Time to celebrate today’s glorious victory. Cheers!
Unfortunately I've overdone the celebrations as usual, half a dozen significant strength lagers plus a glass or two of red wine with my boeuf bourguignon plus a blackberry crumble has left me ever so mellow. Any match review will have to wait. ;)

Cheers lads! I’m having a Fullers ESB in the glass. Today me and my girlfriend has smoked some Sea bass and shared a bottle of German Riesling after having a week of vacation. In the weekend I will have beer from a place called Burnl...oh...let’s wait for three points before I post a picture of that bottle.

That one is almost 7€ a bottle here in the store. Got salary yesterday so I might buy that and the Boltmaker for the weekend. It’s a good beer for sure.
Expensive 😔 I pay £6 for 4 bottles in Tesco Supermarket.

This is a strange one but I'd wager it's a common issue. I walked the dog to a local pub the other day. Only the third time that I've been in since lock down. I drank half a bitter (to try it), was disappointed and then 3 pints of Birra Moretti well inside an hour. No great feat perhaps but it'd take me 2 or 3 nights at home to get through that. Why is that?

Moving on......... These are more like and all available on King St in either of those Polish Skleps. Cheap as chips too!

Careful though that Karpackie is 9%!

I'm guessing someone else was paying in the pub?? :p

The Nabs Head at Samlesbury sells Manns Brown at my request. I usually have a ‘Brown Split’ with Thwaites Original (I would have preferred the Mild if Michael the Landlord sold it).

The only mild that I ever liked was the old Whitbread version in the early 70's. I think it was later branded as Chester's. Thwaites mild at that time was like diluted bilgewater. After my usual preferred lagers I'd probably drown before mild beer would have any effect.

btw speaking of being an influencer, I recall the time when the Clog and Billycock was going through Landlords at a rate of knots in the late 90's. I believe Thwaites policy at that time must have been called in the boardroom 'the great redundancy money scam'. Anyway one new to the pub trade and very inexperienced landlady asked me if I was married? When I said I was she then asked "why does your wife never come in with you?" I said because her preferred tipple is a nice chilled glass of a decent white wine. The Landlady said 'I don't drink wine so what's wrong with that?' pointing to a pump on the bar delivering Leibfraumich on draught! I said 'she'd rather eat worms than drink that'. Needless to say small bottles of Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay appeared in the beer fridge shortly afterwards and the wine pump disappeared soon after! The only lasting problem was that er indoors wanted to come to the pub with me more. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot eh? :pensive:
