Default Poured the first Friday drink..ginger beer!

Just trying a Crabbies ginger beer(on recommendation) before I sort out the Wychwood collection

Not sure I can drink anymore than the first sip...strike a light its sweet! (that is literally sweet,not the down with the kids speak)

Might have to swill my mouth out with a beer

The trouble with alcoholic ginger beer, is, you forget it's alcoholic and swig it as you would non-alcoholic!

Just back from Combat Fitness (Grrrrrr).

Put the little lad to bed and enjoying an Old Speckled Hen. That will be followed by either a Hobgoblin or a Leffe Brun

+1 for Crabbies Ginger Beer, it's hellishly moorish, although you must be very savoury to find it sweet, I find it quite dry....

I read the title and thought someone was offering me a drink

Ginger beer is another work of the devil. Horrendous stuff!

Most ginger beer is far to mild for my liking. I find the alcoholic ones even more tame.

Now, a can of Old Jamaica Ginger beer really gets dem tings fied up

Crabbies, the best drink going; ice cold bottle with a slice of lemon (or lime if you're that way inclined.)
