The **Now Drinking** Thread

[LeeUK]

I love a good Weissbier, most brands are all good. *lickslips*

Drinking a Henry Westons Vintage.

Probably a bit early for a 8.2% cider, but ah well

 

[khemist]

On my usual Thatchers Katy, got twelve chilling in the fridge since i've no work for the next two weeks.

Salopian Automaton. Just what I wanted! Nice fresh live yeast malt followed by citrus hops but without too much of a lingering bitter finish. Must find more.

A nice 7% beer to get you going at 9am in the morning. I'm guessing it's a pick-me-up for helping you concentrate in work?

Godbless TOIL days in the week TOIL day is once every 3 weeks and it is craft beer box opening time every time!

I'm off to Bitter Virtue in Southampton on the 23rd/24th to pick up all the amazing beers I've heard of on facebook beer groups this year. £150 is coming with me! Brewdog born to die and some lambics and gauze as well as some amazing new canned beers will be mine. My shopping list is long!

My father brought this back from Norway today, I've read good things.

Stonking wine by all accounts Cleisthenes (not had the 2007 and the Paganelli's their top cuvée). I'd find a cellar to bung it in and forget about it for a decade.

 

[Cleisthenes]

I doubt my folks could hold off for that long! I'll certainly suggest it to them though

 

[taB]

It's tough sometimes . Here's a pro view to give you an idea:

"The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is a huge wine bursting with fruit. Powerful tannins provide the backdrop as the 2007 shows off its dazzling power and density. Rarely have sensuality and structure been so evident in a young Brunello. The 2007 is going to require considerable patience but it is a stunning wine. The long, explosive finish is utterly captivating. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2047." Antonio Galloni - April 2012.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Crikey, that's a long time to wait! I think the first chance they get it'll be cracked open. I'm not the greatest lover of powerful tannins, so perhaps my parents will be enjoying for the most part!

Thanks for the quote though, it's handy being able to ask others opinions about things that you know little about

 

[taB]

If they're gonna do that, open it at breakfast and drink it in the evening

Thanks for the advice, they have taken it on board!!

This seems topical, if a little heavy for a Summer Thursday...
