What's your favorite Beer?

[Seul]

Beautiful stuff, folk…

There's a rather severe heat wave taking place at the moment in Belgium... It's 4am and 29C°/ 84F in my flat as of right now with this probably being the lowest temp til Friday... Match this with a particular nasty bout of alcoholism due to my dad having died one year ago and well... tl;dr: ain't posting, been drinking.

Much love. Stay safe. Look after one another.

(Don't y'all worry btw… I'll see you on the plus side in a week or so... Just allow me some days to cry into my god damn drink...  )

Sorry about your loss @Seul. Sometimes a good cry and a good binge are what works.
And this heatwave will let up in a week I heard.

It was a bit of 5 am wine-influenced sentimentality… Although I will welcome next fall even more heartily than I usually do...

That being said, I need a cold god-dang beer  (And thank y'all.)

Hope you had a good cold one. Odd pairing tonight. One of my favorite stouts with my favorite cheap beer.

In the same glass @Sage954 ?

In other news, I've had a self imposed week off the beer to help ease myself back into 6am starts and working life, after seven weeks of holiday. Went to the monopoly today and dropped about $100 so I'm looking forward to Friday evening

Any new stouts in that batch? Don’t seem to recall you drinking many porters.

[neph93]

There are a few stouts actually…. and it will be cool and rainy this weekend. I’ll post what I drink I promise.

[Sage954]

@neph. Not the same glass. I tend to sip my BA Stouts slowly and see how they evolve as temps rise. The Pabst fills in the gaps.

I like your style. I can’t remember what it was called but a mixed pint of Guiness and lager was a thing when I was 18 years old.

Black and Tan?

[neph93]

@Giles:

Black and Tan?

That’s the one! Christ, the crap we used to drink… snakebite, black and tan, shandies, there was a mix called a «pint of golden» too which may have been mild and lager together?

Lemonade top - Vomit….

Lemonade top - Vomit….

Oh Lord, that…

And Black Velvet too, which was guiness and cider where I lived but had other things in it other places.

Not everything was better before.

[Giles]

Half and Half.  In the Midlands that was half a pint of Mild (probably M&B) and half a pint of bitter (probably Ansells)…..

[neph93]

Yes indeed. We had that too in the North West. Meaningless really, just a bland pint og brown-ness.

This has had me reminiscing about a night out in Birmingham when I was 18. I drank lots of Black Velvet at Edwards (seedy goth club by the Bullring), and ended up with my arse hanging out of a hedge row in Bourneville. Nasty.

Coke and pils here… Grew up with the stuff... It's not that bad: the coke keeps you hydrated and the bit of caffeine keeps you awake...

Of course: I wouldn't touch that stuff anymore 

My aunt, who lived in London in the seventies, still talks of the beer with lemonade concoction... I remember a friend drinking it as well, btw...

Aaaaah sweet memories...
