I don't work for these people or anything, they are just who I use (in the UK):

Have a look at the beer section - all sorts (and the Insel-Braureri ones are really good).


The best thing is, you can drink as much as you like!


Some (I think Finnish) brewers have managed to develop a yeast that produces almost no alcohol, so their beers really are beers, as it were. For me anything is better than orange juice and lemonade or other sweet stuff.

Since I went teetotal about 2007 it's just tea or coffee, before then it was a pint of beer and on special occasions it was washed down with a glass of brandy.

When it comes to beer i pefer chech ones, much less bitter than the usual "Pilsener" most beers are based on in Germany. That said there are a lot of bavarian "Helles" non-Pilsener beers and i recently came to like them, too.
When it comes to harder stuff, i like scottish single malts but they are getting expensive since "brexit". Cognac is very good of course but also expensive. I keep those for rarer events, or meetings with (old) friends.

For "vespertine" (does one really say that?) drinking (ahem) i prefer chech and bavarian beers when thirsty, and some spiced rum at times.
"The Kraken" is ok, and sometimes i drink this ready-made spiced Montoya rum-cola lately. Not good i know

Just remembered I'd forgotten an old favourite in my post earler. I always had a liking for Hennessy Cognac and Crabbies Green Ginger but the Crabbies is quite scarce these days in my area.

I made a search to see if there was English pages about these two type of drinks-There wasn't.

The closest I came was this page
https://untappd.com/aeroebryggeri/beer

No page on Aeroe Brewery or Aeroe Whiskey

I'm not all that fussed on whiskey but have on rare occasions tried Irish whiskey which I find to be not as harsh.

Sorry, I meant whisky with ginger wine = a whisky mac. We might be talking at cross-purposes!

They taste a little different, but they are both translations from usighe beatha (basically 'aqua vita')
