My new favourite beer.
« on: 25 May 2018, 18:26:34 »

Heineken.  :)
I know its overpriced water and chemicals and tastes like it has been carefully extracted from the bladders of billions of gnats, but its my new favourite.  8) :) ::)....................

I tend to drink 5% lager rather than the three point something per cent pissy stuff.
 
Most taste very similar. The exception being Hop house 13 that has a distinctive 'hoppy taste' :y

Its better than that. A few days ago swmbo mentioned that I might want to buy some cans of Heineken on the way to work, but it must be from Tescos.
I thinks, this is obviously something to do with one of her competitions. I was correct.
She sent a text from her phone to Heineken, and instructed me how to do the same. Yesterday we both received texts which said "congratulations, you have won a pair of grandstand seats at the British grand prix at Silverstone on 8th July, and a years free subscription to the Heineken TV app" (whatever that is.)
I think the tickets are valued around £260 each and we got four.  :)
I shall sound my horn very loudly as I pass TB towers at 6am, on the 8th July, as I will be drinking his piss for the next week.  :P

My previous favourite recently has been Hop house 13. Quite a nice flavour to it.  :y

I certainly wouldn't pay that kind of money to watch it, but Hamilton is in my all time top three driver list, so it will be nice to actually see him driving in the flesh (almost).
Last time I went was 1982, when the tickets were around £25  (a couple of days wages) and then the kids came along, I couldn't afford it, and then got out of the habit of going.

I was taken to watch an F1 GP as a young kid......I'm pretty sure it was Silverstone but could be wrong.

Anyway. The race was won by Jim Clark so you can tell it didn't happen yesterday.

Well, the tickets arrived yesterday. It turns out they are platinum tickets for Abbey grandstand which is just before the first corner, with a good view of the start / finish straight and the pits. Also included are vouchers for free food, beer, T shirts, and entrance to some after race party or other.
Wouldn't get much change out of two grand for the four of us if we were stupid enough to pay with our own money.
Just got to suss out free parking now.  ;D

Hop House 13 would taste different... It’s a “Craft Beer”, not a Lager ;)

It definitely doesn't taste like Lager (much nicer), but it does say Lager on the label for some reason.  :-\

Some of the craft beers at £1.29 0.5l are very good at Aldi, a couple of my favourites are "Wild Bill's IPA" at 5% and "Old Empire IPA" at 5.7%, both have a very hoppy flavour. :y

While the weather is hot I don't mind drinking, ice cold, one of the German brewed lagers as they are brewed according to the German purity laws and have a reasonable flavour. At the moment I'm drinking Lidl's Perlenbacher Pils at 4.8% and 89p for 0.5l. :y You can split a pack & buy them individually, but it always seems so much easier to me to buy the full 18. ::) ::) ::)

I bought a fridge pack (12 tins) of Brewdog Punk IPA today, 5.6% and that too has a nice hoppy taste  :y

Damn . If only I had a helicopter.....

A suggestion would be to ring the organisers and explain your (platinum) plight.  They must have contingencies for people in your situation.
