Went down to Lewes for my birthday and finished the trip by going to a Harvey's pub and then to the Harvey's Brewery shop and bought as many bottles as I could carry.

That came from the Harveys shop in Lewes. Our local Harveys pub has it on handpump at present. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) 35yr old has just come back home for two weeks over Christmas with the front end of his car smashed in. His Insurance is sky high already, due to misdemeanours, so guess what his Christmas present will be. (A trip to the body shop). Anyway, enough moaning about kids. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, and, Prosperous new year. Currently Drinking, a Very large Vodka and Tonic. Bon Noel. Andy.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2023 Three more parcels to wrap. Having a break with a glass of Wild Turkey in memory of the late pal who used to supply it "wholesale" when he worked for the importer. When this bottle is ended, I have just one more as yet unopened.... I'm clearly getting old, though. I can't take it "straight" these days and, to my shame, had to add some cola. Merry Xmas, All.

RMweb Premium airnimal Posted February 17 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17 I went to the AGM of the NSR society today after being a member for over 20 years. This is a very small society catering for a small pre-grouping independent railway. One of the Joy's of going by rail is that on the way back I can have a pint on the station at Stoke on trent. There is a small independent bar on platform 1 dedicated to Titanic brewery. I enjoyed a pint of Titanic plum porter which is always good. Tonight's was on form but rather keep to the same beer, I had some of the other offerings available including the Iceberg and the Steeridge. I have to admit it the plum porter wins out. What a way to end a very pleasant day. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17 (edited) Its a bar that we have been past a few times but it wasnt open so is on our list of palces to try.

NIK Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Hi, I was given a selection of bottles and cans from Guy Ritchey's Gritchie Brewery.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24 Good to see North Coast Brewing still alive. Its many years since we last had any of their beers. The first time was in Fort Bragg at the time that the Skunk RR ran all the way from Fort Bragg to WIllits and their railcar was used to do the post along the route to isolated communities. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 For those of you who prefer Bottle Conditioned beer and not the fizzy keg stuff: After a trip down to Bournemouth recently I came back with two cases of Isle of Purbeck Brewery https://www.isleofpurbeckbrewery.com/ bottle conditioned beers and they are lovely, on a par with my current favourite BC brewery, Kinver https://www.kinverbrewery.co.uk/ . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 27 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27 This morning, and for the next three mornings, I am required by my Rheumatologist to drink 5 glasses of water, over and above my usual fluid intake. Tuesday, late morning, Nurse Corinne will attend chez moi to give me my annual infusion of Zoladronic acid, which takes about 20 minutes. My drink of choice these days is Chardonnay, whether in France or the UK. The bitter that I enjoyed for decades, as did late first wife Deb, now seems to go down more slowly than before. Being 75 does have its downsides! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
