Baitrunner Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I saw a T shirt this morning that would be very apt for Stuart at the moment - " I sometimes drink water, just to shock my liver!" I, in no way condone such practices of drinking to excess and not keeping properly hydrated with water - Ha, ha fooled you 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Still trying to keep up with Mr Nog, but doing my best. First day we cracked open a few of these. It was hot so we needed quite a few! in the evening I got tempted with a little local cocktail. Local spirit, strawberry and chilli! I think they overdid the chilli and won't be going back for another!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Glad you are enjoying it Mark. I can't drink more than 2 bintangs, or they do my head in. I stick to the european beers and I'm OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks Eric. Internet is a challenge in current hotel. More beers to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Moved onto a new hotel. They have different beer!! so a light wheat beer to start and Mrs Runner had a local cider. Then I tried the dark wheat beer. Very caramel like. Oh and Eric. The beer is a lot cheaper than the wine. The hotel bill gave me a headache!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I took a liking to wheat beers in Belgium. Some though do have a kick like a mule !Good to see you are putting your liver through all the tests, Mark ! Iain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 The things we do for the good of the forum Iain!! they aren't too strong, but are very similar to the Belgian wheat beers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Eric, are they the large bottles though or the small ones? heeding your warning we tried a couple of these today. Got caught out in a thunderstorm for an hour up in the mountains and got absolutely soaked despite an umbrella each. So retreated to a bar to dry out!! No idea who the guy is in the background! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 That's a proper sized bottle Mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Onto another country and found what is supposed to be a micro brewery. Heres the menu i had the summer ale and the wife had the lime wheat beer. Both quite nice and light. went to another bar and had a good old favourite. The Tiger beer!! And if you think it's deer in Blighty, these were about £7 a pint!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 That's why we only had one each and I couldn't afford a full pint for my good lady!! young grace would have a heart attack at the prce if wine out here. God knows how much shoes cost (I have avoided the shopping malls so far). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Was drinking Elland Brewery's SPA in Wetherspoon's in Brighouse t'other day. Absolutely excellent draught pale ale at a very reasonable price. Made me wish I lived "up north" again. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Had a bottle of Humpty Dumpty Little Sharpie earlier, brought back home at the weekend...... Made me wish I was still there ah well it'll soon be April ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamElla Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Am I getting addicted? I now find that I have to take supplies home to tide me over until I can get back to Norfolk. Sharpie doesn't keep well (for any length of time) Revenge does (and it's my favourite anyway) New discovery (for me at least) this week though:- A beer to my taste brewed down South in Lewes, where they use local spring water drawn up from an artesian well beneath the brewery. HARVEY'S SUSSEX BEST 4% when found on draught 3.6% in bottles from the brewery shop (renamed as "Blue Label) 3.6% in cans from the brewery shop (labelled as Sussex Best) - I never thought that I would enjoy real ale from a can!

Gracie Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Can't think what you mean, Dave, once the tops are off the bottles in my house they never go back on again, never heard of such a thing Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Beer bottle tops don't go back on if you wanted them to Grace, much like wine bottle corks. what's the point of those screw top wine bottles anyway ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
