Beer Review – Duvel

October 18, 2009 under Uncategorized

“It looks like a pudding”
Anne

Well I suppose it does. Kinda. Pale yellow, with a slight hint of green. This strong tasting fizzy beer went nicely with a Haggis. One of those beers that I’ve been meaning to try for a while but never quite got round to it.

Worth a drink when you get a chance.

Innis and Gunn – Rum Cask

October 17, 2009 under Uncategorized

In a mad attempt to drink something that isn’t Guinness, last night I dug our last bottle of this beautful stuff out of its hiding place. I reviewed this last time – still think its beautiful now. Gentle, yet deep tasting. I’m still amazed at the smell of rum, this time I was also very aware of a little fizz that was well gorgeous.

You’re not going to be able to pick this up by itself again for a while I reckon – but I did see it on sale earlier in a Christmas box set in Sainsburys. With two other beers from Innis and Gunn I may not wait for Christmas.

Another Reason Not to Vote Conservative

October 7, 2009 under Uncategorized

DRINKERS will face late night ‘alco-tax’ under a Conservative government in a bid to crack down on Britain’s binge-drinking culture.

The Conservatives also plan to increase taxes on super-strength beer, cider and alcopops to stop teenagers getting “very drunk quickly and cheaply”.

A four-pack of super-strength lager would rise by £1.33 and a large bottle of alcopop would increase by £1.50, shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said.

He told the Conservative party conference in Manchester the tax rises would not hit “responsible drinkers”.

He said: “The ordinary pint in the pub will not be affected and there will be exemptions for some local traditional products.
But we’ll call time on the drinks that fuel antisocial behaviour.”

Daily Express

To put it simply. The Conservatives are saying that they will slap more tax on super-strength beer, cider and alcopops. I have a few worries about this. How strong does a beer have to be to be “super-strength”? Is this going to affect perfectly normal ciders that perfectly sensible people like drinking? And…well… I dont care too much about alcopops… There are comments about some local traditional products being exempt but how do small businesses go about proving they should be exempt?

Surely this is just another tax on a stressed out population who just want to have a drink!

This is all against the back drop of Conservatives not following their own ban on expensive alcohol during the conference. David Cameron being the latest person to be caught out (see left!)
