Ordered a 24 can variety pack from Thistly Cross (with a nifty six can holder bag as well) and will give the Elderflower and Whisky Cask versions a go for the first time this evening. 

Big fan of Thistly Cross, especially the ginger version. Will be interested to hear what the two debutants are like

I bought a couple of bottles of this American style IPA  from Sainsbury's. It's brewed by Marston's.
Pretty nice. 
Those sainsburys ones are decent. The Rye one is a good aswell.

On another note I tried a Gose the other night. Rank.

My mate's wedding was in Dunbar last year and right next door to where they make the stuff so the venue had Thistly Cross on tap instead of Strongbow or Magners. Which was both very good news at the time and made for a far lighter hangover the next day.

The elderflower is very good, with a distinct but not overpowering elderflower taste. With a slight carbonation and added ice it would be fantastic on a warm summer's day, which sadly it is not on the Clyde Riviera this evening. Hopefully the Scottish fruit ciders that came in the pack are done just as well.

The Whisky Cask claims to be matured in Glen Moray 12 year old whisky barrels. It's got a caramel or brown sugar like flavour without being too sweet and goes down very easily for 6.7%. It's a bit more interesting than the traditional or original varieties but I'm not sure if I prefer it to them or not.

Currently having an Ossian
Had a Birra Morreti torp beforehand and a bottle of Brookston beer (Aldi Budweiser) & Rossini (Aldi Peroni) this afternoon whilst watching the Bundesliga.

A neat glass of Ron Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva, an aged Venezuelan rum. It's absolutely glorious stuff, like drinking a dark chocolate and coffee cake and IMO far better than most whisky you'd get in that price range.

A definite upside of the pubs being shut for so long is being able to upgrade the house stash by just buying the good stuff on Amazon instead.
