TWINSET 1793 Posted February 22, 2014 My wife bought be a case of this for Christmas, loved it;http://www.amazon.co.uk/CHILI-Chili-Flavoured-Lager-Bottle/dp/B004EAJ0GW Each bottle has a chili in it, some are a lot more potent than others, but I'd say 10 out of 12 were good n hot. Obviously has a pretty weird taste, but not unpleasant if you're ok with chilies Also tried some Iron Maiden Trooper beer - not a beer expert by any means, but it was a good drink http://www.ironmaidenbeer.com/# 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi yes just tasted the pale ale make of brewdog so far but heard good things about it lol not a fan of whisky have you tried any of the scandinavian vodkas like finlandia,absolut,koskenkorva, they are very nice with water no hangover as long as you don't drink to much of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromvw 744 Posted February 22, 2014 Ah now we come to my other hobby - Beer . I've being a member of CAMRA for over 15 years so obviously I love Real Ale . But i'll not become the Beer Bore on here . All I will say is that if you want a quality beer track down a micro brewery that makes traditional hand crafted ales . Some of the ones I've tried at Beer Festivals have being outstanding in recent years . Oh and join CAMRA - real Ale NEEDS YOU . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidewaysdave69 188 Posted February 22, 2014 Cairn o' mohr is nice as said most asda's sell it. vrs55 you stay in Orkney and you don't like whiskey! i am surprised you haven't been thrown off the island. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sidewaysdave69 188 Posted February 23, 2014 Vrs55 does a bear releave itself in the woods? at the moment i am getting stuck in about a bottle of Jim Beam honey, that's my favourite at the moment. Scottish whiskey is just as nice. Don't bother with the western isles, to peaty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
