International beer day

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

What's everyone going to be supping then?

I have a couple of little bottles of Newky Brown just for the occasion
Cheers.

I'm off beer. Real ale seems to disagree with my digestive system in quite a violent manner (probably the live yeast) and I won't drink plastic beer, so I'm more of a wine guy at the moment.

Or cider. :lol: Some of the fruity Rekorderlig-type ciders are surprisingly tasty.

I know some monks that make a wine you must try fiendy ;D

I've recently developed a taste for cider myself, Mark. I can't say I know much of anything about it, though. I recently had a bottle of Crispin's Lansdowne, a cider with so-called "Irish stout yeasts" and molasses. Quite pleasant.

Yesterday, the missus and I headed up to the pub at 8:00 AM for breakfast and the Lithuania/USA basketball game. We had a few bottles of this:

Very fine, if you like American style imperial IPA's (high ABV, very aggressively hopped). Brewed in Idaho, where there is presumably naught else to do but brew excellent beer.

Today, we met friends for breakfast at a different pub. I drank Harpoon's Leviathan Imperial IPA, which I think is superior to Dogfish 90 (regarded as the king of American IPA's). Prudence then dictated that I move on to cider; both of these beers are between 9-10%.

Due to my limited finances I just made do with a few cans of Fosters. Still good though.
