Hot Vimto. Like a hug from the inside.

Blodwyn's Beer from Tomos Watkins. Was on "Buy any 4" offer from Tesco, may have chilled it too much bit there doesn't seem to be too much to recommend it other than its 5% abv.

I posted elsewhere that I have too much whisky. Having seen Ian's gin cabinet, I am now not so sure.

In order to make inroads into my glut, I have emptied the last bit of a bottle of Glenlivet 12yo into a glass. I should have made it last 3 days. I winder if I can pour any back?

Port. Cheap Ruby Port from Aldi.

Perfectly drinkable in my normal port modus operandi (i.e. move to the port as a last drink after a night out, then optionally finish off the bottle

)

I'm just at the "last drink" point right now...

Calvados for no other reason than I like it.

I blame the Fridays for introducing me to it. Bastards.

Batemans Mocha and Chocolate Beer. Let's just say it's not as good as it sounds

My dog, it must be bad - it sounds absolutely dreadful!

Beer should taste of hops and malt. Anything else is an abomination unto the Lord.

I could still taste it this morning

Thatchers Vintage 2014 cider, nothing wrong with it but I wouldn't pay the going rate for it (multibuy offer in Jack Cohen's local suffermarket)

Another pint of greeny reddish vegetable plop. It is all I drink or eat these days, having become a vegan slurper and shunning all but fruits, veg, nuts and seeds, raw. Its great.

Blame my wife. She makes me share though, so I'm not entirely sure it's unadulterated altruism on her part...

I want pics, show me what's in it.
This is in it.
I thought he was making it up, until I went and looked.
I'm seven days behind!!!!

That's it. I don't know what's in it till I drink it all. I think you can build your own, but this a magical mystery tour, so far I've had a Blackwater number 5, West Winds, Helsinki Dry, Makar Glasgow, and Tarquin's Hedgerow Edition. I've included Taylor Swift for Larrers.

I buy the best five for the gin collection...

That's, erm, just one of the cupboards. There is some Hotel Chocolate Gin there, I can't remember the taste. I prefer gin-y gins. The worst one is some kind of Heston Blumenthal Earl Grey Gin. A present from someone, but it's too foul to contemplate. Banished to the bad spirit cupboard (yes, I have one of those, where the Tia Maria and Cherry Brandy live). Once a year I decide to make cocktails. The aim is to get someone drunk enough that they finish the Unicum.

That is good planning.

I'm not sure if I mentioned that I went for my first Christmas Works dinner earlier this month and there was an impromptu and obviously unplanned Gin-erfall. Lots of gin falling down over shelf after shelf. I knew it was impromptu on account of the mess, and the faces of the staff watching.

You are already set up for unplanned Gin-erfalls

I decided that the Pingu gin cupboard was getting a bit low for Xmas so have just been gin shopping:

Had some Pickerings G&T earlier, now on Ampleforth's Bathtub gin

ian · « **Reply #2124 on:** 20 December, 2015, 11:38:46 am »

Ooo, you have a gin I don't (the Hammer & Sons one). I've had it few times, I think we were knocking back some big G&Ts in Madeira the other year. Monkey 47 is one of my favourite gins. We seem to be acquiring quite a few very good German gins.

I was sadly forced to do the Bermondsey Beer Mile again yesterday. I may as well give up and become a beardy hipster. Once I was well-lined with grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate brownie bigger than my head, much beer was consumed, and there was much, much happiness because we were blessed, Prairie Pirate Noir on tap at Bottle Shop. It's not quite as good as Bible Belt, but oh god, it's still unmeasurably gorgeous. Smooth, rich imperial stout aged in rum barrels. It's like liquid pudding. So what if it's 12% boozahol and at the time I most optimistically call post-breakfast

Unfortunately for my bank account, they had Bible Belt (and a few others) in bottles. At £14 a pop. Look, it's cheaper than flying to Tulsa to get them.

(Weirdly, we discovered Bible Belt in Paris, there's a fantastic craft beer brasserie opposite Gare de Leon.)
