What Are You Drinking? V2. Frosty Jacks - For The Discerning Pisshead

[Bleaney]

Right. OK. I think I get where you're coming from.

In back on topic drinking issues, I'm on the Aldi Riesling again. Lots of value for less than a fiver. A blue and some hash to go with it.

Supermarket own brand cider is surprisingly good for the price, especially mixed with blackcurrant. Asda own brand seems to be the cheapest alcohol available at £2 for 10 units. Morrisons own brand is £2 for 8 units, I usually go for that as I find it easier to "cruise" all day and not get too drunk with 4% ABV, rather than Asda's 5%

They both work out way cheaper than the 7.5% dreck from the corner shop, tastier too

Asda Extra Special South African Pinotage Rose. Very floral on the nose, insanely fruity on the palate. Very nice

Liked the cider in Spain 24 years ago (Asturias?) and also those from Normandy and the South of France. The English ones, Savannah and Apple Bandit I don't like anymore.

OT: Warsteiner 0,0 (does that count?)

I've never seen Warsteiner 0.0% for sale over here. What's it like? I do like Warsteiner from time to time.

Bought some more of the last Wolverhampton Banks's, with Riesling for later to welcome the Equinox.

Thatcher’s Apple & Blackcurrant cider. Lowish ABV but (black)currantly on sale for £4.50 in the clearance at Co-Op so dandy sez I

Fierce Beer Rhubarb Fruity Pale Ale.

Got-dayum is that a tasty beverage. Not even remotely beery, but as far as just plain deliciousness goes: we have a winner

EDIT: Interesting tasting note wot I just discovered: tea. Bog-standard (actually kinda fancy-tasting) English Breakfast Black Tea. Can definitely taste the tannins but also the actual tea taste. Interesting…

This is the dividing line between Polish lager and Polish tramp juice. And it has a bison on the can. Can't go wrong with that.

 

[Perkins : Reborn]

The one; the brand that is a friend to alcoholics all over Britain. Distilled with sugar beet too, so tastes a tiny bit like rum. A fine dram once you're in the requisite frame of mind.

Na zdrowie I'm partial to it sometimes, at 6% it delivers a good kick up the arse.. best enjoyed from a brown paper bag. Tonight I started with tyskie, now drinking vodka with mango juice.. very eh metrosexual I think the word is?

Co-Op Shiraz Rose

Cut through the greasy, high-sodium meal we had tonight a treat!

 

[Perkins : Reborn]

The Glen's again, after a few Guinness West Indies. But with methadone tablets on top. I do actually need to go out and do things, so I'm hoping there's no conspicuous stagger. Feeling good though.

Timothy Taylor/Northern Monk Nitro Unity Stout.

Guess it wasn’t selling at seven quid a four pack so they’re selling it of for a fiver. Much more tempting.

Decent stout too. Very light in flavour which may not be to all tastes, but very refreshing for a stout.

Terrible beer from a Kurdish restaurant in Paris. Way too much hops.

Probably my favourite beer style, and I adore Timothy Taylor in particular. I'd love to see this on sale around here!

I believe it’s called Northern Unity. Collab between two (presumably Northern) breweries. Good shit. Drinking more tonight
