A bottle of Old Peculiar, which will come as no surprise to any that remember me! That's the last Peculiar in the cupboard, so if I have another it will have to be Broadside.
Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........
A large does of indigestion mixture I've got terrible heartburn & indigestion Had far too much Ale last night until around Two this morning. The sort of long night you enjoy at the time but regret the next day only to say I wont do that again. Only to go and do the same next week. No sympathy from the wife though she says I should know better at my age than being out drinking till gone two in the morning.
Don't You just hate Pubs that say
( We don't stock any Real Ales as theres Just no call for it.)
Bottle of Hooky Double Stout, 3 for fiver in Waitrose the other week. Got a meeting with Wokingham BC tomorrow about the imminent closure of The Maiden Over so just the one this evening, despite my urge to go over to the Nags and help them finish off the Mallinsons Calypso
As is often the case, if I'm cooking, I'm drinking. Monday night is traditionally chilli night in the a&h household. Aiding its preparation is a bottle of Fullers Wild River, a real fave at the moment.

Chilli night here too! Not traditional Monday, just tonight. And I have a bottle of Wild River on the rack, along with a few Thornbridge Kipling.
But what I'm drinking right now is NO alcohol! Certain ABs 'til Friday, it's very very difficult.
