Title: What alcoholic beverages are you into at present
Post by: Curry addict bob on March 22, 2016, 07:08 PM: I have recently took to drinking real ale and I must say after mainly drinking lager
For many a year I've surprised myself by enjoying different types of real ale I've found that once you aquire the taste it's rather addictive LOL. Here is one such tipple I enjoy

Post by: haldi on March 22, 2016, 08:05 PM: after 10 years of stopping drinking, I've started again with Glenfiddich Whiskey
I just have a nightcap
I started out not liking it, that much
But within a week, it's become the highlight of the day
I stopped drinking, because I got really bad headaches, but this stuff has no side effects
Cheers!

If in an Indian, I prefer draught Kingfisher over Cobra - latter upsets my stomach.

Post by: Geezah on March 23, 2016, 09:35 PM: Jura isn't too expensive in the field of whiskey, and not a bad tipple.

I'm currently supping on one of my own 5.2% pale ale, influenced with Citra and Apollo hops and a slight biscuity flavour from some Munich malt.

Post by: JohnSmith4 on March 26, 2016, 09:08 PM: Real ales are great to drink, and they give you that warmth that lagers don't. Lately too I've been having a small brandy once or twice a week as a treat to myself. Tesco's do a good brandy pretty cheap, can't recall the brand at the moment, but I did some research before I bought, and it has good reviews.

I'm not a purist, so I take coke in my brandy (and scotch if I have one). Blasphemy I know, but I don't care.

Post by: meggeth on March 31, 2016, 05:03 PM: Love NZ Marlborough! Tesco finest version is very good.

Whiskys, love peaty ones, like this Ardbeg Uigeadail -

https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/ardbeg-uigeadail-whisky/

An explosion in your mouth, especially at 54% proof! :o

Also, just about my favourite, best all round whisky is Old Pulteney 21 year old, fantastic stuff -

https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/old-pulteney-21-year-old-whisky/?srh=1

Also partial to some good bourbons.

If you are after cheap whisky, gin, liquors have a look here (about 20-30% cheaper for very good gins, malt whiskys and bourbons).
