Morgan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Is it for relaxation? Peer pressure? Habit? Boredom? To accentuate/enhance a meal? The feeling? Or just because you bloody well like it? Personally, I answer to three of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnrazor Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Habit... It signifies the end of the week, reward? This, not I drink during the week, sometimes, but not often, come Friday night I'd kill for a bottle of red wine or a few bottles of Duvel, I feel a bit shit after drinking, not through a hangover but knowing I didn't really need to drink at all but I do like it, and look forward to a drink at the weekend, I need to stop again for a couple months again, it's not much help when you're trying to loose a stone.

Don Dan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I enjoy a drink. Right now I'm sitting in El Duque beach in Tenerife having a cold beer and the wife is having an Aperol Spritz. 30deg C and watch the people go by. Totally relaxed after a hard days sunbathing and swimming. Another beer on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 What do you brew? Anything, I've got two different Lagers, An American Pale Ale and a German Golden Ale which I'm drinking now, getting near the end of the 4 of then now, so I'll probably do a few batches towards the the end of July. End of July start of August is when I brew a Christmas Ale if I'll doing one, they usually need a few months maturing also depends on how strong I make it. Usually it's kits I use, but sometimes I add extra hops or things like molasses sugar, just to spice them up a bit. A lot of the kits today are pretty good, you still get some rubbish but a lot of the breweries also produce in kit form some of their beers which you'd buy in bottle or cask, some of them are quite good.

GforGallo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Feeling firstly but habit too. When it gets to near the end of the working week I start wanting a pint. I don't need it, it's just habit. I do still enjoy the feeling though. It makes watching stand up comedy more fun, playing fifa better or watching a film more engaging. I also bloody well enjoy the taste of some drinks.

Big fan of wheat beers myself but due to the lack of room in a 2 bedroomed house I've never got round to trying to brew my own and basic starter kits online seem to start at about ?65. Much better to jump on a cheap Ryanair flight to Brussels and drink it on draught, already been twice this year and took in a Molenbeek game at the same time.....Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the continental wheat beers or the strong Duvel types, don't like lagers, tennants ect, like export, 70, 80 type beer, any recommendations? Just google home brew shop or home brew online, they both have everything you would need to get started and the kits to brew, there are quite a few online shops now, not just these two. There are some wheat beer kits nowadays and there is a Belgian Company called Brewferm which do all the strong Belgian styles. It's so simple to brew nowadays, you don't need anything special, no values, tubes or anything apart from a tub. I have the Coopers Beer Starter Kit, which is basically a large plastic barrel with a lid at the top and a tap at the bottom. Even the kits are simplicity themselves, often containing everything you need and just requiring water to be added and if you live in a soft water area tap water will do the job. A week to 10 days later your brew is usually ready to bottle, then it matures for a few weeks or months depending on the style and bob's your uncle you have up to 40 500ml bottles of beer. Mind by the time it's fully mature you'll find that you don't have 40 bottles, well you have to sample them every week or so, purely for quality control you understand.

Morgan Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Today in France is the Fete du Musique. It's held every year to celebrate the summer solstice (longest day). Every bar and restaurant has live music and there are bands playing on the beaches and on the promenade tonight. Moral of this story is that everyone will be drinking too much and enjoying the music on offer. Sometimes they further 'celebrate' this at the end of the evening by setting fire to cars. This is a big tradition on Hogmanay as well. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Honest post! No point trying to lie about it, to be fair! I just enjoy the way a beer or 8 makes me feel. Light headed, floaty, happier about things, finding things funnier - it does it all. I'm not one of those drinkers that gets aggressive after a few too many, but I do become a lot more sociable and enjoy things like playing the Playstation or watching a film more. Of course, there's a fine line where it goes from "that was a good night" to "what the hell happened last night?" that gets crossed sometimes. That doesn't quite feel the same way!

Jamhammer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I support Hearts I support West Ham I support The New York Mets I support The Cincinnati Bengals By rights I should be on smack In all seriousness I started drinking, like most fellas cos it's what you do but have never been a big drinker. Classic binge drinker really but, more recently I've really got into trying different beers. Some good uns out there, even in the supermarkets.
