We were buying real ale take-out during the first lockdown. Really enjoyed it after being a lager-lout all my life but not really liking it bottled or canned.

Am rather gutted that takeaway beer isn't allowed this time. I'm an amateur compared to those who frequent the beer thread, but will definitely look to extend my repertoire this time.

I don't drink quantity, so probably still around the recommended limits.

Will also be doing jigsaws and walking. Can add Shipley Park and Linacre Reservoirs to @sage's recommendations.

 

I used to love Linacre Reservoirs when I lived in Chesterfield. Loads of walks around there but best sticking to the paths around the water this time of year.

I’ve got a couple of gallons of cider brewing. I might get a beer on for Christmas too.

Got about 3.5 gallons brewing myself (1.5 left of the current batch). Also got enough apples saved up to brew another 6-7 gallons after that as well ?

have had a go at home brew myself in the past, probably something I got wrong,  tried bitter and lager, was ok but always had a bit of an aftertaste a bit like alcohol free beer.

Not to pry, but you did seem to be drinking a ducking lot a few months back. I did wonder how good it was for your mental health.

Within a few hours of publicly pulling @Davidup on his drinking, @DarkFruitsRam7 went out heavy drinking, shat himself, panicked and checked himself into a Hungarian hospital where he proceeded to throw up all over the floor before they wiped his bum and sent him home to sleep it off.

Tonight I was having a shave, one last visit to Memsaab before lockdown.

 

I just read @Eddie's post then yours and got very confused.  Why is @Eddie ruining his shielding by letting you in for his wife to give you a shave? Hypocrites!!

How long ago? There is a good range of beers now from Porters/Stouts/IPAs and they seem to have improved the quality of them. I can do cider myself but the beers I buy a kit. I have found a lovely single hop IPA. It works out @ 50p a pint. 
I did one before that I felt left a taste so I tried a different one. It can be a bit trial and error with the taste of some beers.

Mrs VdM is occupying herself writing daily letters to Boris to get lockdown extended to Christmas to avoid the Senior MoodHoovers?

For the benefit of anyone believing the root vegetable’s lies, I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis.

Luckily you are used to emergency trips to toilets.

Not had a drink then when you rocked up at the hospital at 3am covered in your own faeces?

At least try and make it sound believable. Go and sober up.

I didn't realise a few beers can cause liquids to come out of both ends at the same time, more than 5 hours after the last drink.

I'm just trying to work out which bits needed shaving that @reverendo de duivel couldn't reach himself? ?‍♀️
