The Weekend Beer & Music Thread

[WeeGord]

Afternoon folks, hope it's been a good week for all. Three points against Watford last week were very welcome, especially after the disappointment of the Mackem game. Great performance and a well deserved three points plus the subsequent additions of both Dan Barlaser and Aaron Ramsay should hopefully help us stay very much in the play off picture at least for the rest of the season. Three points at home to Blackpool tomorrow would be a great way to cement ourselves in there.

Anyhoooo... It's the weekend or just about anyway, so get us started I can recommend a fantastic local porter if you're into that stuff. It's a very, very nice drink and on the rare occasion I see it on tap I always indulge in a pint. I give you the very lovely Ouseburn Porter.



As we're playing Blackpool tomorrow I thought I'd stick a track from The Cure on to get us underway given that Robert Smith was born there. For a double whammy, it's Friday and I'm in love (with Michael Carrick, but don't tell the Mrs!!!)

Happy weekend folks.

Finally back off the wagon so catching up with some Thornbridge beer club selections before a weekend in Halifax/Hebden

Meanwhile, this has just arrived on vinyl and will be getting a first spin shortly...

Hello, Goodevning and Welcome,

Sampling the delights of my latest beer 52 box, Manchester month. Due to losing one of the TV remote controls last night I found my self listening/ watching BBC radio Foyle and this came on

 

[Borotommo]

Son‘s birthday (20) this weekend, so we’re off to Cardiff to feed him And get him ***ed.
Quiet couple of Fransiskaner, tonight as I’m in a Weissbier mood.

Cardiff always makes me think of this

 

[guisborough_rob]

Still on the Guisbrew Daze as per last week, partner on Cleveland Way The Apple One Gin with a tonic; had some UFO on, gave Obsession a spin, then some singles on the jukebox culminating with Shoot Shoot.

Was accused of preaching on here a few days ago and I’m still fuming so have a bit of this:

 

[Subbuteo_171]

Portuguese red tonight, still not tried a beer or gin for 11 weeks - will brave it at some point.

20th anniversary of ( ) by Sigur Ros this week.

 

[On The Bob]

My first Friday beer of the year after January abstinence. On the Hazy Janes (Brew Dog) then a couple Bumbu Rums after.

Out early tomorrow for the match with the lads and having a few afterwards so taking it easy tonight!

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Listening to Frank Zappa - Imaginary Diseases. On a bit of a Zappa binge recently.
Drinking nothing. Got to be up early tomorrow + too much last night, managed to inadvertently drink a whole bottle of red wine

 

[Muttley]

Was given a couple of bottles of Hobgoblin for my birthday last week so that.

And this is for anyone with struggles of any sort...

Paula Cole is the lady singing the duet with Peter Gabriel (originally Kate Bush on the album) and for me this is better, real hairs on the back of the neck stuff.

 

[bumface]

Happy Friday boys and girls. Hope that you all have a pleasant weekend.

I'm listening to The High Water Marks at the moment.

 

[Redinburgh]

No beer tonight, on the cough medicine instead.

A bit of Sid Griffin on the music front

 

[afcb_acklam]

[Borotommo]

Oh, by the way. This’ll get the pimples standing on the end of your goosebumps

I had no idea Robert Smith was born in Blackpool

But in the same vein I’ll put forward this one which is an old 80’s track from another Blackpool artist

I’ll stick to drinking Malbec

I'm another one who had no idea that Robert Smith was born in Blackpool. I'm a big fan of The Cure, so I should've known that. I feel embarrassed now.
