£25 minimum order, and not sure the wife would be OK with doing a load of online shipping just to get a beer.

Still going to happen sometime! Still haven't found kokiri's beer. Kokiri - do you have an alternative?

Errr, fruli? Leffe Brun? I've not got a huge beer range.

Right, it's becoming evident that I'm not going to find the time to do these all in an evening.

So, instead, I'm going to start drinking them one or two an evening over the next week or so. While this lowers the amount of drunken nonsense, it might increase my actual enjoyment of the beer and lead to less WALRUS INTEGRITY risks.

Out tonight, but will probably start on these Wednesday, and pick up some Leffe as kokiri's choice (Fruli is vile, and I haven't actually drunk Leffe in years). Going to refrigerate all but the 49er and Leffe - speak now if you think I'm not doing the right temperature for yours.

Personally I much prefer legs cold but do as you will. Also, I drink legs brun, but you could pick up a bottle of one of the new ones (honey or, err, pistachio?) and tell me if they're worth tackling.

If someone submitted Fruli that person definitely didn't want you to enjoy the beer.

You could always split the drinking over two evenings, so we get two evenings of drunken nonsense and you can enjoy the beer, kinda

Picked up a Leffe Brune today. Can't remember last time I had it. Or if I've ever had it.

I haven't had one since uni. I remember it tasting intensely dry.

Currently drinking Dia De Los Muertos pale ale. It's mediocre but I liked the label.

Incidentally (tangent ahoy), concluded recently that of the standardly available IPAs in the UK, Brewdog Punk IPA really is sodding good. Kinda forget how good it is given that it's everywhere, but went back to it after a while drinking Sierra Nevada and Meantime and whatever, and it really is a cut above the other 'standards'.

Punk IPA is a solid staple IPA, it's one the Swedish monopoly always has and I drink fairly regularly. I wouldn't say it's better than Sierra, though the thing with IPAs is that freshness matter and being a Brit your Punks might be more freshly brewed.

I also picked up a Brewdog Electric India today. I'm kind of in this period where I buy a lot more beer than I drink, I really need to go to work on the ones I have.

Currently drinking "The Ridge" pale ale by Harviston Brewery, Alva, Scotland. £1.60 @ Sainsbury's. Not bad.

I had a Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA and a Struise Ignis et Flamma today. Both really good.

It seems I bought another two British beers yesterday, BBNo. Saison Citra and a Beavertown Quelle Saison. I don't know how I keep walking into the liquor store and come out with saisons but apparently it's happening.

OK, so I'm going to at least make a start on this tonight. Expecting to crack the first beer around 15:30 server time. Will be video reveals (posted on Youtube), plus increasingly nonsensical posts on here.

Probably going to go with the following order:

49er
Waen Landmark
Jever Pilsner
American Dream
Sierra Nevada Torpedo
Leffe Brun

BONUS WALRUS

Suggest a song to listen to while drinking all this beer! This won't count towards the main walrus, it's a side event, so anyone can enter whether or not they're in the beer walrus. Will start listening once I'm a couple of beers in.
