Vortex Oof, can't cope with that German purity. I've been out with my best mate for the first time in 5 years. We drank lager, gin and bourbon, and annoyed some locals playing pool. I may regret this tomorrow for my daughter's birthday.

White Claw (hard seltzer) and cranberry juice
One of the good things I got from last relationship. The stuff is fucking rank on its own, but black cherry flavor with a good pour of cranberry juice is fantastic. Can't taste the alcohol, has no alcohol smell so makes floor a perfect driving drink and %5 ABV.

Dougs, sounds like a good night out. (last time i played pool, it was playing doubles against randoms in the pub because my wife was pissed- as was i tbh!)
Now on a Kurpfalzbrau Helles. It's good. Can't beat a decent German beer.
Picked up a German beer advent calendar in costco. Needless to say, i had no intention of waiting to use it as an advent thing.
Working through them until i hit the obligatory vile rauchbier that's lurking in there. I really don't know why they like those so much!

For all the amazing beers they have, they really like some foul shit. There's a licorice beer that's really popular, even as youngsters we couldn't force ourselves to drink it.

Speights ATM. Bank Holiday tomorrow so might stick a film on and have a couple more. You've truly embraced NZ! Pride of the south. Speights is all right. As are Tui and Steinlager. Don't mind a Double Brown or a Lion. Waikato Draught and Wild Buck are rank though.

Tonight, starting with an Erl Hell.
Nice frothy creamy head (matron!) and a pleasantly inoffensive lager lurking within.
Nice start to the evening whilst watching Cagliari v Atalanta.

Cuba libres, but made with proper rum not white rum.

A Brewdog 'Hazy Jane Guava'
It's a bit sweet/synthetic guava-y perhaps, but pretty decent.
Could go a negroni next tbh. Even though it's well past aperitivo o'clock

When I worked in a bar some woman asked for a Bacardi and coke, I said we’d run out of Bacardi but we’ve got Havana Club or several other rums, she scrunched her face up ina knot and said she won't drink rum, it’s disgusting

How is white rum not "proper"? It's had all the brown bits taken out. Imagine trying to sell white whisky.

Far too much, I think. A few nice IPAs, about eight different whiskies. Then I thought I should do something with the stuff we got for the trick or treaters that didn’t turn up, so ate about 40 very small Mars bars. I’ve felt better.

Holy shit my local Tesco Extra has some awesome beers at the moment.
The Brewdog Brewdog Roaster Coaster coffee stout (9%abv) is amazing, pretty much tastes like one of those iced coffee drinks you can get, but with a malty backbone.
But even better, the Northern Monk Death Star 2 is just a ridiculously drinkable Chocolate, Peanut and Caramel Imperial Stout (12%abv) is phenomenal. it sure as hell isn't a session drink, but I polished off a can and wished I had one more.
I find heavy stouts and porters are best followed with a spritely sour, and the Vault City sours seem to fit the bell very well.
edit- currently trying really hard to not crack open this Aerstone 10 yo Single Malt, it was pretty cheap but I think I'll keep it until my upcoming boardgame weekend

Having some time off the ale after I noticed a pronounced spike in my anxiety. Didn't help I was getting through a bottle of wine most nights, tbh.

Sounds good. I got a bottle of that Haig Club whiskey at the weekend. Tenner off a litre at Asda. Was pretty nice on the rocks, not sure what it's like mixed with something yet. Normally would have Jack/Jim on the rocks or mixed with cola. Or Jameson with lime and ginger ale.

I had a rainbow sherbet sour. It did taste of sherbet and was actually quite pleasant, rather than the foul abomination you would imagine.

Especially an espresso martini! 😀
Less flamboyantly, I'm on a Brewdog 'basic shake' milkshake ipa.
S'allright.
