Adnams is a local Suffolk brewery - you can get their beers in the major supermarkets locally, not sure how far they stock them, though? Been my favourite beer for about a year now. :cool:

I think I've seen Ghost Ship in the local Majestic Wines. Never tried it though..

Sounds good, mate. The beer, and the above. Like the idea of a summer house system... Is it listed somewhere on the forum? I think we're in the minority these days, who actually get on with our wives, enjoy their company and have a meaningful relationship;)

Yeah, the American and Oz Pale Ales were fab - will be ordering more!:cool:

Not using the same laptop, but still the same kit. The Aura and Kef's still gel together fantastically. :)

To be fair, it was probably only because I was on the Ghost Ship and she was on the Rose! :lol: Joking aside, it was lovely - kids were at Mother In Laws, we both finished work on time so had a lovely couple of hours in the sun chilling, listening to some summer tunes and chatting. What life's all about.

Then the kids came home, created merry hell, I had to take daughter to her piano lesson and now doing the BBQ in the twilight! Still living the dream, though! :D

Good stuff, mate. I'm sure it hits the spot:)

Ain't that the truth! Those are the memories you look back on with fondness in later years... So make plenty of them, and don't lose focus on what *really* matters... Gettin' all deep now;)

So, let me get this straight. You’ve accused us cocktail aficionados of being ‘poncy’, and then posted a picture of a bottle of rose?!!

Ha - remember I drink cocktails too, just not coffee-based ones! And rosé is perfect for drinking just now in this warm weather, especially with BBQs and salads, so na-na, na-na-na:ner::ner:

:D

Going round visiting a friends shortly, and I have a feeling that his wife, who would happily watch back to back episodes of 'Curse of Oak Island', will want to watch the Eurovision Thong Contest. Can you aficionados recommend a nice beer that is strong enough to make this tolerable?

Haven't posted here for a while, but here are some slurps that we have enjoyed recently:

2007 Château des Graves – Graves
https://media-verticommnetwork1.netd...49625-s318.png
Merlot and Merlot Blanc 12.5% ABV, c. £16 a bottle

2002 Château Malescasse – Haut Médoc
https://cdn1.wine-searcher.net/image...7/10595677.jpg
Merlot, Petit verdot, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc
13% ABV, c. £19 a bottle

2010 Château Péricou – Bordeaux
https://cdn.ct-static.com/labels/1545091.jpg
Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot
14.5% ABV
Very much enjoyed this. Good job I have a second bottle – in fact I’m tempted to buy a case. c. £14 a bottle

2010 Château Bonneau – Haut Médoc
https://cdn.ct-static.com/labels/872544.jpg
30% Cabernet sauvignon, 65% Merlot, 5% Petit verdot
13.5% ABV c. £14 a bottle

So not quite the Bordeaux ‘tart’ you would think me Marco. ;)

Yeah, but it's all French!:ner:

Anyway, I've just acquired a bottle of this. Wondering if it'll have a somewhat 'cheesy' finish....
