The alcoholic beverage thread...what are you supping right now?

It's a very decent imperial stout. Slightly dry but with rich coffee and chocolate notes. 11.5%. More a slow sipper than a chewer.

Silly alcohol for a beer or stout.
Anything over 6% is beyond my taste pallet. It just gets over powered by alcohol.
At which point I’d rather drink rum.

I had a choice of either Hobgoblin IPA or Staropramen lager. The Staropramen won out as it was the bigger bottle.

Hobgoblin tonight to counteract the effects of a day in the sun.

You're not having flashbacks to Special Brew and Tennant's Super are you?

There's some really good high strength beers around now where the alcohol adds to the flavour rather than just smashing you in the face.

Brewdog make three of my favourites at the moment -

Jackhammer 7.2%
Double Punk 8.2%
Mr President 9.2%

There are so many excellent small breweries now that it’s a constant pleasure trying beers that you might not have given a second thought to. Mrs Tenkaykev and I received a Beer “ advent calendar “ a case of 24x 330ml cans of assorted beers and shared one can each evening. We also use an App called “ Untappd “ to make a note of beers we have tried.
I’m currently back on the Stouts and Porters with “ Eight Grain Porter” from The Brew Shack in Sixpenny Handley being my current favourite.

I may go and have a couple of Master Brews in my local beer garden after my homemade pizza and the tourists are on their way home.

This evening I will be imbibing some chilled port.

If you visit Speicher Towers, and do not like your port served chilled, it does not take long to reach room temperature.

This is the kind of guff that would put me off a brewery! 100% of beer is 100% chemicals and hops are a preservative.

We wanted to avoid a particular ingredient, so looked for beers with a full list of ingredients, not just ones that say "contains". We had some delivered and liked it, didn't care about the marketing blurb.
