Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Tried Miller-Lite triple hopped last night, actually a very fine light pilsner, ideal for heat infected regions.

Bruichladdich The Laddie. From ASDA surprisingly. ASDA also has the cheapest Beefeater gin.

If I can steer tonight's after-work drinks to the Harp in Covent Garden then I will be enjoying some real ale in a couple of hours.

The Harp is a great little pub - can be crowded though.

Boddingtons Draught Bitter
3 cans left in my fridge on weekend. Never heard of it before - tastes ok. Only 3.2 alcohol.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Does it have that widget gadget that produces a foamy head?
I don't care for it but drank it in Salt Lake City as I did not have a bottle opener and most of the better stuff in the state liquor stores was in bottles.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Was very popular in the early 90s, the brewery was not for from Strangeways prison as a I remember. It's brewed somewhere else now, I believe.
It was better in the non-widget version, but I'm pretty sure you can only get the widget version now. Actually, the widgets work in Guinness.
3.2%! You don't see beers of that refreshing strength much these days.

Cocofina, coconut water with pineapple and lime. Bit of rum wouldn't go a miss with it too.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Had fish (halibut) tacos done by my wife who is cajun, with a little of Puerto Rican adobo mixed in. Since I'm now in an official IPA kick, reached for what seemed to be a good choice: Hercules double IPA. Brewed in Colorado, won some kind of Australian brewers award.
It was spectacular, a match made in heaven.
So I decided to read the label to find any other suggestions for food pairings and right there at the bottom right hand of the label the magic words: Best paired with fish tacos or aged dutch cheese.
Can anybody here give me a lead on a good aged dutch cheese?

Tried some Argi malbec with a 7% cab sav blend. Quite smooth and made a nice change from the usual hefty Aussie shiraz that dominates the market here.

I can also recommend this, that I posted previously: Amarillo from the www.brouwerijdemolen.nl a wonderful pale ale at 9.2% with cara malts, saaz hops and dry hops.
He's now selling his beer in the States and is worth sampling.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
The joys on being in England on a nice warm August day.
Woodies beer festival. I never go there except for their festival http://www.woodiesfreehouse.co.uk/
Welton's superb Pride and Joy at 2.8%
plus
lots of beers at around 3.7% 3.8%
plus
Thornbridge Jaipur
plus a couple of strong new local beers from Chessington. I could not handle a porter tonight but the other 6.6% beer -East - was a good way to finish the session

All takes places in a pub that used to be a sports pavilion with a big beer tent outside. Grass under my feet was top quality.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Discovered this wonderful brewery in Haarlem near Amsterdam yesterday: http://www.jopen.nl/?lang=en
Their Koyt beer brewed without hops and in the style of early 1500s beers which is magnificent.
They also have a very heavily hopped beer which is the current fad in the beer drinking world, but again superlative.
Also sampled a very dry and champagne like Lambic beer: Oude Geuze Boon A Lancienne.

I bet you that you felt you had been sleeping with Old Rosie when you awoke in the morning after a good 2 or 3 litres or more of that!

Good point it is a screw on lid. Westons is amazing though, every cider I try, even the nice Normandy ones I still think, ooooh I fancy a Westons.

They used to run R.R Merlin engines on that stuff.
Formby's tip! Drink in half pints and add a couple of slices of orange to soften it up...
