leopardml2341 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Rather than currently drinking, I'm about to be drinking beer in Ghent. Only there for the day on Monday, but if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations for bars to visit I'd be very grateful. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Called in at Beers of Europe at Setchey near King's Lynn, Norfolk a couple of weeks ago and picked up several types of Bavarian beer from this years Oktoberfest for Christmas. The Hacker Pschorr Superior fest beer is coming in later, possibly mid December. This warehouse has a huge range of international beers and spirits. Well worth a look on their web site.

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted November 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just a hot cocoa for me tonight after last evening spent sampling a few tasty brews here https://camranorthernireland.com/festival/ Some top beers, my favourite was Brass Castle Hazelnut Mild, from the lovely town of Malton. Good norn iron beers on offer too. Cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Can of cold Draught Guinness at the moment. Have bought a few "special" beers for Christmas at Asda today - one is a "Sticky Toffee Pudding Beer" - sounds interesting !! Not a beer, but I got a(nother !!) bottle of Josef Meier's "Krauter Likor" - a 30% German liquor of herbs and spices - better tasting I think than Jagermeister, and just £10 a bottle at Asda today. Aldi do a similar drink, Jagdbitter, all are quite nice on a cold winters night !! PROST !! (or is it Frost !!). Brit15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2017 At a meeting in Bristol yesterday where one of the speakers was the founder of Orchard Pig cider. A fairly remarkable business that has grown rapidly in just ten years. So the conference was about brand development and the Orchard Pig branding and social media is all very clever. The conference organisers kindly gave us a goodie-bag including a bottle of Truffler. We tried it last night and I thought it pretty ordinary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43110andyb Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Tonight's after match tipple is a Nut Brown Ale from Samuel Smiths. 5% brown Ale and quite difficult to pick up in Darlington. I picked up this bottle from an Ale house/shop in York- The House of the Trembling madness! Well worth looking up if your in York. A bonus point if anyone can name the detective that liked this particular beer when relaxing at home? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2017 Just an aside, but the Co-op own brand Czec lager is stated as "brewed in the Czec Republic", and is apparently brewed by Staropramen. It does not seem to have changed in taste - is it old stock? I wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame you don't see it about in the Midlands. Church End Goats Milk seems to be going down a real treat at the moment, as does Coastal Hop Monster, and Purity Lawless in a can from Morrisons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More particlarly it was bottled Old Brewery Pale Ale, but he was apparently partial to Morlands (in The Dead of Jericho he visits a Morland's pub close to the murder scene), and also was seen quite often in the Turf Tavern, which offered a number of decent ales.

Thanks- I had totally forgotten about that episode where he drank the pale ale (I think it was 'Driven to distraction'). The episode I remember was in his house and there was a Nut Brown bottle on view but I can't remember the episode unfortunately! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, but you're 100% on Driven to Distraction being the episode in question. I used to call the Pale Ale "old socks" as that was its distincive odour to me. Used to drink it in the Citte of York by Chancery Lane tube - probably couldn't afford to drink there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 25, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yesterday I went to the dentist, with some discomfort. He applied a temporary filling - but also provided several prescription items. As a result I am off alcohol for a whole week. Retired to France and can't drink? How stupid is that?
