A new place in Nailsworth to buy nice beer!
Posted on | July 20, 2010 | No Comments
In October 2009, chain off licence Threshers went into administration and closed all stores over the UK. Thankfully, a few months ago, new off licence business ‘Nailsworth Wines and Spirits‘ opened up to fill the gap, taking over the old Threshers premises on Market Street, Nailsworth.
Nailsworth Wines & Spirits has since seemed to do very well since opening, and rightly so since they stock a massive range of rare, local, and organic beers and ciders. They also stock a wines suiting every pocket, plus a good range of spirits. A favourite of the locals are the local ciders which are sold by the container straight out of the barrel, meaning you can roughly get about 10 pints of local quality cider for about 50p a pint!
Another thing, Nailsworth Wines & Spirits have kept on some of the original staff members from the old Threshers store, who are always friendly and up for a chuckle.
Just wanted to pass my best wishes on to the off licence, it’s good to see small retailers doing well around the local area. I was getting very tired of having to buy alcohol from the local supermarkets where it is usually the same old stuff, and sometimes quite expensive.

Homebrew beer #1 : Morgan’s Stockmans Draught
Posted on | September 12, 2009 | No Comments
Morgan’s Stockmans Draught is the kit I used for my first ever homebrew beer. I added 1kg of brewing sugar, and used the lager yeast supplied with the kit.
I left the beer to ferment for 14 days – this was not intentional, ideally I would have bottled it earlier. When being bottled into plastic 750ml bottles, I added brewing sugar to prime, and the fizz of the beer is just right.
I tried the beer 14 days after being bottled, and it tasted great. Slightly thin in body, refreshing and nutty in taste, Stockman’s Draught is much more of a flavoursome lager than than most commerical lagers, almost 30% ale and 70% lager tasting.
I am now leaving the bottles to mature, after which I will jot down my full tasting notes.

This morning I was feeling a little worse for wear after a heavy night on the booze. I went to the local shop to buy the Sunday papers, and saw some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups which I just had to buy.
On returning home, a toast and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups marriage was made.
Kentucky GRILLED Chicken comes to the US

Man I love KFC chicken… I probably have it twice or so a year, and even then it feels like that’s too much for my arteries. So to my delight, KFC have thought about putting on some healthier options and have unveiled Kentucky Grilled Chicken in the US.
Check out the KGC here
As you will see from the website, the calorie, fat, and salt content is massively reduced to KFC’s fried chicken.
Really want this in the UK!
