^ Oh, cheers. Some info I didn't know before. :-)

Looks like brew dog is having a pretty bad day http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/fmcg/prototype-brewdog-beers-stolen-in-raid-on-essex-warehouse/353205.article

^Ah, that'll be why my local beer shop had these in stock yesterday then..

They were stolen from Ale By Mail though, not Brewdog.

It wasn't me.

Promise.

That really sucks.

Yeah, the owner's pretty pissed. Great haul if you like those beers though #conflicted :S ;)

Anyone else like Picon?
I got the taste for it when I was skiing years ago, all the instructors seemed to be drinking it at lunchtimes.
I gather you can make loads of cocktails out of it, but they were drinking it in beer, a centimetre or so in the bottom of a glass of Pelforth or whatever.
Anyway, they sell it in Gerry's on Old Compton St.
Buy some.

Beer thread. Alcohol thread is over there --->.

Granted, but you put it in beer.

Eh? You add the syrop to beer? Heathen!

Germans love that with their Rot & Grun

Honestly, it's what all the cool kids do!
All the borderline alcoholic french ski instructors, anyway.

Adding that to French beer might actually make French beer worth drinking. Those ski bums aren't as daft as we thought. :)

Pelforth will never be worth drinking.

I had some Wild Beer Co. Put it in your Pipe which a mate had left in mine over the weekend. Smokey, sweet and brilliant.

Luci pointed this out to me. You can get it in WHSmith

reading magazines cuts down on drinking time
unless youre drinking whats in the magazine

It's alright, I'm ambidextrous, I can drink and read.

Tucking into a bottle of this tonight. Unfortunately Dutchies don't do Tripel as well as the Belgies.

Where did that come from? purchase I mean.

Doing a bit of a rail trip tomorrow, so got these guys on board for company. Familiar with the Ringwood Fortyniner & the Brakspear Oxford Gold, but the other 8 are unchartered territory, although had a couple of good alternatives from the Wooden Hand Brewery before.

Will report back.
