And the alcohol for tonight is....?

Primarily a Friday and Saturday night thread for people to discuss their favourite tipples. Their latest Gin or Whisky collection or maybe the local ale.

 

Just poured my last glass of Goose Island IPA. Won't be long until the cork is pulled out of the Talisker.

I've also treated myself to a packet of Pistachio nuts (I love them, but don't have them very often as they're not cheap), which aren't lasting long.

Earlier I opened a pack of Hickory Smoked Nut Selection (roasted Almonds, Cashews and Macadamia), I've had to ask Mrs F to hide them as they will be finished.

 

Crew Republic Drunken Sailor, it really is a fantastic beer

 

White wine tonight, a bottle of La Vieille Ferme, 1.5 litre rather than the usual 75cl.

It's alright

 

Mrs Thunderchild is out for the evening and the kids are fast asleep so I’ve cracked open a bottle of Argentinian Malbec to wash down the balti!

 

Sounds good! I could really enjoy a balti right now, with a garlic nan or a paratha.

Cheese naan for me!

 

Just poured a second Metaxa, I have a feeling that it won't be my last.

 

[yellow tail] Jammy Red Roo.

It's actually quite nice

 

Sorry I'm being boring but I'm on Bicicleta Malbec second bottle, well shares with Mrs Aviador.

Also got a new Whisky Lock Lomond to try out later on

 

Sorry I'm being boring but I'm on Bicicleta Malbec

I would never call a Malbec boring

About to have an Inch's cider in the garden, perfect for this glorious weather

 

It's too cold for my liking to be frolicking in the garden

 

Incidentally Bicicleta is only 5.99 in mozzers at the moment.

 

Port wine laced with Vodka, Guaranteed to nullify the pain! Doctors baulk at my medication choice but it My demise, not theirs!

I find Port strong enough on it's own (love it with cheese), but if with Vodka works for you, go ahead.
I remember when I was about 12 or 13, my Great Gran had a massive heart attack (she was around 90). My parents rushed around, to be told by the doctor that "she wouldn't see the night out, a 30 year old man wouldn't survive a heart attack like that". He also stipulated 'no alcohol'. My Great Gran was asking for a Whisky. My Mom's thoughts were 'if she's not going to see the night out, she may as well at least be happy' and poured my Great Gran a Whisky. My Great gran lived for a good seven years after that.

I have recently opened a subscription on Amazon for a regular delivery of a splendid single malt at a lovely price of £14.15 for a 70cl bottle. Lots of good stuff at discounted prices if on subscription.

 

A couple of bottles of La Vieille Ferme polished off.

Just poured a pint of Camden Hells.

 

Rush - Golden Ale
I haven't got any, but I want some. Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush (RIP Neil Peart), have ventured into the brewing world. The music playing, is Rush - New World Man.

 

No ale here tonight. We're having a bottle of Aldi's finest Argentinian Malbec.

 

Argentinian Malbec

Me too........ my favourite tipple

 

It's been a while since anyone posted here.
Tonight, I've got three bottles (well, only two now) of McEwan's Champion. A strong (7.3%), dark ale with both bitter and sweet notes - delicious. I only intended to buy 2, but it was basically 'buy 2 get 1 half price' - a 'no brainer'.

Cheers!
