If by temperance, you mean 7.3% NEIPA, then yes.

A bourbon barrel aged imperial pale ale from Tempest. 10.5%. My expert prediction: asleep by half 8 ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Lil't, by Magic Rock. It's a pineapple and grapefruit gose. Quite nice.

One of the most under rated breweries in the country...

Say hello to Karl for us! Ask if he's tightened his cranks for this one...fatbikephil wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 9:46 pm A few pints of Monty's MPA (£3.30 a pint!) with Karl, Bob Karls mate and George, plus food and banter![]()
I've been on the coffee stouts... A Wiper & True Espresso Martini Shake, followed by a BBNo 10 / Mocha Porter.

It's ok. Lacks a little bitterness on the end for my taste.

I've moved on to Coalition, a hazy pale from Abbeydale. Claims to be a collaboration with the Hungry Bhudda, which is well worth a visit if you're ever in Sheffield city centre and fancy some Nepalese food for not too much money.

Hoping this provides some creative lubrication as I write some stuff for a well known MTB magazine...

A McDonald's vanilla milkshake, at Chester services, on the way for a much nicer drink in the Wynnstay Arms soon....

That's got me all nostalgic! I spent about 6 weeks fruit picking in Bundy in '94 when travelling in Oz. Can't say I even tried the rum , though, but I do think I should buy a bottle when I see it.Bundaberg root beer & rum.

TheBundaberg+ rum one takes some finding in the wild.
So in desperation I had to add it!

Re: What are you drinking now?
A can of Glowing Embers red IPA, which I'm drinking sat on a log with my fire in front of me and the hammock behind me in Mum's garden*
I like to try appropriately named beers when I'm here![Very Happy :grin:](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
* Mum's garden is an acre of woodland not a lawn, it would be weird to sit on the lawn drinking beer, plus there'd be no trees for hanging the hammock from![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: What are you drinking now?
Go on then....
A beer and a book, can't go wrong. Strangely the beer is a pale ale rather than a stout as you'd expect with those flavours.
The book is not Jules Verne's version but a scientific exploration of what's down there - as far as we can tell. Personally I favour the giant-intelligent-spiders version. Truth is stranger than fiction though, because, it sez 'ere, tiny bacteria-eating worms half a millimetre long have been found down a 3600m deep gold mine in South Africa.

Re: What are you drinking now?
Looks interesting Reg, I've been hoovering up a few science type books so will look out for that one.
Currently on a light ale to celebrate the end of another working week, prior to heading out on a bivvy ride. Spoiler - it will be dull for spectators but fab for me (all being well)

PS. I raise a glass to Phil's 24h trip - parky indeed. ("looking a bit parky" - upcoming bivvy in an area of land dedicated to recreation?)

Re: What are you drinking now?
Hmm. Not 100% convinced I'm afraid, so unfortunately I've had to chase it down with an ever-reliable Bear(Bones)Town 'Creme Bearlee'.
