I didn't realise that [mention=68117]Bairnardo[/mention] is a Brosette. Is this an age thing? I have no idea what that is.... Back in the 80s Bros fans were known as Brosettes and they had a brief fashion fad that involved tying Grolsch bottle tops into their shoelaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 It's a decent enough slurp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Innis and Gunn have been around a while. I thought they were owned by or their stuff used to be brewed at Tennents.We done the Tennents tour and were told that they brewed I&G stuff for a while as Tennents have excess brewing space that they essentially rent it out to other smaller breweries.Think I&G have grown a fair bit since then and prob brew/bottle their own stuff now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I mulled over was actually San Miguel which is from where I live but the label is completely different and San Miguel isn't actually a specific beer here - it's a brewery with a few different beers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I like gin and I like rosé, so I took a blind punt on this. Rosé gin. It’s utterly horrific. What was I thinking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordons gin, Schweppes tonic, ice and lime. G&T was always excellent, long before the fad bullshit and folk trying to explain to you that "Edinburgh Gin with a twist of orange and Fever Tree slimline" is some sort of new discovery. It doesn't need someone who knows what they are doing either. G&T is a fine drink. That's not to say there aren't a variety of quality gins out there. The whole bullshit around gin fucks me off though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 A decent wee haul from M&S for tonight. Some Paulaner and a few random cans of various Mikkeller beers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Bairnardo said it. I like a G&T but generally it tastes of whatever you add to it. Aldi's own brand, Cromwell, has won awards. £17 a litre. I have to say, though, I enjoy when Mrs Bold presents me with a Brockmans with pieces of fruit and, perchance, some herbs and spices!

Hypocrite? Moi? Oh aye, don't get me wrong, aside from gin liquiers which can go straight into the sewer, there are plenty of fancy combos that taste class. Point is, G&T was around before for a very long time and has always been excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree with this. Whilst I mentioned wetherspoons, it could be any pub really where the staff 'dunts' (yes, that's the correct term) you some gin from an optic then skooshes some tonic in the glass and it will usually only guarantee you one thing. It'll be rank. And aye, whilst Gordon's is perfectly fine, I have a preference for The Botanist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This from Overtone. As the name suggests its an absolute belter. Sour raspberry and sweet vanilla. Cracker of a sour. So glad I've discovered the Wee Beer Shop this year, everything I've had from them has been quality 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole bullshit around gin fucks me off though. Absolutely this. Waaaaaay back in the day I'd always have a couple of Gin and Tonics if out drinking. Unsure why I stopped, but haven't had one in probably over a decade at least. See also: Long vodka. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Used to drink it with tonic but I really don't like tonic so switched to lemonade. Much better for me. If you want a really refreshing drink in summer go for gin and bitter lemon and if anyone hasn't tried it, don't give me yer shite until you've tried it. Almost every time I'm on a work night out I get slagged for it until they try it. FWIW I bought this tonight and am now tucking in. So far it's very nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
