When beer has filled you up...
When the night has gone well, and you've had your fill of beer. Your having a night off the Port, so what do you have a few glasses of to end the night?
One of my favourites is
The silky, sweet thickness with a few blocks of ice...Heaven.

a teenage version of a real drink
I usually assume that these things are a teenager’s version of a real drink. Is that just prejudice, or is it actually a better quality drink than, say, a Bowmore, which is a great post-beer refreshment.

Whisky should always be cut down to 30%.
Whisky should always be cut down to 30%. Cask-strength (60%) straight sterilises the tongue; bottle-strenght (40%) almost does so. Add water to take to 30%, or even 25%.
Dark Star Brewing Company’s 3.8% Hophead? Brewed about two miles from my father’s house.

OK - I'm Scottish, so I can tell you some truths about this subject.
1. Glayva (and Drambuie) is only consumed by women and tourists, mainly Americans with tartan (plaid) trousers on
2. Cask strength whisky can be drunk and enjoyed undiluted provided it is of the highest quality. Spend a few hours at the Malt Whisky Society in a Single Cask tasting in Queen Street, Edinburgh if you don't believe me
3. Anyone who puts lemonade in whisky should be shot
4. Alan should drink Lagavulin - it's 1% whisky, 99% peat, 100% gorgeous
5. KillerB has no sense of rythm
6. I don't drink whisky (very often)
