I’ve just been to Tommy Wrights.

He was telling me he can’t stock the Rivington and Cloudwater stuff fast enough, selling out with a day or two every time.

Ive just spent £30 on:

Cloudwater - Mountain Lager, 6%. It’s fucking obscenely good. A lager mixed with IPA and when I’m a millionaire I’m filling a pool with it.

Also got some Rivington’s:

KL KL - IPA 6.3%

As the rain falls - IPA 6%

Never known Fog - IPA 5.2%
 

See you tomorrow

@ZicoKelly @Casino

Haha I was in at lunchtime after having a Greeleys pie and hot beef barm

Picked up those 3 and an illumination 

Had a cloudwater delivery in the morning and another laithwaites one this afternoon 

Drink less but drink better I keep telling myself 

[Casino]

I find you drink the first 8% one, lots of aromas and mouthfeel

3 or 4 in and its glug, glug, glug

Which is a shame

I love Guinness but I bow to anyone who drinks more than 8 in a night. Be like shitting a Goodyear tire 

I've done a 12-pack on more than one occasion.

When beers are selling for anything up £8 and £9 a can, draught Guinness at £1 is incredible value.

These 6&7%’ers are not to be taken lightly are they?

I feel like I’ve had about 350 pints. Only had 6 tins.

And let me assure you, Fog Farts are so dense you could pick them up and throw them out of the window. The wife was fuming when she woken by the sour stench at half 6.

Going back for more later.

Basically, each 330ml can at 7% is roughly the equivalent of your standard pub pint, but without the volume of liquid.

These are all 500ml cans.

Id had a few nights off so may have overdone it

Treated myself to some El Dorado 12 year old rum yesterday, really looking forward to that.

Not for a few weeks though.

It's lovely stuff. better than some twice the price too.

I can easily do a 12 pack of Guinness in a 24hr period - I find black shits a refreshing change, I feel fresh as a daisy the next day too, similar volume of craft ale or premium lager or cider and I'd be filling my pockets with stones and walking down to Braddy Lodge.

These 7/8/9% ales that retail at £7/8/9 - isn't it just adding a veneer of respectability to what is essentially a tipple for tramps brewed by scruffy beardy herberts?

To me it's no different than the Karpackie 9%, Perla Black or Dobre 8%  etc. Beers (often augmented with skunk joints) favoured by the daytime dosser drinking club that convenes on a daily basis on a stairwell around the corner from Raja's Penny Profit - away from the prying eyes of those who run their lodgings, Emmaus at the old barracks, where supping is forbidden...

Never feel rough after a Sesh on the black stuff which is one Of the reasons it’s a preference. 
 

Perlas are slippery slopers, the yellow is a nice honey flavour, but couldn’t have more than 2 because it’s so sweet, the green one you can feel an impact straight away.

The black One forget about it. Wouldn’t surprise me if I woke up under the 61 bridge with one shoe on, doing my best Syd Barrett impression.

Theres a reason the polish shops give them you in a black Bag so the local a&e can see what you’ve been on instantly.

going along with this way of thinking, isnt whisky like the beer version of evaporated milk or powdered egg ?

I’ve been mulling this over for 5 minutes now and quite honestly, I’m right baffled.

Yes, pretty much.

If for the sake of the numbers we say pub beer is 4% ABV, strong cans are 7% ABV and whisky is 40%

Then a 500ml can of 4% is pretty similar to 300ml at 7% and 50ml at 40%, so a pub pint is a 330ml craft can and just over a double scotch.

It's all about the units.

So, the guy who has a double actually drinks less than a pint, although he looks like the bigger pisshead.

Mate. How the fuck did you have any inkling what he was going on about?? 

[Traf]

Oh, I've noticed I didn't mention confectionery, so this will have to be Becksonomics as opposed to my usual Twixonomics

I'm not wired up right either. 😉

[Traf]

The real killer, of course, is the calories. Your pub pint weighs in at 200-220 calories on average.
Your double spirit is 50-60.

So drink 10 doubles instead of 10 pints and you've saved enough calories for a kebab.

Whiskey starts life as beer doesn't it?

[FrancisFogarty]

In my efforts to support the 'High Street' and a small business I have amassed (according to Trafs calculation ) the equivalent of 6,500 calories worth of beer in gift cards I have sent to myself.

In this way I'm avoiding pissheadery.

Here’s my ‘I enjoy stout’ story.

Wife and I went for a weekend trip to Cork and flew in on a Sunday morning. Taxi to the hotel, dump bags and out for a walk into the city. It seems Cork is very religious and according to a bloke we chatted with, before noon was for God and afternoon was for brewery. Seemed reasonable to me and anyway, by now it was only a couple of minutes to midday. 
Wife suggested we walk back to our hotel and have a nap to ready ourselves for the night ahead. Then she added the words, “But, we aren’t allowed to walk past an open pub!”

Righto, I’m game for that. Into the first pub on our journey, pint of Murphys for me and whatever MrsD was drinking. Probably some lager or gin and pop.

Anyway, fast forward a number of pubs, we got back to the hotel, slightly worse for wear but talked each other into a last Murphys before bed, the hotel bar being the final stopping place. It was number nine!

One nap later, we awoke at 7.00 and showered and changed for a night out. Walked to the hotel bar area to see that it was being used to serve breakfast. We’d managed to sleep through from about 4.00 Sunday afternoon until Monday morning. I felt great though. Not a hint of hangover.
