A bottle of kier royal, it is horrible.

Last night I was drinking horrible wine and coke.  So much for expensive wine being better.

Home made perry, conference pears from the garden.

Saw the TNP reference upthread, go careful with that stuff, I had a bottle for Christmas a few years back, went down very well.

Whisky Mac, made with the rye whiskey I found at the back of the cupboard. Given my current lurgy I've not got much sense of taste or smell, but it seemed tasty enough, and of course it's highly medicinal...

Usually a bit of a Belgian beer freak, but McEwan's Champion fills a gap.

However, if I find a supplier of Anthony Martins Gordon's Scotch Titanium ( 14%) in the UK...............

If you are not sure if there are any blackthorn (sloe) bushes or trees in your neighbourhood, look out for the white blossom that is starting to appear now.

A fizzy water with lime juice this evening, may have a nightcap later.

Bundaberg Root Beer. Used to drink it all the time when I was at uni the first time round, not seen it for years, but spotted some in coffee shop today and grabbed a bottle to have with dinner. It's just as excellent as I remember :D

Because of the Invisible Elephant Problem, I'm working on raising my blood alcohol content to something like disinfectant. A Beavertown Appelation, a bramley apple saison, at a rollicking 8.7%. Needs to warm up a bit, but very tasty when it gets going. Not appley. That alcohol only wanders in at the end like a drunk schoolchild trying not to be noticed. Should have bought more, one can won't shift an elephant.

I have an Eden golf gin. Not getting any hickory at all.

Yes, I hadn't realised until yesterday how many invisible elephants there were. I think that's because they're invisible. Anyway, they keep doing the mighty, mighty elephant march on me until all my joints sing like Billy Ray Cyrus trapped in a car crusher. At least the cough hasn't gone anywhere and only occasionally gives out a half-heart hack. Yes, I am sickening.

So, instead of being at the theatre, I'm sat here listening to Torres (not entirely cheering, I may have to conjure up the joyful notes of Ms Swift), updating the old kitchen iPad that decided to forget all the music it had (3,617 of 4,603 left to copy) and self-medicating on booze and ibuprofen.

I have a couple of oak-aged gins. I'm never entirely convinced. Will be hitting the London Gin Festival in a couple of weeks (have to survive Craft Beer Rising first, thank god they're not the same weekend, at least I hope they're not).

Anyway, the Appelation is definitely a sipping beer, very Belgian now it's warmed up.

Oak aged gin sounds interesting, oak aged grappa yes please.

I have an unopened rhubarb gin on the shelf at the moment, it may not last the weekend.

Well, I would be drinking a VERY nice primitivo, only for some inexplicable reason nothing more appears to be issuing from the mouth of the bottle.  Why???

I think the gin is to clean the lips, teeth & tongue after the goats.

Last week was mostly San Miguel (the proper Spanish verison) and Cruz Campo. I did however sample a few of Bushys Gibraltar Barbary Ale and Casablanca Beer, bothe extremely nice. A good friend also poured a couple of hefty helpings of Smirnoff Gold cinnamon vodka liqueur. Wow!
