Tonight’s pre-dinner aperitif:

Three fat fingers of Żubrówka from the freezer, a teaspoon of Jack’s Red Hot and a desert spoon of Lea & Perrins with celery salt in a pint glass of tomato juice.

Celebrating a quiet night on my own with a cup of camomille tea, and actually doing some work.

Might even have a cheeky biscuit in a minute, you never know, they don't call me rock n roll rosey for nothing.

Should I be worried

German beer has long been a significant influence in China’s “Beer Chronicles”, and even today is still a significant player. The best evidence that German beer has always been well received in distant Asia is provided by Tsingtao Beer. German beer in China?! To understand this, we have to go in time, back to 1903, to be precise. It was in this year that the German colonial rulers settled, for strategic reasons, in the coastal region of Kiautschou. And where there are Germans, then as we all know, beer can’t be very far away. So they founded the “Germania Brewery”, where they brewed their beers in accordance with the German Purity Law. Following the triumph of the Japanese over the Germans, up to the resettlement of the area by the Chinese population, the brewery merrily continued producing its beer, under the name of “Tsingtao”, which is still being used today. It would in fact seem that the Chinese citizens have come to like this souvenir of the German colonialists almost as much as they relish their absence.

Today's drink is from Germany: Moosbacher Schwarze Weisse. A dark wheat beer. Pours a dark coffee color and a thick head that dissipated slowly. Alcohol content 5.0%. Tastes of banana, caramel, chocolate, and coffee. There is a slight aftertaste. Very good overall.

How sad is this?

But never mind as we went to Costco and I was allowed a 70cl bottle of Jim Beam ‘Double Oak’ £16.49 with two branded glasses.
