Top tip👍. Let's just hope the brewer never reads this😀 I do love the ESB though so you never know I may like 1845.Tried to experiment a bit and found a firm called Flavourly who delivered a mixed box of craft cans- nothing ventured I thought. Had to buy a bottle of 7UP to make shandy with most them, it was either that or down the drain. I don't have a car and don't want to be on the Tube or the Bus at present so want places that deliver.

From my big trial order, I am not keen on the Frontier larger, but it mixes well with the Porter, so it will get drunk eventually. The ESB is my favourite, so I got 16 bottles of that. Quite a few seem to have disappeared already. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those brussel sprouts must have thrown your sense of taste off balance😀 Edited May 16, 2020 by Lemondropkid 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat like Babycham but better(well I thought it was).My mum & dad both worked where they made it in Rickmansworth & I did a stint there during school holidays. Everyone's bag was clanking when they left the factory & we had a mountain of bottles in the cupboard under the stairs.My parents used to have Moussec parties. Moussec & brandy was a very nice drink,as was Moussec straight from the vat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
