So with the nice weather we're having,I dare say many are enjoying BBQ and drinks in garden or wherever.
I bought a mixture of Bulmers cider and becks beer yesterday,and when I got home I noticed that one of the Bulmers was of a fruity looking colour that I must of picked up by mistake.
I opened the bottle and Took a massive gulp and was instantly hooked on the taste,Bulmers pressed red grape,and its effing nice.
So nice that i bought 10 more bottles after work today
The nice weather is meant to go on for a few more days yet,anyone got some more nice alcoholic drinks to share in this nice weather...

I used to drink a lot when I was younger. Now I can take or leave it. When it's sunny tho there is nothing better than a cold one. When the weather changes for the worse I will go months without a drink

The flavoured cider has really taken off, especially towards the younger audience I'd say. You only have to walk down the cider isle and half of the shelves are stacked with fruity flavoured cider. Every alcoholic drink I have it's either a flavoured cider of some variety/brand or JD and coke. All my friends enjoy the flavoured cider too. Regardless, I could still drink plain normal cider but I can't stand lager or beer.

Try the Brothers toffee apple or Gaymers cherry and apple, they're my favourite ciders.

I go to Belgium on business fairly regularly, they have some of the nicest beers ever.
However, they too have some seriously strong beers.
Last time I was there I was given this ridiculous beer called delirium.
It was 9%, brewed in Ghent

It's a massive branding success, not much more. What was wrong with calling pear cider 'Perry'?

I have 4 bottles of that at home, not actually that bad, the 12% one is where it is at!

I spend alot of time travelling to belgium etc, just on "beer tourism"

Bofferding is where it is at...

Matteeboy

I drink mostly light beer.


Then I can justify drinking more of it.

You wanna try Rubicon guava juice, Les. Cheaper at LIDL, of course. It's gorgeous if you're into exotic flavours.

when i was out in Czech last week,we sat outside in the evening and i had a few jim beam with ice,the warmth of the drink as it trickled down my throat was bloody gorgeous..

mrmadcap

I'll bet you kick the crap out of the wife and the inlaws after supping that chemical.

Turbohot

Well, I can still kill for tamarind juice and fresh green apple juice that I drank like a fish in Barbados. Unlike Caribbean rum effect, no headache, no hangover, no head-spinning. Just fantastic taste and ability to stand back on two feet without going zig-zaggy.

Funnily enough I have a whole crate of Erdinger Weißbier in my kitchen and will be tucking into one or two throughout the evening

Don't really drink anymore, but when the weather is stunning its nice to sit outside with a BBQ and a cold fruity cider!!
Seems to be loads more different flavours out now, all jumping on the Kopperberg bandwagon. Not complaining because I can't stand normal apple/pear cider.
I like Jaques summer fruits.

Tried a black cherry something, might have been Kopperberg, and wasn't much impressed. Don't like the strawberry and line Rekorderlig either.

Im on Crabbies original at the moment. Tried the various fruit versions but original is best over ice.

I did not realise until last weekend Budweiser is now 4.8% alcohol as it used to be 5. Changed due to tax laws hitting higher % beers. Apparently Stella and Becks did the same.

Oh and finally picked up some limes & mint tonight for Mojito's - now that is refreshment!

P1Fanatic

Lol will have to try that combo. Got a bottle of the lime version which is not bad but a bit too strong on the lime.
