Drunk as a skunk
Duncan Brown:
When you have finished with the breweries and want to graduate to the grown-up stuff, there are over 90 (legal) DISTILLERIES in Scotland producing the water of life (why do you think we moved up here). If you're interested let me know and we'll sample the water's togther hic !
Vam:
Hubby ears pricked up at the mere mention of brewery vists... So if there is something going on can we come please? :)
Talking of Scotland and the real stuff, would be good too! :wink:
Has anyone read Ian Banks 'In search of a we dram'
Steve's just read it, Ive started and there's a brilliant bit about Landrovers and the joy on them. He's obviously a real fan, mentioned them in passing In 'Dead Air'

Hello Helen
We are comming down to Northampton this, week have a look at :Show/ Pay and Play/ Events: :An old freind is visting: and join in the fun
Bush Tucker Man:
SWMBO used to have a thing for Theakstons 'Old Peculiar' http://www.theakstons.co.uk/ & Black Sheep Ales, 'RiggWelter' in particular http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/
Every drive out into the Yorkshire Dales meant that if we were calling for dinner/snack at a puib it had to provide one of these 2 fluids.
Nowadays she likes a drop of pure malt Whisky.
When we were on our way back from our 'Weekend In Whitby' I took her to Stamford Bridge (the one near York) & the whisky shop there.

I'd been in the shop before out of curiosity & was amazed by the variety of Whiskys on sale. The proprietor reckoned he'd got over 600 differant blends!
Some were over £400 a bottle!! :shock:
She sampled, upon is kind offer, & I ended up buying her 2 bottle that came to about £80.00!!!
One of them was almost £60.00 by itself :shock: - that's standing in the bar not to be opened
Apparantly the cask was destroyed after contents were bottled, so the distinctive flavour won't be copied/diluted
