"it's the weekend, what's everyone drinking" thread? [i know one of the mods are going to reply with a fully active thread and i'll look like a spanner [i:21qownr6]again[/i:21qownr6], but what the hell]

Always a thread i liked to see, gave ideas for beers to sample

Was it this one[/url:3ogxas89]? Not been posted to for a while... <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I'll play BS.
Got a call from herself yesterday evening from the beer section of the local supervalu.
Loads of new beers in, so for this evening I've a fine choice lined up.
One of each from Dungarvan, a sierra Nevada pale ale and a torpedo then for good measure a Goose island ipa.
Now this being a brewday and there I was slaving away in the brewery* <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> I allready helped myself to a few from the cold room*
It could be a god night yet <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Had been thinkin I hadn't seen that thread in a while. Nice resurrection <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
Enjoyin a Lindemans Faro Lambic at the moment, got a Black Rock Stout to swiftly follow, after that who knows what will come out of the shed!

I don't like these threads because I can't get the interesting exotic beers any more. And that includes practically all of the Irish micro stuff too (Carlow being the exception)! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

So, tonight, it's some Dithmarscher Urtyp and Dunkel, pay some bills, then go dip in the cellar to find what imperial X,Y or Z I have stashed to relieve the pain <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

<edit>
Change of plan. On-line banking site is down for maintenance, so will skip that part and go straight to pre-pain relief <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Enjoying a bottle of Jackmans APA from Left Hand Brewing Company, it's very good, have another bottle of this to have and then I think I will move onto Doggie Style Pale Ale from Flying Dog (had a couple of bottles of it last night and it's great).

Barry, exoticness is all relative, some of the German beers you have I would love to try. The most exciting German beer I have in the beer fridge at the moment is a few bottles of Paulaner Oktoberfest <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
