Skol and Harp were!

Urg skol. That stuff gives me the shivers. Drank plenty of that back in my teenage years.
Edit. And K cider. Which you can still get.

I remember that! It came out just after diamond white, didn't it? Was in a dark bottle.

It's in a black can now with a red K on front. About 9%. Evil stuff!
