Cold cans of Old Speckled Hen for me this weather.

This is a nice cider 6.9% proof,

Just got a 375mm six pack for $20.00 Oz dollars. About 10quid. Six cans of mercury are about my limit. Reminds me of the old Carlsberg special brew many years ago in Bristol.

I’ve developed a taste for gin and tonic in recent months. And at the pub I like a few pints of Amstel.

I didn't know this was a thing until my Sister in Law got me some.

I started drinking IPA after being given some Neck Oil at a BBQ. Really enjoy it now, Gamma Ray was sold locally, and recently found Brixton Brewery. There are a few of theirs available locally and I've liked them all. 

One I tried for a laugh is Stormtrooper . The Wife and one Brother in Law are into Star Wars so I tried it, I was impressed. They do Pils, IPAs , Stout & Pale Ales. I've enjoy most, the Stout was a push, but the packaging is great.

Too sweet, (the pineau not you Tone) 

 

Locally it is served as a starter for dinner.

Take a cantaloupe melon, cut in half and remove the seeds etc. Then fill up the hollowed out section with pineau and get stuck in. Tis luverly

I managed to get some cans of R Whites lemonade from Amazon.

Not the cheapest lemonade, but it's fantastic (and is full of nostalgia!), always used to buy a bottle, open it, have a glass and then by the time I fancied a second glass about a week later it had gone flat.

Water at the moment, which has more taste and potency than all those bloody awful craft pale ales that are far too prodigious in pubs now. 

Over hopped p155, most of it. One exception is Hop, Skip and Juice from the Vocation brewery. Delicious and citrussy.

I’m a lager boy normally. 
 

I drink Carling when I’m not drinking(!!) or on an all-dayer when more than 10 may be consumed. 
 

Spanish beer: I like both Estrellas but Galicia is my favourite over Damm. Alhambra is nice - but stronger so drink with care. 
Not keen on Cruzcampo at all but will drink it if no other beer is available. 
San Miguel is a bit sweet for me but again I will drink it depending on the available alternatives. Also it’s not Spanish it’s Philipino. 
Kronenbourg is always nice.  
Basically I like premium lagers except for Stella and Cruzcampo. 
Carlsberg Export is ok but Carlsberg ‘normal’ is gnats piss only good for watering the garden. 
 

I drink the odd cider on a hot day and I’ll drink Real Ale on the rare occasion I attend a beer festival, but neither are my tipple of choice. I also have the odd pint of Guinness occasionally but again it’s not my tipple of choice.

It’s lager for me. 

The odd glass of wine with a meal and hardly any spirits - possibly a shot at Christmas that’s it.

More of an historical view, than an answer to the question.

After nearly a year I'm feeling very fit back in the gym and enjoying life just at a slower pace

Yep, got back late yesterday, love it there… we always stay on Dover Beach in the Gap.

Get tired of the Banks & Rum after a week though, really looking forward to a Thatchers Dry.

Fair play mate, I've stayed there a few times. Absolutely fantastic place.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

We like Holetown on the West Coast. My favourite days activity is to go to a rum shack off the beaten track and buy a couple of bottles of rum and see who you can make friends with.
