It’s a shame that it sounds like the ship has sailed for me to get my 3rd home there! 30k people per day is crazy. When we were looking for a house last year people were bidding $200k over the asking price Lines down the street to get in to open houses - it was and still is absolutely nuts. People selling up in California and coming here with cash and just throwing it all at property. Oh and just to get it back OT, the beer is really great.

AlwaysAVFC Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just cracked open a Lagunitas IPA at half time. It was my gateway beer to US IPA's, but just doesn't cut it now. Not sure if its changed since being mass produced or just that beers have come a long way over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say £35-£40. Any recommendations appreciated. So I gave Mrs Sidcow a bit of a list from your suggestions, thank you very much VT. Ended up with the Laphroaig, but it turns out I was so late giving her my list that she'd already bought one anyway. Being half Welsh she'd found a Welsh Whisky Anyone ever tried this? I'm on the wine tonight so won't try it till the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penderyn is a very small village, we used to go there as kids to buy a flagon of cider from the Lamb I even had an Aunt and Uncle that lived there You'd think I knew all about it after all that, nah, never tried it, keep meaning to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I like Penderyn. Been a while since I had it though. From memory it's fairly smooth ( so not like Laphroaig ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisky has never my thing but decided to start giving it a go again. From working in pubs and bars i always liked the smell of the peaty whiskies. So thought i'd suggest it when asked what i wanted. Its going down very well, will have to start thinking about what to try next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I went to a whisky tasting last night and among other things tried the oak Penderyn. Not too shabby for the price! I find the madeira finish one a little one-dimensional - easy drinking, won't turn it down, but there are more interesting drinks for the same cost, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
