What's in your glass?

Silent Pool Gin.jpg

(With some fairly plain Indian Tonic - I can tell it is also going to go well with the pink peppercorn tonic I really like though, it has some faint peppery notes and is going to go well with the posh tonic I have in)

We had free samples of a number of different types of gin and gin cordials served with fevertree tonic pressed on us in the distillery shop to help us decide what we wanted to buy - if you're in the area (and not driving) then it is quite good to pop in and have a look, there is also a local cheesemaker that has a shop there and Mandira's Kitchen which serves Indian food (including a large range of veggie and vegan daal dishes) to eat there or to take away (fresh food to eat right away or frozen ready meals plus a large range of chutneys, sauces etc.)

There was an e-coli contamination of the tap water near where my parents live last week - so it's not even a foregone conclusion in the UK that it is safe. Largely we are fairly lucky though.
 
Very sadly, there are many people around who cannot get clean water.
Indeed, I sometimes remind myself that I effectively won the lottery by being born in the UK, compared to a less well off country. Obviously YMMV and the UK is far from perfect even on this measure as Epona notes … but still more fortunate than many others by accident of birth
 
Does anyone know if Desperados Beer is any good?

Like if someone you helped out is offering a couple of cases as thanks - or are they trying to get rid of the shit nobody would drink.

My real ale-loving boss is edging away from the offer but I’m wondering if we should take it to wind him-up!
 
One of the few lagers I don’t like, and actively avoid. I blame the tequila element for a bad hangover about 15 years ago
 
I probably ought to try to find some drinkable wine in Aldi.
Some of my "cellar" is probably best reserved for special occasions and I need to get used to younger, less refined wines ...
I'm getting through the good stuff at a rate of knots ...
