88D Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I wonder how many microbreweries will survive CV19? Or even my local! I’m going to get beers in to try and keep them running. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that tonight’s news is akin to losing the stitching of civilisation that binds us together. Think I’ll have a drink! Absolutely. This evening Purity announced a new product called ‘Pure Pub Experience’ - essentially, nine bottles of their bottled beers, two packets of Pipers crisps and a half pint stem glass all for £24. After club finished last night, I secured a bottle of Hooky Gold from Morrisons on the way home. It’s a very nice crisp golden ale. But that’s only half of the story - when I looked at the back label, it said how if I was in Southern Australia or the Northern Territories then I could claim a 10 cents refund if I returned the empty bottle to the supermarket. In short, I might well have consumed a beer in Worcestershire that was brewed in Oxfordshire but bottled in Australia! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Cheese Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I have only very recently started drinking again after stopping at the end of last year...put all my bottle stash/haul out of sight in a cupboard and more or less forgot about it for a couple of months. I didn't stop buying though, and with the cupboard at saturation point finally relented last weekend and have been chugging through a collection of mostly biggish imperial stouts...the BD Off Duty King seen below being a fairly hefty 13.2% barrel aged job which gave a good hour of sipping pleasure. Though I've plenty of single malts to hand thoughts have recently turned to rum too, and the purchase of a pair with some novelty factor...the Rumbullion chilli & chocolate is fairly self explanatory while the HMS Victory rum is at full navy strength and was matured in casks containing elements of wood recovered from the ship during restoration...daft I know but not overly expensive as it might be. **It looks as though the supermarket bogroll vultures are turning to booze now the pubs are forced shut...a good time to consider being a non-drinker for longer perhaps? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black and decker boy Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Tonight’s tipple: oatmeal stout from Sam Smiths and Tonkoko stout from Brew York. both obtained by mail order direct from brewery. sam Smiths Imperial stout is a cheeky little surprise too. Strong but deadly as smooth and tasty. My local craft breweries have kept me entertained this week too with On tap - Beechwood Bitter & Columbia’s Coffee Porter from Chiltern Brewery Edited March 21, 2020 by black and decker boy 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
43110andyb Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 My worry is that the panic buyers of the 24 cases of lager run out and get a taste for real ale!

You may well be right - in Morrisons this afternoon there was a notice saying that sales of bottles of beer and cider were restricted to three per customer. I got a Pure UBU, Hooky Gold and Golden Sheep - the latter of which I’m looking forward to try. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
