Beer

The Western was fantastic this afternoon. Very pleasurable hour to get the heat from doing the decorating out of my system.

I will be there every weekday teatime w.c. 13 July.

We go to Portugal on the 18th but before then it would be rude not to have a jar or two.

I guess "tap" was never sexual innuendo in the UK...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No - it is a faucet

 

[MARKakaJIM]

It has a sexual connotation here too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well I guess it does, but the main meaning of the word is pretty clear

Only thanks to our American brethren.

Drinking a pint of hoegaarden in a pub in Brussels after an enforced stay due to the bloody French.

Trappist ales are the highest echelon of beer.

Westmalle. Can't beat it. I've never tried Westverleteren, that is meant to be the best.

So how was it? I imagine it's a bit like Dr. Evil's layer....

Not quite but fairly close!

I have had an awesome 2 days being inducted into all things BrewDog! This has included but not limited to:
A history of beer
A history of BrewDog
2.5 hour tour with Bowman who is the Head Brewer and 3rd BrewDog employee. Went around every nut and bolt of the factory and learned about the whole process, it is really impressive.
Our group brewed our own beer today which is currently fermenting. We had complete control over what we could brew and as we wanted to use some of the amazing hops on offer we went for a double IPA which will come in at around 9% abv and be hoppy as fuck! I'll get about 9 botttles of our Hop Damnation delivered to my house after fermentation and conditioning!
Had a tasting session today to go through most of the BD beers.

Found out I get a "beer allowance" of 24 bottles PER MONTH. Which will be boxed up and sent to my house each month from the warehouse, a mix of BD, various guest beers etc which is pretty cool! Doubt I'll have the need to buy beer again for a while!

Been a really cool two days, ready to get started on the real job now!

That's an unbelievable perk!

I used to get 4 "points" per week in with my wages when I worked at the brewery for the staff shop.

8 points got you a 24 pack of lager (cans) or 10 points for a pack of bitter (cans also). I think it was 6 for a pack of stubbys. They also did various bottles of spirits for 12 or 16 points depending on what it was.

Now that was a good screw. I used to have packs of beer stacked up at home! Though it was just standard beers, nothing special.

BrewDog are fond of their alternative names. The induction was carried out by the 'happiness manager' my boss is the 'navigator' and the IT bloke is our 'binary warrior'!

Machin - play your cards right, anything is possible.

 

[machin05]

They sound like a right bunch of douches, tbh

 

[Stan Hullis]

No need to bring your mum into this

Just enjoying a Jaipur in the Angel, Whitby to be followed by a Whitby Whaler and then Press Ganged!

Fucking hell!! You will need those 24 bottles to either wash your memory out or smash their skulls in.

What on earth is your job title?
