Ah! You lucky dog.
Bell's is nice, but you also have Founders, which I like a lot more. I know their taproom is open quite a lot. Have you tried any of their brews?

Its a lovely early summer evening so decided to try Bulmers pear cider.

Its nice enough, but tastes exactly like apple cider

Had a few shots of this stuff a couple nights back:

...looking back, I'm not quite sure why.

Thats some quality drinking there! I used to have a couple shots of that stuff every night out, sets you up for the evening!

Oh man, Goldschlager! Takes me back to my college days, sitting around in a dorm room sucking that stuff down with no mixer or ice. I once drank a bunch of that stuff when I had a cold, it really messed me up.

This is a very good beer that I had recently:

It tastes different, it's a bit sweeter... My local off license has got it for 75 p a bottle at the moment so I have been indulging myself.

a nice california sauvignon blanc - had veggie lasagna for dinner and finishing the bottle as i write.

You really can't go wrong with Goose Island, currently a big fan of their 312 wheat brew, delish.

Went for some cheap beers tonight....these were pretty damn good.
