Time To Wind Down.

Just woke up. But this was my wind down last night

Mark, I wish I could enjoy beer, never had a taste for it, but Macallan 12,18 or any year for that matter is my drink of choice.

Rob,

LAPHROAIG ISLAY is far and away the finest Scotch Whisky I ever had.

Mark,

With all of the wonderful available English draft brew like Thigstons Old Pecular, why on earth are you drinking beer from a bottle?

I can't do the laphroaig, way to peaty and smoky for me I prefer the sweeter scotches, my brother likes the peaty scotches, lagavulan, I know I spelled it wrong, I bought him a bottle of Jura superstition, tastes like a oak flavored leather belt, he loves it

Joeydwachmaker,

The big thing in the USA at the moment is southern moonshine. It commands extremely high prices and tastes like lighter fluid. A huge order for Tim Smith Moonshine was placed by a European distributor. Once the customers tasted it they cancelled the order. I wonder if it would work in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean watch parts.

Only 5 choices in my local 7/11 if memory serves. Chang, Leo, Heineken, San Miguel Light and Singha.

Certainly no British gourmet beers to be had here in Thailand

Where are you staying, in the sticks? [emoji15]
By Privy Council's order, any 7-11 must also carry Cheers (try the new riceberry) Carlsberg, Bud, Asahi as a very minimum. I've also seen Lao which is pretty good. For more imports go to Big C. In a pinch I recommend Singha over Chang, much less hangover from it.

I mentioned 5 as far as I could remember - I don't have a forensic knowledge of every beer stocked. The point was that there is no English (or British for that matter) draft beers available in my local 7/11

I like Chang
I prefer the taste over singha.

From my non-British taste position, that's actually a plus

Lol. I do miss that beer in my OP. Sold in Morrisons. They have a nice selection.

I most likely won't be in England until September so it's Chang until then. I do miss my Kronenberg

I do enjoy the local Dark rum here - Sangsom. It's a bit paint-stripper-esque when neat but quite nice in coke.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll bring you a pack or two next time I hop there!

Great stuff guys.  Just been to my annual pilgrimage to our local CAMRA real ale beer-fest. You get a free pint glass so the cupboard is now getting near full (28 so far).   Link below gives list of all ales etc.  Never ever had a bad head the day after as no 'chemicals' in the real ale.  Now started doing some nice gins but not tempted to mix, hangover assured !!

Hello, just read the post from Canthus, I am also a CAMRA member and look forward to April when I think the next festival is in Newcastle. However, I only get a free half pint glass at the festival !!! This is patently unfair.
Cheers

It looks like single malt Scotch wins the day.

Nice Rob! We can't get that brand here in the US but my "daily driver" is a Macallan 12 and it work up from there. Also in the US there is a boom of "micro distilleries" that produce some very nice bourbons

Gave away my Laphroig when I gave up the demon alcohol. If I ever got my hands on an Alpinist, I would never, ever, let it go :-)

that gets my vote, I always buy single malts, enjoying distinct and widely vary tastes......but as my Grandmother was fond of saying "there's no such thing as a bad Scotch"

I don't need to unwind I'm retired. To relax I drink this stuff.
