    Six months working in Guernsey led to this collection of lockdown supplies. Not much going on at the airport apart from the duty free shop.
    Please note the valley party postcards above. Even the coaster is one of those Charlton cup final ticket ones.

    We weren't going to drink again until Friday but we cooked three curries and Ms AA said they needed beers with them.  This is hers, Jagged Sky from Esher.  Yes, Esher.  Who knew you could get something good out of Esher?

    And the cause of the beer being broken out early.  From top and clockwise, paneer chilli fry, Sri Lankan pineapple curry, and potato panch phoron.

    I love paneer but no one else eats it in my house so only ever have it from the takeaway

    Phoron, not photon.  Damned auto-correct, I hate you!

    You got scammed - there's only 16 fl oz in that pint.

    Drink four of them and then try messaging everyone the beers name!

    Just rediscovered milky coffee, no that ain't a euphemism, it's milk in a saucepan (or microwaved if you got one) straigt into a mug with a a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee. Better than the Tasimo

    Three problems with this:

    1) hot milk is disgusting;

    2) so is instant coffee;

    3) more importantly, no alcohol!

    On their own maybe, but mix em together? Mind blown

    Can always wack a brandy in for good measure
  • It might only be lunchtime here, but it’s 5pm somewhere.  Conference calls are done for the day, so it’s time for a beer. Not a ferocious as last night, just 7.3%   

  • I do like a Trillium....thought I read that they'd closed down two of their sites @SomervilleAddick ?

    @AddicksAddict admirable use of the drinks cabinet, but if isolation lasts too long, is there potential for some Withnail and I style drinks?

    @SheffieldRed God, I hope not.

    They shut down their two tap rooms in Boston as all the bars had to close, and the tap room at the brewery is also closed. They are still brewing - all the breweries are deemed essential - and they all got kerbside pickup. You can order/pay online and just go grab your order. Trillium have also added home delivery although I think the minimum order is a case. 

    The brewery seems to be doing fine - delivery sales were shut off by 9:30 today as they’d reached their limit, and they have asked people to spread out their pickups as they were getting overwhelmed when they opened. 

    They are releasing new beers regularly, no slow down there 
  • Here’s this evening’s doorstep beer.. a 7.2% IPA from Turning Point Brewery... marks the end of the working day (in lieu of a commute) and was actually able to catch up with a couple of neighbours whilst sat out here enjoying it. Cheers

    On Guinness at the mo.  Wasn't planning to drink today, but keeping Mrs Stig company. She's upset at being put on furlough. I'd be dancing around the room if it was me, 80% pay for no work seems like a deal, but she's taken it really hard and feels rejected.

    Margarita - without the salt, seeing as I have high blood pressure.

    All round yours then, once the lockdown's over.

    @SomervilleAddick also on the darker beers, stouts interspersed with the odd grisette to refresh the pallet. Pick of the bunch (below) was from Spain

    @SheffieldRed. I’d never heard of that, so checked it out on Untappd  Get's a good score. Did the Jambo  promise more than it delivered? Typical Hearts.

    Garage are a good brewery @SomervilleAddick, whilst based in Catalonia they’re actually English the guys that run it. Jambo is a good beer, plenty of chocolate and raspberry but not a beer I enjoyed as much as say the Wilde Child.
