The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?

[Bibio]

Isle of Mull, Galleon Gold blond ale. i must say its rather nice, sweet with a slight maltyness and no bad bittering after taste due to over hopping. a bit too sweet TBH. very very easy to drink.

[Wideboy]

Just pored myself a pint local of scumpy. nnniiicceeee.

[andrewsmith]

Not so flash.

Had the wine (white riocca, not had that before, very tasty), now on to the Fosters. Might have a wee dram later

[Bibio]

River Leven, Blonde... ermm tastes exactly the same as the other one i had earlier but a bit more bittering hops so leaves a slight bitter on the throat. still very nice.

yes i was in ALDI's today :-)

[DJFridge]

Mmmmmm, Mannochmore. Yum

[Bibio]

Shetland Ale.. no.. just no

[DJFridge]

Even worse than factory produced "Australian" lager? That must be bad!

[Sir Trev]

I'm rather partial to the Superstition one of those. Not much of a Scotch fan but a bottle of that I was given went down very nicely.

Sangria :)

[SV_archie99]

Magners over ice after 5 solid hours mixing concrete for a new shed base.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Very large glass of wine after spending all day at horse show, worth it, the boy had a lovely time and even got to finish the day with gymkhana races, great to see him and his pony playing together.

[DJFridge]

+1 on the cider. Bulmers, can't be bothered with the ice though

[Matt-EUC]

Cider and black. Cause I can.

Sangria

[Berlin]

Tonight, we are having Caesars (http://www.cookincanuck.com/2012/01/the-caesar-cocktail-aka-the-canadian-bloody-mary-recipe/) (again) because they are the finest drink on the planet! And the best kind of drunk its possible to be :-)

[Geodude]

Sangria
Lucky mofo ;)


Clamato juice :shock:

[TamSV]

Cocktails!

[TamSV]

Lol

[kaivalagi]

haha, I need to have a drink now...mixing it up nicely I see :)

[andrewsmith]

they not run out yet?

[Fruity-ya-ya]

So you're drinking blackcurrant from the Tommee Tippee 'Active Sipper' cup so who's doing the hard drinking?

[Bibio]

wrong thread...

[Brettus]

Awh man, I could just go for a nice mojito now after seeing that Tam.
On Diet coke with Cherry, not nearly as nice as pepsi max cherry but it was all I had left.

Jura tasters were nice the other night, liked the superstition but think my favourite was Diurach's Own.

[DarrenSV650S]

Kopps strawberry and lime :smt110

Sarah thinks it's like eating spearmint from the garden.

I think it's quite nice although it's no mojito.

[DJFridge]

Just had a couple of pints of Amstel at the local. Yummy

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Two large and one small glass of wine out at pub celebrating DJ's birthday feeling quite merry now

[TamSV]

Cuba Libre

[Brettus]

Trying a new rum, Mount Gay (stop sniggering you churlish lot)

Reusable ice cubes (I know that decreases my heathen rating a little but I hate unintentionally diluted drinks)

Will try and taste some of the ones recommended in this thread sometime soon.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Mount Gay, isn't that from somewhere in the Caribbean?

[CharleyFarley]

😳 Reminds me of a certain holiday: 3 weeks 'over landing' in South Africa.....picked up at airport by a 6X6 truck/bus plastered in 'Gaylads Travel'.......... 😳


"Gas it w###a".........

[Bibio]

Reusable ice cubes (I know that decreases my heathen rating a little but I hate unintentionally diluted drinks)


i gotta get me some of those :drink:

[kaivalagi]

Mount Gay, isn't that from somewhere in the Caribbean?

Yeah, Barbados...

I tried the cheaper end of the range and wasn't impressed, no doubt it's nicer the more money you spend...the best cheap rum for me by a long way is Havana Club 7...and if mixing with Coke it's Brugal Anejo Rum (Dominican Republic)...but we all have different tastes

Those fake ice cubes sound like a great idea!

I sometimes get bought a bottle of that over from the Caribbean by a West Indian photographer friend. I don't normally drink spirits but this stuff is delicious with some ginger beer and a squeeze of lime.

Tesco's sells it if you want more...linky (http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=255947376)

[Littlepeahead]

I know, but before they used to this chap bought me some as a gift and now it's become a bit of a tradition that he brings me a bottle every couple of years. Honestly it takes me that long to drink it unless I get together with Electro.

[kaivalagi]

lol, you should use it in your cakes ;)

[Littlepeahead]

Now there's an idea! I don't normally make fruit cake but if I soaked the fruit...

[kaivalagi]

When I was in Fiji we used to soak fruit in the overproofed rum made there, from new year to the following Christmas, to make some very potent pud! I stopped drinking that stuff after loosing too many brain cells and not remembering what I did the night before...evil stuff: http://www.rumgallery.com/bounty-fiji.html

[maviczap]

Lidl Bitter, not too strong, but tastes nice, just the job

Home brew Belgian beer

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy91/kaivalagi/DSC_0165_zpsciwnjfy8.jpg
This one's called Brewferm Grand Cru...8%+ goodness and the third beer of the day now...probably the last :)

[maviczap]

Just be careful, you'll be on a park bench if you keep suppin them & that Fiji hooch :D:smt030:smt030

[kaivalagi]

hahaha, quite possibly...these beers are quite addictive...it's nice making your own and savoring it....just wish I made more in each batch :)

[Matt-EUC]

Make it in a bath.

Did you know they make wine in Moldova? Neither did I. Quite a nice chardonnay in the end. On to the Bulmers now

[Bluepete]

Pink wine. Doesn't matter what it is, after today at work, I'd drink meths'n'milk!

Pete ;)

[TamSV]

Estrella and Konig Pilsner so far today :)

[jambo]

I have been visited by some lovely Belgians, and now have a selection of Belgian beers to try.


Yummy.

think i might dig my brewing kit out. might be a bit of effort filling 300+ bottles though.

[littleoldman2]

Get some kegs then:D.

You lucky chap, take your time and enjoy! You got any Rochfort chocolate or Triple Carmelite? They're my favourites

Do it!

lol, I am tempted to get a nice aluminium barrel from somewhere and start using a little CO2 :) But before I do I need to learn to make Belgian style beer from raw ingredients....not something I've found out about as yet...it's not all that easy to get right from what little I've heard and why the kits are expensive in comparison to normal ale kits I think

Standard ales are alright but I've been spoilt with the Belgian beer kits, they are superb IMHO! The hardest thing is leaving the bottles alone long enough for the beer to get to it's best...

[Littlepeahead]

I helped at an event sponsored by Tiptree preserves and as a thank you they gave me a hamper which included borage honey. I don't really eat honey though I cook with it so next time Stu did a home brew we replaced the sugar drops in about a third of the bottles with a teaspoon of this honey. It made for a pleasantly tasting beer. The honey flavour was subtle but definitely there.

[kaivalagi]

Oooo, on my list of things to try now, thanks!

[Bluepete]

Tonight is a decent bottle of Champagne.

It's our 19th wedding anniversary and I couldn't be happier!

Pete ;)

[TamSV]

Congrats Pete. A happy marriage is something to celebrate.

And tonight I'm on....sangria :)

[TamSV]

A small G&T to get the ball rolling tonight.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/ery4esy9.jpg

[maviczap]

Think I'll pour one of those for myself in a little while

[Brettus]

Dr Pepper Cherry tonight. Full sugar treat. Got a case after it was on sale at americansoda.co.uk

[kaivalagi]

What's that stuff like? Sounds like a nice combination....even better with some Almond liqueur I bet...

[Brettus]

it's like an even better version of cherry coke. I've taken to drinking Dr Pepper since trying the cherry one but the cherry is still best.

Worth a try if you can find it (assuming you like cherry coke and such)

[maviczap]

Love Cherry Coke and Dr Pepper, so I know I'd like this. I can't remember if I've had this beforeo_O

As Kai says it'd be nice with Amareto

[Brettus]

I thought it was you mentioning it earlier in the thread that made me think about it again, then I got an email on the offer and couldn't resist :)

[Matt-EUC]

Mmmm... Koppaberg strawberry and lime.

[Astrin]

Small glass: shot of reposado tequila, splash of triple sec, agave nectar, lime squirts. Stir to mix well, fill with ice cubes, wait a while. Makes a nice low glycemic index margarita. Salt on the rim optional of course - use agave nectar to make it stick.

[kaivalagi]

The weekend is here! Gonna start on the rum and coke whilst waiting for the Chinese takeaway to be delivered :)

http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy91/kaivalagi/DSC_0169_zps68h5gga8.jpg

Should get me started in the right direction....

[Brettus]

Rum and Pepsi max for me too. Had a nice meal in the garden, some home made Rosemary ciabatta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (really got a taste for this recently) went down nicely in the sunshine.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Lovely glass of rose wine.

[DarrenSV650S]

Blackcurrant juice. I'm at my parents

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Oh sweet Darren, do Mummy and Daddy not let you have a drink yet? My Dad always gets in vodka for me!

[Nobbylad]

Recently tried to get the 1987 limited edition, but sadly, none left :(

http://www.muirheads-whisky.com/en/silver-seal-limited-editions.html

[DarrenSV650S]

They do usually get me some cider but I don't enjoy getting drunk around my parents

[littleoldman2]

Just been given a glass of "Scotsmac" it's a mixture of cheap whisky and cheap wine. I don't think I've tasted any drink this bad.

[DarrenSV650S]

Morgans and diet pepsi :smt033

[dizzyblonde]

Retsina
:cheers:



Well worth popping to Lidl and getting it while you can this week. Not cheap, but then you don't need much to get tipsy!
:drink:

[DarrenSV650S]

How dizzy has it made you?

[TamSV]

Last mojito of my holidays :(

[dizzyblonde]

How dizzy has it made you?
I'll tell you tomorrow ;)

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

I have to agree with that, I will never have more than one with my parents, apart from once a year we go to a mad Christmas party where my dad gets drunk and I will have a few once he is too drunk to notice.
