The Finest Ale

Think a 330ml is a perfect can for a train ride, or at a festival. Should manage to drink it all before your hand holding the can warms the temperature too much. Then once finished you just get the next can out of your bag.

Some interesting purchase from Morrisons today

This is actually softer than expected - a genuinely nice light hoppy beer

I am not convinced, a pint can is the perfect size for me, for the reasons you mentioned. Maybe I have a higher flowrate of alcohol intake I don't know. Once I warm up though, the alcohol does start pouring with some ferocity.

Something about a beer in a traditional tankard for me. Certainly keeps the beer cooler for longer.

Not sure what it is about beer. One is never enough and I never feel I’m truly enjoying the beer until I am three deep.
 
Put in an order for Perfect Draft kegs today. First time I've had the spare funds in ages. (2x Hawkstone, 1x Goose Island IPA). As much as I like pilsner, I do wish they had some proper real ales.
I very nearly ordered a keg of "Stay Puft". Then I saw it was a marshmallow porter. Ew. Enough with these sickly sweet porters! Who's drinking them?

Hawkstone is actually a really good beer! Enjoy

Finding Wilderness beer from the middle of nowhere in Wales turn up in the south of England is a first for me, and a real treat. One of my favourite breweries.

This is Brand New Day, a wine barrel aged wild ale, and its stunning. Raspberry is light, some barrel funk gives the overall flavour a vinous depth, spritzy dry finish. Champagne of beer.
 
The birthday booze order has gone in. Nothing too fancy. 5 bottles of Jupiler and some veltins. Only trying veltins because it's plastered all round the winter sports arenas.

@DiogoJ42 is correct. The stay puft ale can be placed into the containment unit of pointless ales and hope dickless doesn't come and switch it off.

A vigo Carpathian ale. That would be interesting.

Had this tonight, bought from the Tesco express ™ you know what. It's not bad. Nice and light, change from normal moretti. Has a slight salty taste.

Good little tipple for watching match in.

Is it a step up from Moretti? I find the normal one and Peroni to be awful, headache inducing ****. Just do not like them but willing to give this a go if it’s less harsh.
