Abysythe .........

 

After that stirring point against the strongest side in all the divisions, I think I'll leave the Landlord alone and go lie down in a dark room for a while... Save the good stuff for a better occasion. Perhaps some Golden Pheasant or Zywiec instead.

Now that would be nice...but as far as I know, McClelland are an importer/wholesaler, and not a retailer to the general public.

What one can do is order directly from the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario), and get your stuff shipped to a store of your choice, or even your home. This will work for in-stock items, but you can also order just about anything produced anywhere, provided that (i) you can give Elsie the appropriate information about the producer, and (ii) you order by the case. This is geared more, I suppose, towards wine and spirits, but I'd think beer would be possible. I just wonder how they define a 'case' of beer? 24, most likely.

13 left... Must see if any other outlet in the region has some.

Perhaps the innkeeper was from Yorkshire!

Zywiec and Steigl at the ready today; the Landlord must be rationed...

RCB

 

Well, if you have a spare bottle or two of the APA, I'll join you

The Landlord continues to be rationed, though I do have a bottle at the ready in case of a win. Otherwise, some Austrian Ottakringer or local Boneshaker IPA.

A nice bottle of Portuguese red. Altano Douro. Killing the chest infection rather than me, hopefully.

 

A nice Stewart IPA

 

@bantam65 - channeling your inner Fordy eh?

 

Sorry

 

Big match today...RCB vs. Canada. Canada has the early lead, but dogged determination will see RCB enjoy a stirring come-from-behind victory. That and glasses of revivifying cognac as needed, and perhaps a Landlord to celebrate when the match has been won.

In other words, they forecast a major winter storm overnight, and Canada delivered. Arose this morning to roughly 2 feet of snow at the house end of my driveway, 1-1.5 feet at the pavement end, with more coming down. And it is a double-wide driveway, triple-wide at the pavement end, fitting 5 cars at minimum. (Previous owners used the house as their business address.) There is a car-shaped mound where my car used to be...

One session done, another two, perhaps three, to go. I shall be exceedingly rude to anyone who makes comments about the beauty of a snow-covered landscape, or winter wonderlands, or the like!

You can be rude to me if want. 2 weeks ago we got about 7" here, lasted 2 days and you'd have thought Armageddon was here. Fast forward to yesterday, repeat forecast but so far only an inch or so. Looks like we dodged one.
I think normal season average for snow down here is about 4". Don't envy you up there at all.

 

And over here in Estonia, it's -15 one day, and +3 the next. You can only imagine what that leaves the state of the pavements. Ice skates are needed, not boots! Last week, 68% of all hospital admissions in Tallinn were due to people falling on the ice. It's a much safer to just stay at home and sit it out (with a few beers)!

 

Hope you do well with it Mrs. Allotment.

 

No argument. Both good, particularly Highland Park.

 

Anything from Islay for me, except Bowmore which I find oily. Got Bunnahabain, Caol Ila and two Laphroaigs on the go at the moment.
