Craft Beer

Looks class mate. Where else did you get to?

I may also try get in after Christmas. @FlyingLotus I'll bring the bairn to give you a taste of your drinking days to come. :lol: Had him in the Magnet yesterday and it was like trying to have a relaxing pint next to a deranged wild animal.
It gets a lot better quite quickly if you persevere, my 5 year old is great in pubs, she loves it and I actually think it’s a good skill for kids to learn to behave in an adult environment.
 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I gave in after about six months and had a 10 year sabbatical in wacky warehouses.

Anyway, just had a Quick look into the new place cos we were on a there and back in one day to pick the bairn up. Naturally the Mrs drove home 😂 just back now

Never really went out with the missus much after the bairn came along, she went out with her mates, me with mine. "Bairn" is 28 now and we still rarely go out together, other than on holiday or weekends away.

This. It's been a semi regular thing throughout. Think it helps we are usually in family friendly type micro pubs usually too rather than places people are getting splattered and watching sport etc.

The missus is my main supping companion as she's a fan of same places Most of my mares are lager louts so they are kept for daft go your ends type outings.
Did you have the chauffeur donker. I was impressed but wor lass thought it was brilliant
Didn't mate. Don't think I even saw it.

Oh absolutely. She wasn’t a badly behaved bairn, I think it was more me being overly paranoid about others around d us, to the point I just ended going where all the other parents and bairns were. Probably should have pushed through it

Aye. Same here. As some on here will attest :lol:
Couldn’t agree more, you have to take them to a pub that’s appropriate for them to be in (but not a kids pub, they can fuck right off).
Aye, twenty years ago the kind of places I go to now didn’t really exist either… which didn’t really help

Perhaps the style of pubs were different when yours was young?

Well every time I've seen you out on the pop your good lady has been there. Means you made a good choice ;)
 
Just had Vaux export stout on draft up in Tyne valley. 6% loveliness. Never seen that before but highly recommended 👍


Was about to open a Vault City 15%er & pulled back. Think I’ll have a handful of mid strength ones before the big fella arrives.

15% go on son.

Didn’t realise how early it was. Feels about 7/8. Got a couple of hours before we negotiate bedtime with the brats. Future Longy will not thank himself for a 15%er early tomorrow morning
Not really craft beer probably but having some cans of Brewdog Black Heart to kick of this eve, palatable.
They’ve done a decent job of it as a Guinness challenger like. Had it on tap in the MOD bar the other day. Better than the Camden effort.

Struggling with this like. Not sure how long I’ve had it, but it’s got a fruity aftertaste. Could be off.
