fightoffyour Posted May 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2020 Note that these are different beers to yesterday’s photo except for Gelato Sour, the beer that just keeps on giving. Tea towels and kitchen the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2020 I've found this one hits the spot in flavour and strength and the extra US mililiters somehow feels important... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're both lucky to still be working and are saving a lot on other expenses and discretionary expenditures during this whole thing, so decided to treat ourselves on a Saturday night. Plus, judging from the number of bottles in his pictures, I doubt we've spent more than @fightoffyour! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Cabernet from Washington state. Solid red for under $20. I won the dice roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'm saving on other expenses too, I would indeed bankrupt myself soon enough if the drinking wasn't constrained to Fridays and Saturdays. Although if it wasn't, the liver might give up before my wallet does...

Mango/10 WB Yeah, I love that one, it's possibly my most-consumed beer these days (it helps that you can buy it in Sainsbury's of course). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really annoying thing is that my local Asda has stopped stocking the Wells banana bread beer . . . In place of the Eagle one in your post, which I don't like as much. I can't believe how far downhill that Asda beer selection has gone, and it kind of pisses me off. When I started getting into beers about four years ago, they had a much larger selection, over more shelves, but most of it has gone now in favour of multi-packs of Brewdog and large quantities of 'safe' choices like Abbot Ale and Hobgoblin. It's not that I mind any of those, but I don't need an entire rack of them; give me more variety. Pah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marstons must have done something to it as they purchased the Charles Wells brewery in Bedford in 2017 and rebranded it as Eagle Brewery. The redesign on the bottle looks like something a small child would do. Picked up a couple of ales this morning from Sainsburys but pretty much exhausted the supermarket choices now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had it on Friday for the first time. Will be picking up more. Not too overpowering with fruit. £1.50 at the moment as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I didn't know that. Must have changed the recipe a bit then, because as you say it tastes sweeter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
