What's in your glass?

Rum in a Jar thingy

Late Father’s Day pressie. Bought in the Lake District but made in Cornwall. Spiced.

I prefer rumy rum rather than spiced rum but this is pretty good. No discernible vanilla. Which is good. (See also modern stouts)

Aspalls - the best cider IMHO.

 

[MrCurry]

Gooseberry and elderflower sparkling wine. So moreish it’s dangerous, or it would be if it weren’t a mere 8.5% alc.

2018 Pauillac. I’m visiting a friend with a wine cellar (well, cupboard).

IT’S REAL!!

Was away in the Cotswolds last week and spotted some La Chouffe in a Tesco for £2 a bottle.
Thinking this may have been some weird anomaly, I was cock-a-hoop when I saw it in my local Tesco!

Mauritian Mojito.

A blood orange IPA from Aldi.

“Summer Wine” - a mix of early fruits that weren’t around in sufficient quantity for a single brew and the first finished wine of this year. This refreshing chilled glass of contentment is made from apple, blackberry and wild raspberry with the raspberry coming to the fore. Very pleased with it indeed

I have to ask - how much of it do you have left?

Of that particular batch - about 5 gallons

I'm away in Cornwall on holiday and picked up a few bottles of this in the local Co-op. Awesome stuff. They're missing a trick not putting it in small expensive cans, but I'll be buying some take home.



Was also rather pleased to find this in a Tesco not far away. Don't think I've had it since I was last in Belgium.

 

[MrCurry]

Orange gin & russian tonic.

 

[stethoscope]

This years Havana 7 year, the most complex yet I reckon, with almost whisky tones to it

Nice bottle of Gdańsk vodka there! I love a bit of Gold Wasser. An almost Christmassy flavour.

 

[stethoscope]

Gold Wasser is amazing stuff. My Polish grandfather (RIP) used to give me a cheeky shot when I was barely in my teens

Time for a special ale to kick off the festivities.

 

[gentlegreen]

The French wine situation is a bit pants in Aldi.
Last Xmas I regretted not making special trips to stock up, this year the best they have is screwtop Fitou..
Well at least it's cheapish...

Ended up with a stout in the pub, so thought I’d open this when I got home.

Brewed and bottled in 2015. It was gorgeous then but has developed nicely. Sadly my last bottle of this vintage

 

[friedaweed]

Luscious. That's all I can say.

That's good stuff. As is their sweet temptations. They also do some seriously strong stouts that are tasty.

Yup just started discovering all this new canned and bottled stout. The siren ones are lovely too.

 

[friedaweed]

This is lovely for £1.49 for 500ml. Very tasty and pleasantlysurprised. Good old Aldi.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

A rather nice coffee and biscotti stout from Bristol

I love Vocation's beers. In fact I'm drinking from a Vocation glass at the moment!

I'd never noticed them before. I don't normally by beer in the supermarkets but I grabbed a few on my birthday (NYD) because I fancied something stoutly. I tried the Brewdog layercake one as well which was okish but the Vocation and the Siren ones are just lush. Now I'm hooked.

Who makes that Brizzol one Quoggy?
