#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,445 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 A Dutch beer! Very nice.When I was in Boston last year I was surprised that Dutch and Belgian beers were on nearly every menu I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well Belgian beers are the best.I remember one time though I was looking at the beer menu in a TGIF and they had Blue Moon listed under the Imports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,256 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I had a can of Strongbow cider with my tea and fancied a nightcap, so decided on a couple of measures of Glenlivet scotch whisky.

Sweeping Strings 2,642 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Last night, some McGrath's (locally-made ale), some Samuel Adams Boston Lager (although with its reddish-brown colour and ale-like flavour, have never understood how it's a 'lager' exactly) and some Heverlee. Tonight, some San Miguel and Cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were so many people queuing for the Eurostar and so many police everywhere I thought war must have broken out without me knowing. Have you ever tried the champagne bar there? I certainly haven't.Ha, actually I was at the champagne bar or rather on the promenade deck thing leading out from it. Occasionally the departing Eurostar trains made it interesting sound wise. It wasn't too bad but you kind of get forgetten out there and easily could walk off without paying. There's some kind of intercom button but we daren't try it in case no one came. Indeed, as we headed up to the bar to pay no one paid much attention but we asked to pay. Only a tenner as both of us hadn't enough for more.Yes, earlier I came up from the Tube and saw people herded up some other way and thought I'd emerged into a terrorist attack or something. From where we were we watched the queue. Poor swines. Trains delayed up to four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Various disgusting protein shakes. You can make it work. My post-work out shake is: 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened), 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries, 2 graham cracker sheets, 1.5 scoop of vanilla ice cream whey protein. Now drop and give me 20. The problem is the shake isn't flavoured. It's whey protein, but tastes like Satan's spunk or something. It's a cheaper supplementary shake I have throughout my day that I get from the local health food shop, so I don't go through my pre and post-workout shake (Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard) too quickly. I honestly wouldn't know what to have with it. It would have to be something strong. For now I just neck it back and think of England, then spoon some low-fat peanut butter to kill the aftertaste.

Not that big into stouts, but I recall having an oatmeal stout that was quite good. Not sure who made it. Whatever you do, do not drink Southern Tier's Creme Brule stout.

Glóin the Dark 1,334 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Whatever you do, do not drink Southern Tier's Creme Brule stout. Quite repugnant. Too late! I didn't find it repugnant, though I prefer their Mokah from the same series. A 660ml bottle was way too much in both cases. Think I still have a bottle of Choklat lying somewhere in the shed. How about this....anyone? Tasty! I had a bottle of this about five years ago, and don't remember it all that well. In another coincidence, I noticed that the shop where I buy most of my beer has got it back in stock recently, so I should be giving it another go soon. ...stout at breakfast, lol. And the one we were talking about is over 8% alcohol so, yeah, probably not the wisest way to start a typical day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,468 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 8% in a lager? That would taste like tramp juice. The homeless sort. As teenagers my mates and I would 'preload' with 9% Kestrel Super Strength lager, because it was cheap and effective. And fucking vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
