This is important work you are doing. The Nation (or me) salutes you.
P.S. I remember Old Nick, nearly :?The older I get the faster I was0 -

Went to Gent at the end of Nov with a mate to see some of the 6 day racing - fantastic BTW - went to a 'bier shoppe' and got some leffe, cherry/strawberry/raspberry flavour bier. Also picked up a celebration pack of trappist biers, ranging from 7.5% - 10.5%. I shall have 1 of those on Chrimbo lunch - too strong to have more, I'll keel over ( cos I is a lightweight).0

This thread has been (partly) responsible for me deciding to start homebrewing. Thanks!

@Vitesse not a fan of fruity beers until my son-in-law introduced me to a Jams Squire "Summer Ale". He works for Malt Shovel Breweries in Oz and this stuff tastes of apricots! They use a hop from California. Wonderful flavour but I can only drink one at a session :?The older I get the faster I was0

Me neither - until 2 years ago when me and Mrs V went to the 6 day at Gent and became a fan of both.
Found a sports bar serving draught fruit bier - quality !!!0 -

Don't suppose you saw the Hugh and Oz thing tonight. I think on balance a slight improvement on James & Oz, and more about beer and cider than wine, which is always good. The cha in south London with a still in a garage looked interesting if a little over-enthusiastic.Mrs RJS wrote:My God, people like that really exist!1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah!

It's unbelievable, RJS. I'm still stunned and it's a good hour since I finished it.0

Not sure if you mentioned it or not as I'm at work and therefore can't really go through a beer blog, but have you tried Tactical Nuclear Penguin from Brewdog?

Not sure it really counts as a beer even though it started as one but at 37% it's certainly strong0 -

Ketsbaia, has it occured to you that this thread and the weightloss thread might be mutually exclusive?Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

You'd have thought, wouldn't you? But I lost around four kilos in December while putting all that beer away, so it would appear not.

BTW, I seem to have lost weight over Christmas as well. Just a few pounds, but somehow an almost entirely sedentary 10 days and a diet of meat, cake and chocolate has had the opposite effect from what was expected. Very little alcohol as I spent about a week dosed up on NSAIDs for my sinusitis, then antibiotics but the massive quantities of refined sugar should have made up for that. Very odd.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Drink it carefully.
I tried to share my birthday bottle with some friends but ended up drinking half the bottle myself which was more than enough0 -
