The New Years Eve beer and music thread

Afternoon ladies and gents of the FMTTM universe and if I may wish each and every one of you all the best for 2022 and here's to hoping its a vast improvement on the last 2 years. It's been a difficult year for everyone on so many levels with people concerned about jobs, bills, health, mental health issues and more. New year is always a time for reflection as well as looking forward and to that end we have lost 2 of the great board members recently in @Borobarmy and @bear66 both of whom are a massive miss not just on this board but to their respective familes, friends, colleagues and communities too.If I have forgotten to mention any other members who are no longer with us no offence is intended of course and I apologise in advance should that be the case.

Without wanting to mention names there are a number of members of our board suffering with varying health and mental health issues too and so I want to wish those a really positive change in the New Year and that things improve quickly for them all - however, never forget we are a community and we are all here to help and support each other.

Onto more positive things next year looks much more positve from a footballing point of view and we go into 2022 with a huge level of hope and optimism. This season may be too early but there's been a massive shift in a short space of time under Chris Wilder and things are looking very rosy moving forward - lets hope he can get us promoted whether it be this season or next.

Getting onto the subject of drink now i've just found myself a new drink that I haven't tried before so have a few chilling in the fridge for later - it might be something @BoroFur has experienced before and if so, I hope it comes highly recommended as I'll be indulging in the stuff shortly!

Muscially, what else could I possibly start with but the fantastic Auld Lang Syne? Here's to a great night to you all and a much better 2022 for us all. Best wishes.

 
On thé ferry on the way home so I’ll be tucking in in a couple of hours. Just thought I’m sure there’s an open bottle of Kassel ’Donker’ waiting in the fridge.😋
Although if I start chucking 11%’ers down early doors I probably won’t see midnight!😀

Not had that one before @WeeGord and it doesn't look like it's readily available in the UK.

I've been a really good boy this year and Santa has rewarded me with a wide choice of beers to select from for tonight.

I've decided to go with Brugse Zot and I can tell a little story about this beer.

The story of the Brugse Zot dates back to the Middle Ages and the legend of Maximilian of Austria. After the death of his spouse Mary of Burgundy in 1482, Maximilian inherited the reign over the medieval Netherlands. Some of the Netherlander provinces were hostile to Maximilian and this was no different in Bruges. The government of Maximilian was harsh and taxes were high, leading to public discontent.

When Maximilian visited Bruges in 1488, the people decided to revolt. They were able to imprison their monarch for over four months in Bruges. Out of vengeance, Maximilian imposed a prohibition to organize festivities and fairs. To calm him down, the people of Bruges decided to organize a celebration to honour Maximilian. Afterwards they asked him for permission to build a new mental hospital. Maximilian advised them to simply close the gates of Bruges, because the town was already filled with fools.

Since that day the people of Bruges are known as 'the fools of Bruges' and this nickname is used several times in the town history.

I am. No choice about it, I'm at sea 😔 Had a couple of no alcohol beers, now off to bed early 😁
Happy New to everyone though 👍
I was led to believe that all sailors were drunk all of the time. Have I been misinformed? Don't you just drink rum and sail around finding chests full of treasure? Bumface isn't a fan of New Years Eve. It'll just be me and the dog at home tonight. There will be booze involved though. And some movies too. Just a word of warning here fellas. If anybody posts that awful U2 song on this thread they will have the bum faced lads to deal with. Enjoy your evening chaps.
