Off to the Tewkesbury Winter Ale Festival.
Used to go annually but haven't been for the last few years. Don't think it even ran. No idea why. At all.
Anyway, should be some good beers. Hoping to try Hunters Brewery "Adios Mother Funker", it's an 11%er described as "An amber coloured strong ale with the aroma of roasted malt, we have infused the original recipe of Full Bore with whisky to get a warm full taste of whisky and caramel with a smooth bitter sweet finish."
It's a one off though, so there's a decent chance the CAMRA lot will have polished it off yesterday.
Might get a 3rd of that first to set me up for the day.

Used to enjoy the Glasgow CAMRA Winter Beer Festival, back in the day. Looking back, 3rds would have been more sensible than halves or pints.
I remember waking up at our table to see it on fire at the last one. For some reason there were candles, and a newspaper had fallen on it. That's one way to get an instant kicking out.

After 4 whole days (yes, count them), starting with a couple of Menabrea. Will probably have a gin before moving on to a nice malbec to accompany dinner. Wife is out so looking forward to a nice evening watching a film with the kids before firing up the PS to shoot zombies.

I'm doing a dry February, having been a late start in January. I'm thrawn, so going to stick it out through feb and maybe march (we'll see!)
Hence, whatever will be drunk tonight, it will not be as nice as it should be!

Yeah, since I started the no midweek booze I have a bittersweet first drink where I feel like I’m undoing recent efforts.
Then the booze kicks in and nae mair fucks are to be given

I've been drinking a lot less and it's amazing how quickly you lose your tolerance for it.

Whisky.
So far I've mixed it up between 15 year old Singleton, a 14 year old Clynelish and a 10 year old single cask Caol Ila. The victory whisky.

No English people in my flat sadly. I suppose the cat's English, well London... not sure she's a rugby supporter though.

So I've rediscovered the joy of Lemoncello.
This evening has had me make a whiskey sour with Pallini Limoncello and Bulleit bourbon. Holy shit, that is great.
And then a martini or two with the afore mentioned Pallini lemony plonk, a splash of lemon juice to tarten it up in place of an olive and Nolets Silver gin.
I'm no longer sober, but it's all just so delicious. Go on, give it a go!

It’s margarita time here on the west coast, hopefully not as many as last night in Dallas. I woke up with one of those hangovers where you’re convinced you’re about to have an aneurysm

Tbh the biggest difference is the new landlords. They are now actually welcoming of people who want to pop in for a pint. Last lot only wanted diners for their over-priced, average food.
