The other grocery store near me had gotten one of my favorite micro breweries in Finland a whole display of their own. Bought two different kinds (only one’s I haven’t had before), now will just have to wait almost two more weeks to sample them. At least they will be cold on February 5th, having been in the fridge for a fortnight.

    Which brewery and which beers? I have only had a few Finnish beers from Pyynikin when in Helsinki but they were tasty.

      Am absolutely plastered.

      Large bottles of Peroni and orange gin ftw!

        Damo I’m dancing like there’s nobody watching, loving like I’ve never been hurt.

        I’m singing like there’s nobody listening and living like it’s heaven on earth!

        Tbf to Sean I think he can kitchen sink it up with the best of us.

        More than welcome at the afters!

          If I can attain the status required, I genuinely look forward to an afters with the jc brethren. Preferably apres 6 hours of uncle John.

          Imagine a cheeky half with millsy whilst he opened up on how he cheated the upvote system. Bravado, then tears, then hugs. What a night!

          C_J Pyynikki is alright, but nothing special. Local microbrewery Kakola is great, and these were Coolhead from Tuusula. Two different kind of sours (which means they are also safe from my wife). A ginger sour and a nordic sour with oak smoked wheat malt & kaffir lime leafs.

            Got Dubber’s first bottle of whisky written all over it

            11 days later

            First drink in 5 weeks tomorrow. Will report back.

            Will probably start with chugging a whole small beer like a jock in a bad American college comedy. I just need a varsity jacket.

              …Hannu, all this talk of liquor, reminded me I’m yet to try LIQUORICE PIPES. Can you send some over please?

              Do you like Salmiakki. I tried it a few years ago. It wasn’t nice at all. It had a very strong ammonia taste.

                Had a fantastic session last night on decks. Just under 5 hours. Listening to the recording now, and it sounds great. Had three whiskys and 4 pints.

                Not sure what it tells about me as a DJ that I need doping.

                  Shows your skillz that you can still perform 👍

                  Are you heading out on your bike to listen to it?

                      Mad_Cyril sitting on the couch and day drinking while the wife is working at the horse stables. I did do the laundry and vacuum the whole house in the morning so I’ve earned it.

                        Had a moment last night where I nearly folded, swerved it though and had a cuppa instead.

                        Amps, you know it’s February now, right?

                          Old-Dutch Yeah! 😆 I’m going for a bit longer than the one month. Need to shed a few pounds etc.

                            i think i’ve had one drink in the last two months, i have no urge for it until patio season now. it’s amazing how much easier it is to keep the weight down without drinking useless calories and the eating that goes along with it.

                            Still going strong on the no weed front. Some days I really want to, but I try to do something to keep my mind busy instead. Gonna try to make sure I don’t get back into a daily habit. A few times a week would be ok, but I also want to just ride this wave as long as possible before I think about bringing it back in. Or, you know, if I can actually go have a good time somewhere, then all bets are off lol.
