mickbrown Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I'm doing dry Jan for first time ever. If I can't do it this month with fuck all open I'll never do it. Quote
DaisyHWanderer Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Not forcing myself through dry jan during the current shitstorm but like others aiming to cut down big time. No beers until Feb, will have a few gins and the odd wine at weekend but beers are my usual choice of poison Quote
embankment Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Well my twice weekly stroll down Market St to get supplies from The Brewery Tap and have a quick chat has just been curtailed. Ta Boris !!. Don't understand why i can buy ale from the big four . (No not Metallica , Slayer ,Megadeath and Anthrax) But cannot buy takeaway Ale from a small local Bar. With 1 in 1 out rules in place. Plus i can no longer call into Tin Head. Looks like Cameroms is going to get an order. Or Bank Top as well as a home delivery from Black Edge. Wonder if Wrights will be allowed to open. Quote

Had a few sober weeks in the run up to the second sprog's due date...they fly out second time so have to be ready to rock at any moment! Quote
Escobarp Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Ive just had 24 of these dropped Off as a thank you From one of the charities I volunteer for. https://www.williamsbrosbrew.com/beer/rubus checked best before and June 21 so I’m good to stick to my dry Q1 and something to look forward to devouring in due course Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Be better off just buying a can of Shandy Bass than the zero alcohol stuff I reckon. I'll stick to water and the odd brew (no sugar). Quote
Rudy Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 What’s the point. I drink to forget about life, alcohol free isn’t gonna do that Quote

jeep Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I wouldn't sup alcohol free beer if it was free....... Tastes worse than - Fosters Carling Craft Beers Beers tainted with citrus...... Quote
Zico Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) staying off it till Friday weekends only this month but the latest Beer52 box turned up today which I'd totally forgotten about and is tempting me, especially the one called "Dank & Bitter" also got an HonestBrew box of DIPAs due that i ordered on Dec 18th which hasn't turned up yet will probably turn up Monday and be sat there all week taunting me Edited January 5, 2021 by ZicoKelly Quote

Not in Crawley Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Just not enjoying having a beer at home anymore. Its ok, but I'm missing a draft pint, so I'm going to try and do this month. No chance of having a drink in the week with work and home schooling, impossible. In fact I'm off to bed in a moment! Quote
