Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Ale enthusiasts can be obsessives in the train spotter mould. Constantly seeking new brews to tick off their lists rather just enjoying nice ales. If you overdo it your health will suffer too. In mitigation, you never get a punch up at a beer festival.
As for gin, I will never buy Gordon's on principle since they cut it to 37.5%.

A strong hot coffee. Maybe with a dash of Johnny Red...

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
You know its inevitable, you can't delay it any longer, you really don't want to attend, but it's here, the first barbecue of the season. The worst thing is, I am hosting it, good job someone who knows how to light the damn thing and keep it burning will be attendance.
I have decided to remain a good two or three drinks ahead of the guests: G&T with Beefeater 24.

I like a little preparatory pre-drink as well. Can't have people showing up while I'm stone cold sober. I'd be doing them a disservice as a welcoming host. It's the difference between me reluctantly emerging from the back room when the bell rings, and me having the records and atmosphere already cooking and slinging the door open with a jovial "Hello!!!"

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Well, I can recommend that Beefeater 24, probably the best London gin out there.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
I'll try it. Well, chances are I already have at some point. 
I just bought a bottle of Woodford Reserve. It's good with a soda or in a cocktail, but straight it's not really to my liking.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
WM I alternate between both styles. Reading paper with feet up, no shave, shuffle out after people have been here a while, or starting a wee bit too early, guests late, loud idiosyncratic music in house and on backyard speakers, Hawaiian shirt etc.
I was just reading most of the Scottish whiskey industry is foreign owned. Many singles by Jim Beam, which is funny, but even funnier is that I think Suntory now owns Jim Beam.

I believe you're correct about the Suntory acquisition. Shameful.

Found it in the back of the cupboard. Improvised with ginger cordial, good stuff from Queensland, and mynrrusty old soda stream fizzy maker.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Isle of Arran 1996 from the cask. My own personal hogshead. At the distillery.
The manager climbed a ladder and opened it up with me. Not been open before. Sherry hogshead second refill. Light colour. Smooth - no off notes or sulphur. May keep until it hits 21 year old. I have lost 20% angels share and the strength is down to about 52%. I was not aware whisky lost strength as well as volume over the years.
Currently drinking isle of Arran beer a "sunset" beer in a hotel. Had the Arran blond before bottle and draft and in one place CAMRA was mentioned in the advertising but the beer was served under pressure not by a hand pump.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Oban at the distillery. Fourteen year old standard dram but also had eleven year old not for sale.
Then Deuchars at the brand new and very popular Wetherspoon.
Dreich, so drinking was the best option for the day. You should not need a hooded snowboarding top in June.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
By the way, that Poitin was good stuff, I had two with coke before dinner last night and I was flying in a very friendly sky.....
Having a Beefeater G&T with a dash of angostura bitters.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Nice pot of Ceylon leaf tea yesterday in Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. Lovely Rennie Mackintosh building. £2.10 for a pot of tea - a bargain compared with the afternoon tea scam in the big London hotels. It was even cheaper than a crap chain like Starbucks. Glasgow School of Art still closed due to fire damage. Glasgow was the warmest part of the UK yesterday too.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Several G&T's intermixed with three quarters of a bottle of a South African merlot at 14.5%, ended up surfing Youtube for Midnight Oil videos with the kids. First hangover for sometime this morning, can't say I can recommend it.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Still trying to polish off that bottle of Woodford Reserve. The lady is off at a baby shower and I'm playing some tunes while straightening up around the house. At this point I'm just swigging straight from the bottle.
