Sounds like a good cup of coffee. I appreciate the durability and quality of Victorinox knives :thumbup:

Delicious. Super citrus. For being a 10%er, there's no heat. Fantastic brew. Thank you, StoneBeard!

Glad you enjoyed it:thumbup: they have been putting out some very drinkable big IPA's recently that I've liked a lot.

^^^^ Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see
Sometimes your [brews] just hypnotize me...

Haha, there's actually a stamp on the bottom of that can with the date and " can't you see ". They had another juicy IPA that was stamped " juice cleanse", both made me laugh.

A little R&R for my helper and me after finishing a big cleanup in the garage.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend. Cheers!

I'd bet that mule with the addition of the spicy Rye whiskey is outstanding. I've made a lot of mules and drank a good bit of Rye whiskey, just not the two together. It's officially on deck for the next time I enjoy a drink. How's that Micarta #14 treating you? Believe it or not, I actually traded my absolute favorite traditional the Micarta #77 spear but that's another story....

....

It is. Got it from a vendor in Canberra, which only selling Arabica from Africa to Australia. Most of their coffee are come from fairtrade.
So it is drinking with reasons.
Been working in the field for conservations, helped other scientists on their research on "environmental friendly" coffee plantation. Arabica is my choice, lesser evil.

How on earth did I fall so far behind with this thread??!!

Great pictures, Jack and Chin! Looks like you gents had the time of the century. Well done indeed !!

Jack and Chin, sounds like you had a grand time and some good pints and eats. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks gents, it was great to meet up with Chin, and I think we saw a fair bit of Sheffield :thumbup:

Jack, I thought it would be fitting that at least one of my new Sheffield treasures should have the faint tang of the scent of 'the Black Stuff' adhering to it, when I get back home!

Definitely mate! Thanks for the great pics :thumbup:

Must 've been a few pints already, he's drinking the Worcestershire sauce! LOL Lots of great pictures, thank you! :thumbup:

Nice one JP! But that's the famous Henderson's Relish, a tastier beverage than Worcestershire IMO. LOL!

Bloody cheek! :grumpy: There was a serious political incident here some years ago when similar comments were made in the British Parliament!

MP disses Henderson's Relish and incurs the wrath of Sheffield
Jim Dowd [Member of Parliament] made to eat his words after accusing the Steel City's most famous condiment of plagiarism

It is, one of the Arctic Monkeys once said, “like Worcestershire Sauce but a million times better”. The band are said to miss it so much they have it shipped to them when they are touring.

KT Tunstall says it's the best non-alcoholic liquid on the face of the earth.

Yet despite its 100-year heritage, one Labour MP embarrassed himself this week by admitting in the houses of parliament (of all places) that not only had he never heard of Henderson's Relish but that it was a copy of its Worcestershire rival.

Jim Dowd (Lewisham West and Penge) quickly learned that you can be as rude as you like about Sheffield's rubbish football teams, but diss the city's most famous sauce and you'll have Nick Clegg to answer to.

Dowd made his ill judged comments during a debate on intellectual property in the Commons on Monday, where he accused Henderson's of "parasitic packaging”.

Within hours he had received an open letter from the deputy prime minister.

Clegg told him: "Henderson’s Relish has been made in Sheffield for over 100 years and is a much loved local institution. Its aroma and flavor are unique. It is used by thousands of Sheffielders and, as Henderson’s appeal grows, many more people throughout the country and indeed around the globe.

"Given the history behind Henderson’s Relish, I hope you can appreciate that Sheffielders are fiercely proud of it. We are confident it would win in any blind taste test, whether at a pub in Blackheath or anywhere else."

Now he has been invited to eat his words over a meal with fellow Labour MP, Paul Blomfield. "This weekend when I’m back in Sheffield I’ll buy a bottle to bring down to Parliament so I can show why it’s so loved. Let’s go for a meal in Parliament, pick any food you like, because Henderson’s Relish goes with everything (but I’d recommend pie and peas)," he said in an open letter posted to facebook.

“It tastes different, has different ingredients, and well to be frank ....it’s better!" he added.

Dowd has accepted the invitation, the Guardian understands, with a source close to him admitting the MP realised he'd made “something of a blunder”.

Meanwhile, at Hendo's HQ in Sheffield, managing director Simon Freeman, said he was “saddened” by Dowd's comments.

He told the Sheffield Star: “I don’t know how a bottle ended up in a pub in London. I’m ordering an internal investigation to find out how it got out of Yorkshire!”

The comedian Tom Wrigglesworth said of Henderson's Relish that while 'outsiders' think the condiment is Sheffield's answer to Worcestershire sauce, Sheffielders think it is the answer to everything!

Looks like a great day out my friend :thumbup:

Chin and Jack, that is great stuff:thumbup: Looks as if you gentlemen had a good time. I really enjoyed the historical piece on Old Queen's Head. Thanks for the link.

It was a grand couple of days That's a tasty-looking beverage, and certainly a tasty pic of your fine Lambsfoot :thumbup:

And another great-looking Lambsfoot :thumbup:

Great-looking brews and Beer Scouts :thumbup:
