    Beer And Beer Drinking

    There is a point if I session too hard that I'm not at my best - not a good drunk at a certain point. I can ride the drinks and dinner wave just fine, but the sesh is dangerous.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    The Hungarians drink a lot of spritzers - I think they've long had a bad rep in Britain because yuppies/Delboy etc, but nah they're good. I'm increasingly of the opinion that the uncool drinks are mostly the best ones.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    It's a little dearer I guess because less alcohol, but Magic Rock Dark Arts (6%) is pretty money and I believe it's 4 for £6 at (presumably bigger) Tescos.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    Those days are over for a while tbh. But nonetheless sometimes you can't go back to certain things. I've spoilt moka pot coffee mud for my gf by serving up Aeropress in the morning - I buy the cheapest all Arabica beans I can get, but it's still a class above. My current favourite drink is...

    Brexit Day

    There is 'to and fro' on both sides, and you can tell that many in the EU are not terribly keen on enabling Boris. But basically the Torys have re-agitated the hardcore 'let's go WTO' Brexiteers again now, and created expectations - this doesn't feel like an expedient thing to do. Unless you're...

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    I suspect that's one of those things that if I tried it again now I wouldn't like it because I've had better better medicinal syrup now. Once you go Mikkeller Black, you don't go back.

    Brexit Day

    Brexit doesn't feel very done today. So much for the oven-ready deal eh?

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    In Manchester it was surprisingly difficult to actually buy a Manchester Tart in the City Centre. It was actually foodie culture that changed that. I mean this Street Food stuff.....a lot of it is shite but it's like anything else really innit? You still have a choice that's pretty much...

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    That's probably fair. That syndrome may affect places with lots of taps more than ones with just a few. In the latter you might get 'ok let's try the Porter then'. For whatever reason, I've never found myself in one of those 'porter doesn't sell' type places.

    Leo asked a specific question about what to get in Spoons tho.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    This is wild speculation, but if you're a bar you want people to take that 'third pint' and I'm guessing there's BI or whatever to suggest that this is less likely when someone consumes a dark beer.

    Brexit Day

    https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/steve-baker-resigns-as-european-research-group-chairman-1-6532047 Steve Baker's deleted a load of tweets (@DeletedbyMPs retains them) about Brexit being easy apparently.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    I don't take notes, but I'm not beyond 'tastings' on occasion. A la the Pepsi sip test, flight tasting favour sip beers over gulp beers - some beers need 4cl at least to really get to know them. But the thing is, tasting lots of different beers will actually get you drunk quicker. Re...

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    Yeah there are plenty of nice enough Spoons, I'm not one of these Remainers who boycotts them by any means. My Mother is upset they made the veggie burger vegan.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    I'm not an expert on Craft in Budapest, but I've had the odd one and my general feeling about Craft styles in Central Europe is they just don't quite rate and they're still a bit pricy. I know a place though. It turns out some decent enough stuff on rotation at a reasonable rate - a large...

    I'd have thought the same thing but the Reddit leaks may mean he keeps his head down for a bit.

    Tory bastards

    It is perhaps, however, worth pointing out that there was quite a lot of crazy hard right talk around limiting the franchise not long after Cameron was elected in 2010. Steve Hilton was also a known 'crazy ideas' guy. So this stuff isn't necessarily 100% new.

    tbf the terms are vague. But maybe it is time to send Cummings your cv?

    Tory bastards

    These terms are vague, but the right are organised in the sense that the 'culture war' has so polarised things that somebody like Sabisky can come along and large parts of the right who would otherwise be appalled by his views dismiss the story as 'an attempt by the left to score points'. I...
