You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm working from home today, so as its that time, Mrs Binners has just kindly just plonked a G&T down. May have a wander down to the brewery shortly
What's everyone else having then to get the weekend started?
Chin chin!
I've some brewdog zombie cake for this evening. Or a nice red if I'm not alone in my drinking.
Lots of ice cold San Miguel and Estrella left in the fridge from last weekend.
May throw in a couple of Sea Dog rums or Bulleit bourbons.
Depends what's on at the pub later. They change their beers regularly and I haven't been in for a few weeks so it could be anything. Hopefully a citrus IPA of some kind.
About to go for a quick run, then a G&T or two with wraps for dinner followed by a couple of Augustiners I brought back from Germany a few weeks back. Splendid.
Pint of Purple Moose Elderflower earlier
I have a can of Twickenham Ales Session IPA and a can of Camden 'Show Off' Juicy Lager in the fridge, just using willpower not to go in too early.
Silent pool G&T ... the sun's coming back so why not?
going to pedal along to the corner shop soon and see what they've got. Fancy a Hefeweizen or 2. schhhhlurrrp!
Saving myself for walking football then it’ll be Old Mout cider with a smoked salmon salad and then prime position on the couch
Got some Clockwork Tangerine in the fridge. Sadly, I'm driving tonight so it will have to wait until we get to Devon...
For the G&T drinkers, Mrs Binners has just cracked a bottle of Hortus Artisan Citrus Garden Gin open from Lidl
Not had this one before. It's absolutely bloody lovely!
So the boys junior cricket training on a friday evening usually allows for a pint of Atlantic at the club, but pish wet down here so may have to substitute in a pint of Butty Bach at the local instead!
Just putting this in to this whilst drinking a Stella! Always been a lout!

After taking until today to finally recover from last Saturday's stag-do related drinking antics; *nothing*.
There's a really good reason why I stopped doing this, that was a timely and painful reminder.
Thornbridge - Halcyon and London Beer Factory - Dance Juice, while getting the bike and gear ready for a ride tomorrow.
Asahi
Thankfully they have removed the tag line.
I used to drink this at uni, so I will find out later if it’s as nice as I remember.
Binners what is the cost of that good looking gin? Mrsws is fast becoming a gin fangirl. Also which tonic?
Off round the corner for a Chouffe or 2 🙂
Goose Island 312, an "Urban Wheat Ale". Don't know if its any good but it was reduced so I'll give it a go.
Fridge contains,
Northern Monk Striding Edge
Tiny Rebel Cwtch and Clwb Tropicana
Thornbridge Jaipur
Hop Back Summer Lightning
Which is nice.
Hobgoblin IPA - Not seen it before, very nice, though a bit more sun would sit better than the grey currently over the house
Hmm, Leffe or a Pinot Grigio.
Sampford Courtney Cider and maybe a Tarquins Blackberry and Honey G&T later.
I'm sipping at a bottle of Lidl's Perlenbacher.
Harpoon IPA - bloomin lovely!
Fixed Wheel Brewery, Mr 60%. Absolutely beautiful start to the weekend. Lovely
Stuff.
Already quaffing...
Just finished a pint of Hurricane Jack. Now off to Half Man Half Biscuit gig.
Farmer's boots on tap, a fine way to finish a Friday
There is so much beer here that I haven't had a Leffe in a loooong time 🙁
@wrightyson - I put the link in. It’s 16 quid a bottle. It really is bloody good. Fever Tree tonic FTW 😃
Weston's Wyld Wood organic cider,from a box,very nice,but I'm looking at buying a 20L box of Heck's Port Wine of Glastonbury,which is drop dead gorgeous.
Just started with a Sipsmiths Lemon Drizzle gin and Hooch
Clwb Tropicana
Thornbridge Jaipur
Hop Back Summer Lightning
I is well jel.
Either “some” glasses of home brew Elderflower Golden Ale or a few cans from the Lost and Found Brewery. Whatever’s left from the 24 cans for 6 quid bargain box from one of the local breweries.
Car broke down so had to ride in to the village to collect the kids, which meant we had wait for Mrs S to come and drive them home....what to do withe kids for an hour and a half, what to do....pub. two pints of slow worm later Mrs S came and got the kids I got to ride home and about to get lashed in to Aldi pilsner and stir fry. Sweet.
This stuff, IPA is ok, nothing mind-blowing.

Back in Aberdeen after many years... Few pints of Brewdog’s Instamatic, which is right there on my taste. Far better than the artificial nastiness that is Elvis Juice that I’d heard so much about!
Where else in Aberdeen for decent IPAs? I’ve been spoilt by Perth, WA where there’s literally a craft beer / warehouse / pizza / coffee joint on every corner.
Lovely sunny evening here, so will likely stroll down to the filly and pick up couple of Cromarty brewery's finest.
Opted for 1664 instead of the usual Stella. 👍
Lidl’s Belgian selection. F me theyre strong , but rather tasty 😋
Sierra Nevada in my glass at the moment...
St Peters Plum Porter, followed by a Butty Bach (with a gap to rest one's palate) 🙂
I managed two half pints of fosters, absolutely shattered today!
Off down to Drink to see what Martins got tonight - hopefully something hazy, hoppy, dry and about 3.8%...work tomorrow though 🙁
Neilco, you can try any of the 3 brewdog bars, 6 Degrees North, the Craftsman or CASC. Either/any of those will sort you oot!
Just back from ride - can of Moretti then nice bottle of red lined up 🙂
Elvis juice for me on a campsite in Nottinghamshire!
A close second to being out on the bike...

Lidl Argos stubbies sadly
Just finished work... Now enjoying a Weihenstephaner Hefe Weißbier
Oh ja!!!
Is this edl without the el?
2 small tins of cheep lager
A negroni
The remains on the red I braised the beef in, only a glass left, beef was tasty
And now starting on the next bottle
I fancied lager, so grabbed some tinnies of Birra Moretti, it's Italian for Heineken, dontcha know;-)
Haven't tried this for a long time so just bought a bottle.
Normally I would go for Birra Moretti ...
p.s: ... and it is crap ... should have gone for Birra Moretti instead ...
Sipping on a Skinner's Lushingtons that I bought in Truro a couple of weeks ago. Shame I can't buy it locally so I may have to pop to Cornwall soon.
+1 for the Estrella
Had a Brewdog Hop Rocker.
Currently on a Camden Pale.
Mrs is on a City of London with Fevertree.
Bottle of Sicilian Pinot in fridge for later.
Someone gave me a selection of Innes and Gunne beers as a thankyou for fixing their bike, very generous!
All syruppy awful crap so far sadly, just poured the last two thirds of a bottle down the sink. Too late for a whisky now so on the water, sulking.
Coupla tins of 1664, totally forgetting the bottle of Dark Side of the Moose near the back door, doh.
Just back from the pub where several pints of Harvey's Copperwheat went down very well
Veltins is a nice delicate little number, always best as a first pint you can't taste it after that!
Moorish:
Bear ale from Traquair/ Innerleithan. Made a slightly too hot curry, so this is perfect to balance it out. Well that + some Aussi red too.
Two pints of T.E.A.
Plus, there was a large tray of baked potato slices with a sweet chilli dip on the bar for customers to help themselves to. Nom!
Coupla tins of 1664, totally forgetting the bottle of Dark Side of the Moose near the back door, doh.
Wait, what? You were drinking 1664, (😝), in favour of Dark Side Of The Moose! Damn you sirrah, for such an unforgivable crime!
Glad you like there mate, 6 Degrees North is worth a visit if your still going!
This evening I have a couple bottles of Egret which is much more local. Brewed in Tiffield, about 8 miles outside of Northampton.
Becks tonight, last nights Asahi was as good as I remember. Dry on the way in and no after taste.
Was busy with meetings last night, now tucking into a pint of Black Sheep, forgotten how good it is
T.E.A was good yesterday, tonight it’ll probably be one of Twisted Brewery’s brews, can’t remember which one is on at the moment, but this is their range:

There was a local food fair in Corsham today, and there were a couple of local breweries displaying their wares, Brotherhood Brewing from Westbury, not far from where I work, and not far from Twisted Brewing Co, and Kettlesmith Brewing in Bradford-on-Avon, and I’ve got three of theirs in the kitchen ready to enjoy tomorrow evening. 😁

Just had a Beavertown Neck Oil as a starter, West Berks/Renegade Snake Oil next.
All about the oil.
I'm rather fond of Hop House 13.
My fave is Brugse Zot, however.
Bloomsday today so a few porters are in order.
