Tonight, it's my old standby (in its own special glass), as mentioned by cdrsubron7 on page 10:

What a sneaky way to show off yer sextant life the latest from my prospective son-in-law's brewmeistering efforts!! although at age 71 I can't quite make up my mind ....errr what's left of it!

ABV 4.1%; £1.09 at ALDI

Not as strong as their Amber Ale although at the same price. Very refreshing after food


Edit: since writing this, Golden Ale has appeared in an all-new bottle with a snazzy Union flag bottletop - strange thing is that it's now ABV 4.5%

[Eichhörnchen]

ABV 5.6%; £1.00 at B&M Stores

A small 355ml bottle but with a big punch - this crisp pale ale tastes almost like a dark beer with its full and satisfying bitterness; maybe you Yanks know how to brew proper beer after all

Just received a few different beers amongst my fathers day presents off the kids.

Nothing special but coming from my kids makes them kinda priceless if you know what I mean.

I'll take a picture or two soon.

Yes the one above was the first of this year's Fathers Day batch - along with a bottle of Lamb's. I've tried no end of fancy rums but I always come back to Lamb's

Here they be...BREWDOG in particular make some outstanding ales.

[Eichhörnchen]

ABV 4.2%; B&M Stores

Pleasant, creamy, frothy pale ale. Very nice to have with my pizza on Fathers Day

[Eichhörnchen]

ABV 6.1%; B&M Stores

Nice alcohol hit in this strong pale ale - a sound and vaguely fruity flavour, but overall a strong ale to be enjoyed on its own rather than with food

[Eichhörnchen]

Has anyone tried this yet?

[Eichhörnchen]

ABV 4.7% from B&M Stores


A nut-coloured ale with a malty bitterness tempered by a soft sweetness; very nice to drink slowly

Apparently produced in co-operation with Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson - I wonder whether that just means they kept pouring it down his throat until he fell over.

Moira got this for me just because it's got a zombie on the label and she's a big zombie fan

[Eichhörnchen]

5% ABV, from B&M Stores

What a beautiful beer - a blonde with none of the reedy wheat tastes you might expect - just a soft honeyed flavour with a strong alcoholic punch

[Eichhörnchen]

Alc. 5.5%; £1.29 from ALDI Stores

It does what it says: a very hoppy, strongly bitter ale and very enjoyable on its own. It's described on the till receipt as "American IPA" - despite the neat Union Flag bottle cap and the legend "Proudly brewed in Britain" on the neck label

...in honor of GoldenRivet' 45th birthday: https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/travel...c-way-56132d1e and my favorite when in Dublin, Ireland I even wear their Rugby jersey!...that I simply couldn't resist!
