Think I’ve seen you say your working from home, which at least keeps you busy. When I was on furlough for 5 months it was far too easy to get to mid afternoon, having walked the dog and done whatever earlier in the day, to say “fuck it, there’s nowt else to do” and crack a few open. Now being back at work and since the pubs have shut again, I have not been drinking during the week at all. Not a conscious decision, just that if the pub isn’t open for 2 or 3 pints after work then I’m not arsed about having them at home. It’s the social aspect of it after work for me, rather than actually drinking. I’ve not really missed as much as I thought, but I’m sure I’ll be back at it when they reopen 😁 Quote

Not in Crawley Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 You lot have been innthis lockdown longer than us. Its getting really hard work now. Working at home all day, nowhere to go at night. Hard-core if you're not drinking at the moment. Quote

Casino Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Ps late shift has a review on youtube This one caught my eye, too, but no kegs that i can see https://www.fiercebeer.com/item/224/fiercebeer/The-Main-Event.html Quote

I need to go to Aberdeen on business between now and Xmas will go and pick up one or two of these kegs. Let me know if you want anything picking up (if you make space) and I will drop it off when down at my mums 👍🏼 Quote
Escobarp Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 https://www.71brewing.com/item/96/71Brewing/Head-Over-Heels-5ltr-Mini-keg.html again a bit strong for my tastes but sounds interesting. They white label beers to lidl up here and the ones I’ve had have been tremendous so far Quote
Casino Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Very kind, but if it gets any easier to buy it, the garage fridges will burst As for the strength, ill prob only get through one an hour - max 4 or 5, so compared with glugging becks, its not massively different Quote
ErnestTurnip Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I spotted this one the other day while I was looking for some Xmas stuff, like a couple of theirs(Huckabuck and Ikat) so it might be worth a go: https://www.saltbeerfactory.co.uk/product/tram/ Edited November 18, 2020 by ErnestTurnip Quote
