Lidl currently have Faxe 10% “trucker lager”, and also a lighter 5% brew that’s more of a breakfast drink. Both are 1000ml cans.

I’m halfway through the 10%. I can’t feel my face any more.

Christ alive

On behalf of my country: you're welcome.

Nice, I'll have a run at that on Sunday

That’s brilliant. The acceptable face of Special Brew.

I would say thank you but I cna;t tlak anymor

The most expensive part(s) of the SMART repair. I expect they'll be recycled on it somewhere.

It's funny you should mention that ! It's not happened yet but I picked up the empty can a moment ago and noticed it was quite heavy. It's steel, and seemingly a decent thickness. It'll be worth keeping some in the garage. For "repairs".

Get on Discord you coward.

*necks wine from the bottle*

Good god no. I think I remember the last two times

One of them I had to have a little lie down on the kitchen floor for a while.

The other, IIRC, you disappeared for a worryingly long time and I genuinely thought you might be in peril.

Spreading joy (and in @Sundayjumper's case facial numbness)?

Faxe sake.

Another Danish gift to the Brits.

Faxe sake.

I just Googled to check the ABV of Special Brew - it's a frankly amateur 7.5%* - and found the Sainsbury's listing with the following tasting notes as if it's a fine wine and not just rocket fuel for teenagers to get f**ked up on:

Serving suggestion: A full-bodied strong lager, with a rich malty flavour and a subtle hint of cognac... best served shared...enjoy with mature and blue cheese.

* Edit: the reviews make clear it used to be 9%, and has been slowly emasculated.

Yeah, I've always enjoyed that subtle hint of cognac. For the first half can at least.

Bitch please. I likely just had to go have a little lie down myself

It used to be more than 7.5% but the UK Duty rules brought it down.

It used to be like treacle but now you need to pay up for micro brewery 10% treacle at £6 a half for that nonsense lol

I’ll grab some of that. I used to drink the 5% one at uni.

This was also a regular purchase in Amsterdam. Tasted decent too.
