Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 True, since I paid $8.99 for a 4-pack of Victory DirtWolf without hesitation They're up there with them, and better in some cases.

Obitim Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I love the American/Canadian craft ale scene, would happily pay for decent ales! My favourite at the moment is Granville Island - I bought a few cans back from Toronto and I'm saving my last one for my weddign this year! Link to comment
Guzzi Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Woah, this has got waaaay off topic. But I'm chiming in anyways... I think my love of the amber nectar has you all beat hands down. A couple of years back I bout my husband a keg of (my favourite) beer for Christmas. That's right, 72 pints of the stuff! And you only have 10 days to drink it too.... We worked out a fair split. As long as he drank 4 pints and I drank 3, every day for 10 days we were sorted. Can I just say...BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER. :D 3 Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Timmy M Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 since getting involved with the medieval fighting 'scene' i've had a right hankering for mead (always fancied a bash at it but now it's a necessity) i've tried 'Waggledance' which is ale with some honey in it and liked that so i'm really looking forward to the 'real' stuff 2 Link to comment
Guzzi Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Mead can be hit or miss. First time I tried it I didn't like it at all, then tried a different one and loved it!

Zorch Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I guess I'm kind of a beer snob; I see nothing wrong with this.Agreed. To me, most cheap beer isn't even worth drinking. Granted, there is bad expensive beer too, but overall I'm more of a quality over quantity guy when it comes to alcoholic beverages. One or two really good quality drinks beat a six-pack of generic mass-market lager any day. 1 "Restlessness is discontent - and discontent is the first necessity of progress.

It also kind of satisfies my viking desires or like... mother of dragons or something. Whatever that urge is to wear random rags as dresses and eat meat from a spit and drink mead out of a horn.

Guzzi Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yay!!!! It's back, lol My husband and I had pitch-lined leather tankards for drinking beer. Very cool! We would actually take them to bike rallies with us, you should see the jealousy when everyone else is trying to drink out of those god awful flimsy plastic pint glasses and you rock up to the bar with your leather tankards. I bought him a drinking horn (actual horn) once, but you really to get them lined or else all your beer tastes vaguely "meaty". Never quite got around to that... 2 Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Obitim Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 A Battle log to keep track of your beer? How about downloading the Untappd app? I tend to use it to keep track of what I'm drinking and it's got a cracking database of ales, ciders and beers! If you do want to download it then you can add me as Obitim! In other news, I was particularly gutted yesterday when I was in the gym early (630 and there is no one else in the weights room, it's great!) and doing my weight lifting circuit when, horror of horrors, someone else came in and, out of all the benches in the gym, used the one I was doing bench press on, that I'd set up, for my final set for the day. I was gutted! So I just manned up and did my final bench press in the power rack instead... Link to comment
