On the Bottle

I'm a lot less enthusiastic about bottled beer than I used to be.  My pantry forever had a revolving range of beers which I'd drink alone or with friends.

These days, mostly bottled beer feels just a little too fizzy.  Also, since I go to pubs far more often than I used to, I guess I just get my beer fix in the place it was intended to be drunk.

Nevertheless, with a busy weekend ahead,  a houseguest we don't know very well at all, and the prospect of not have much opportunity to got the pub  I thought it would be as well to augment the supply of wine with some bottled beer and some cider (there's also plenty of water, juice, ginger beer and tonic water, I hasten to add).

It was really hard to choose.  Ocado had a phenomenal range of old favourites and beers I've never heard of.  How the hell do you choose?

Well, I stuck to beers I know and love in their draught form, from breweries I can hopefully trust not to screw things up too badly in the bottling process.  So I've got Betty Stoggs, Citra (Oakham's version) and TEA.  Cheers!
