^I think the decline can be directly attributed to poor quality; marketing gimmicks used to hide decreased brew times e.g. Ice lagers and lack of distinction between brands. The brewers make all lagers dependent on gaps in production runs, one day is Carlsberg pilsner, the next day its Stella Artois. The major brewers got too big and greedy.

Before Dinner... water.
After dinner, Balvenie 15 yr single cask with some dark chocolate. Damn, I think I'll have another one.

Drank Titanic ales from Stoke on Trent at the Mayflower in Rotherhithe last Friday. They went down well (geddit?)

Very nice historic riverside pub. Captain of the Mayflower is buried nearby. Others ate but I did not bother. Good duo playing blues harmonica and guitar.

I love the Balvenie. I think it is underrated - each of them. By the way they have the knew Island expression - is that the 15?

ah - almost forgot about St Pats but neighbour* dragged me up to the local Holy Redeemer Primary skeel where they were having a St Pats day fete or fundraiser. With Guinness Bar. I wasn't going to stay long but people kept buying me a pint of Guinness most of the afternoon and it was very mild cool and sunny 22C................

*Me and Ms fxh were just off up the street in the car to get a few coffee beans from the roaster etc.. "Where you two off to - all dressed up again" huh. I had chinos, ye olde button down must iron oxforde clothe blue with white guarded stripes and beat up desert booties. It was a Saturday. Nice bloke he is but it does say something about the state of society. FIIK what but....

Green tea with chopped fresh ginger and rock sugar in an effort to soothe my throbbing temples and queasy tum from yesterday's over indulgence of Blac Bush, Ireland's only protestant whiskey. Yes, even booze is sectarian on this shit hole.

We visited Bushmill last July. It was closed - but the shop was still open. En route to Giant's Causeway(disappointing)

I could not believe how much stays closed on the the 12th July and days immediately after - that pub opposite the Europa hotel for example.

I hate the causeway! We would always bring visitors there as it seems an ideal combination- mythology, geography, and a bit of a hike, but every time it seemed to get smaller. The rope ridge at Carrick-a-rede is much more fun, as you are suspended 200ft above a usually raging sea.

It's funny though, I have a chum who does landscaping projects over the whole of the UK and when the team were in Bushmills to ascertain the 'communities needs' with regard to the placing of flower planters, lawn and swings (yes, that is what a 'landscape architect' essentially does), they had a meeting with the local chiefs and social workers where they were informed that they had just entered the 'incest capital' of the United Kingdom! Apparently the rate of incest in Bushmills Co Antrim is the rate against which all others in the UK are judged!

The Twelfth was always a shitty holiday. Half the population would decamp the country if they could afford it, leaving the other half to squabble and bitch over whose paper tiger was better, the pope or the queen! The only reason I go back is to see my mum, I wish she would move!

I remember those type of nights! And it was Bogart who on his death bed confirmed that it all went straight to hell when he gave up whisky and took up Martinis.

In my extensive drinking experience, whisky remains the tipple of choice.

Now that, through a strict diet and drinking only moderate beer and wine (after a period of complete abstinence) my fatty liver and functioning has completely recovered and back in perfect health, it has crossed my mind that it's time to return to the world of whisky. And why not in moderation and not on a school night?
