Thought I'd pour myself a frothy glass of beer from the machine as the wife is out (not that she has much bearing on the matter, she'll be in the pub later I'm sure).

Splutter says the keg of Clwb Tropicana. I guess I won't be having that then.

So was mine. Many years ago. Unfortunately , since then , I have had too many bottles that were past their best. Beware supermarket Barolo.

Brandy and Soda. No ice.

Never thought I would - I love a cognac or an armagnac, entirely unadulterated - but I've been listening to old plays on BBC Sounds in which - for example - a fruity voiced chap repairs to his club and asks the steward for "A large brandy and soda. I shall be in the Smoking Room; send up a cold supper and today's Times. I'm expecting an urgent wire from Rangoon - should I nod off, don't hesitate to rouse me." etc.

So I thought I'd have a bash at it.

Aldi’s own brand “Chevalier “ cognac.  Not at all un drinkable.

The person whose turn it was to bring a bottle to Clwb Wisgi has supplied Ben Bracken.  I don't know it, but I'm not impressed.   :-\
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

It's nice, but a bit much and I can feel all 7% of it

I'm on some DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL painkillers for an injury so I've tried some 0% stuff - I really can't tell the difference between real Leffe Blond and Leffe Zero Blond (Doom Bar Zero is awful)

I quite like the Ghost Ship zero alcohol version.

Very cold Carlsberg Pilsner, as they term it nowadays. Not much alcohol, but quite refreshing. I found a traditional pint pot at the back of the kitchen cupboard. I must say that there is something very satisfying about drinking from one.

Old Peculier.   I first had this back in the early 80's,  it's a pleasant brew, but I'm sure it used to be stronger & have bits in it.....

Old Peculiar was always famed for tasting better on the return journey. That’s not a compliment.

We emptied the fridge at 360 Degrees. Now transferring it from my fridge to belly. Their elder saison is like running headfirst into summer so hard that you get a hug from the concussion.

I also found that the Adnams Ghost Ship version was pretty good if a bit grapefruity - but, of course, throwing caution to the wind as it's 0.5%  ;D

Attibassi espresso. A relatively small roastery in Bologna. Nice, not packed with shite like Lavazza. Best of all, I get it from TKMaxx. Really weird how they stock 1kg bags of Italian bar coffee.

Water. I gave up tea a couple of months back when the gastritis got nasty. Coffee at home, ditto. Strangely, coffee when cycling doesn't bother me.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

I think labelled as 0.5% because they can't guarantee zero. Not quite sure what the others do to be able to state zero?
