Title: Beer and whisky
Post by: Gunfreak on 01 October 2010, 08:53:42 PM
After wargaming my second passion is whisky, and now I'm trying to learn to like beer, sorry for the spelling, but as I was writing it I drank more and more. not a lot, I'm just realy a feather weight so 3 small glasses of whisky and a liter of beer gets me going down.

I'm guessing most people on the forum is old enough to drink, after all the avrage age of a wargamer is like 77

I don't think you'll get a hotel room in London for £25 per night - try £90.

Glad you are trying proper beer. A couple of my current favourites are Coniston Blue Bird, and Waggle Dance (which has a hint of honey), and Lonesome Pine by the Ulverston brewing company. Good luck in trying to get any of these in Norway  :-\

That sounds like heaven!

Personally my favourite is Westerham's "Freedom Ale"........very nice.

Gaming at a pub was one of the joys of working in London.  Again sometime, I hope.

At home, I am more inclined to a glass of rum, straight up.  I am diabetic, so I don't drink very often.  As far as scotch goes, I like Bruichladdich - it does not hit you over the head with a "scotchy" flavor.

If you don't like the scotch scotch, I recomend Bladnoch has a distinct Brandy nose and taste, but if you are diabetic the sweeter stuff might not be good for you.
