    Actually its only 20 beers - I was obviously crying so much at opening the box to find European lagers that I couldn't count them properly. Basically I have 5 each (actually - it's only 4 each now!) of Lindeboom Pilsener (Holland), Warsteiner (Germany), Krusovice (Czech Rep) and Furstenberg (Germany) to get through. Best I get on with the rest of them.

    After the slight disapointment with the Bath Ales Golden Hare i took Conrads advice and tried a darker one , Barnstormer , much better , a proper full bodied beer .
    Also got round to trying the Salopian Entire Butt Porter the Mrs got me at new year , very nice well balanced and just right for these cold nights , also at 95p a bottle (500ml) at Tesco great value

    SOD the beer .... no nothing to do with a New Years resolution but I found a new beer for me called SOD from Banks & Taylor. An excellent porter/stout style 5% beer and very drinkable. Found in a JDW in the City and most definitely my Beer of the Week.

    Barnstormer, now there's a thought! If I head into the attic, I reckon I might have a botlle or two..........

    Nope, no Barnstormer, but a couple of Dark Island. Cheers, lads and lasses, and goodnight.....

    Definitely a chance, but I am kind of wondering if there is a better way to do it? I am wondering if we had 2 rolling sticky threads, so for today you would see "beer of the week ending 10/1/10" & "beer of the week ending 17/1/10" with an archive forum for each of the previous threads.

    Reasons for this,

    • we could then actually have a note of all the beers of a given week in the head of the thread
    • shorter threads are easy to cope with than long threads?


    Let me know what you think and if you have any advances on the idea, definitely think this should be a part of our forum though (so something should be stickied).

    Edit: May as well sticky this one for now anyway, so have done.

    I was sort of thinking that a sub-topic or a separate topic might work better to split some of the themes up. Just my first impressions as a, ahem, Spritzer Swallower, but I'll give it a bit more thought once I am a bit more soberererer.

    If you are suggesting that any thread on this forum may stay on topic, good luck with that
