It's nice!
Agreed - one of the best beers to be found in an average supermarket. Vocation 'Hop, Skip and Juice' and Northern Monk 'Faith' here. Both good and £1.50 a can for Tesco Clubcarders.
Faith in futures, is delicious.
If you like it a little more "rocket fuel-y" I'd suggest Abstract Lens and / or Buxton's King Slayer. Both are epic!

We have a dedicated beer shop in town selling a vast range of cans and bottles and refillable 'growler' bottles from tap. It means amazing, fresh beers from smaller brewers. It's not cheap though and has ruined my enjoyment of cheaper, mass produced beer. Like a top end hi-fi or bike - there's no going back to budget 🤪

These should go down well. Sorry, that was very tasteless wasn't it :oops: . Unlike the beer.

1079 project dry hopped pillsner from Aldi... £2.49 for 4 cans, yet it's a very pleasant tasty version of lager. Standard fridge stock in my house, just in case I fancy a beer and don't want something fancy/expensive/hipster!

Appropriately enough, Theakston's 'Velo'.

I might give that a whirl. I'm not a lager drinker by tradition... even as a fully paid-up #craftbeerwanker, I tried a few "craft" lagers from breweries I otherwise respect, and concluded that I just don't like lager, however artisan it is. But I bought a load of Aldi cans before Christmas, just to have something for guests who indifferent to craft beer (I realise this makes me sound like a terrible person... I'll happily share my collection of nice beer with people who will appreciate it, but watching someone wrinkle their nose at your £6 a can DDH IPA because you didn't have any Stella in gets painful) and there were some cans of Helles lager branded, I thinmk, the Hop Foundry. A couple languished in the garage til I felt bad even foisting them off on people I like, so rather than waste them I drank one, and to my surprise, quite enjoyed it. No idea what it is about that. Looked for it recently, but like many of Aldi's lines, it seems to have gone with the wind.

Import opportunity for someone perhaps. Personally, I just think they're taking the p1ss.

I've always suspected that's where lager came from.....

Does anyone have any genius ideas for taking wine bikepacking? Apart from the probably obvious of taking some that is in one of those bag things?
I have a nice bottle, corked too :roll: , that I'm hoping to share with a friend sometime...
Decant into a clean canteen?? Seems wrong somehow...
Just take it as it is and embrace the fact that it is going to be heavy, bulky, and essentially unnecessary??

Presumably the main point is it's an occasion. So yep I'm afraid you've got to take the actual bottle, corkscrew, crystal wine glasses, the whole shebang. Gotta be done proper or not at all :smile: . Reckon you already knew that was the answer :smile: . Sunny grassy bank somewhere, sunhat on... etc etc....

This is fine.
Added bonus, if the entire contents of the original bottle don't quite fit into the new receptacle, you get to adopt a "waste not want not" approach.
