Tea with actual lactose free milk.

There's been a shortage due to Br*xit related supply chain issues. So I'd been extending out my last litre by using oat milk instead (the least blech of the non-milk substitutes)...

Kim managed to find some lactofree milk at M&S who have a different supply chain from Tesco/Sainsburys at £££.

Bit OT, but I'm after suggestions for a good beer that fulfills the following criteria:
1) The bottle size must be at least 750ml
2) Have catchy label
3) Not be of clear glass

It's to convert into a lamp for a mate, so I'll be drinking the contents 🙂

If you want 750ml you're better off with a wine bottle.
What colour glass do you want? I have some examples on my desk here....

Nice offer, thank you, but he's a beer afficionado, so I'll have to hope for beer ideas.

A bottle of Old Speckled Hen alcohol free.
*checks label*
Ok. O.5%.

I won't be buying it again.

Unless you're going to put about 4 inches of sand, or cement, in the bottom of the bottle I don't think it would sufficiently stable. When bottle lamps we in vogue the favourites were Chianti in the raffia basket stuff or the likes of Drambuie or Benedictine with wide based bottle.

... there's a Belgian Beer shop in Moreton-in-Marsh, they may have something suitable in a larger size?

Looking for something else I saw that Amazon has 6 packs of various Leffe beers in 750 bottles.

CAMRAMan · « **Reply #2660 on:** 22 September, 2021, 07:23:51 pm »

Thanks Rob. As for stability, I've ordered some glass sand that'll pour in through the top once the rubber grommet has been put in place around the cable that'll enter at the back of the bottle.

Excellent! I found a place online flogging magnums, but that might be OTT.

Harvey's "Signature" 12-year-old cream sherry, a pressie from our younger son. Very acceptable!

Earlier I was drinking Grahams 10 year Tawny Port. I like Port a lot. So when I saw this bottle at £11 in Asda I thought I would try it. Its ok but its probably the worst Port I have ever drunk. I have drunk a lot of port this is the first one to disappoint me.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #2670 on:** 22 December, 2021, 04:04:04 pm »

I've got some Taylor's 10yo Tawny on the go and it's not brilliant but Sainbo's had it. I've got some decent Quinto do Noval lurking in the cupboard waiting for the holidays though.

Well I bought various different supermarket big brand LBV and Tawny ports and they were all horrible syrupy shit,
Tonight I opened the Quinto do Noval 10yo Tawny and it's on another plane.

We’ve got a Pocas LBV which has been doing me for Port the last couple of weeks.
