If you think Zoom chats are passé, you should see the state of message boards...they've gone to penalties!

(by the way, cool photo, Nicolai, forgot to say that!).


No need to. wink

In any case, I'll try to be there at the next (and possibly last for whatever reason, but yeah, as you said, theoretically anyone could continue... theoretically....) Cheers.

Cool!

It will be the last with me as host & organizer, anyway. There are murmurs in the background about regular Cheers participant FalkirkBairn taking over the reigns after that, outside the realms of this thread. We'll have to see. Zoom chats was a very pandemic thing, anyway (as you say), and it's already on overtime now.


Looking forward to another Cheers discussion. Zoom chats are on overtime for situations where it is easy for the group to get together in person. For situations like this, where participants are in different countries and there really isn't a cheap alternative for engaging otherwise, it is still a great option. Writes the guy who is still posting on a message board. wink

Wow, no new post in this thread since August.

Gearing up for a socalled "julebord" (literally translated as "Christmas table") in a couple of hours, a Norwegian Christmas party tradition. About 8 of us, meeting at a restaurant downtown. This will, in fact, be my only julebord this season. I usually have two or three.

Had a couple of beers, incluing this one - which is an excellent X-mas IPA by the Norwegian micro brewery 7-Fjell ("7 Mountains"), an ode to the Christmas classic DIE HARD. No idea if it's available abroad:

He's probably far too hungover after last night's Julebord festivities to answer Jimwink

Damn straight, Thomas. Rough day today.

Jim, hopefully after New Year’s.

The Hans Gruber would be fun to try sometime. Last night, I had a couple of these, which is a great IPA from a local microbrewery:

Every year, I go to Newport, Rhode Island. There they have a lovely APA, Whaler's Rise; it's the only beer I drink when in New England, such is its magnificence. It is available on draught in several bars and restaurants. However, Whaler's Rise is seemingly not available outside of New England, so I invariably bring a six-pack or two back to Sad Old Florida, where I attempt to stretch out my haul of Whaler's until my next trip to New England.

This week I won't make it, I'm in Austria, without a PC or MAC. So ideal if you want to proceed without me crashing the party.

Thanks for the recommend. I will be sure to give it a try if I am ever in the area.

Somehow, during wintertime, I drink more wine than beer. Exceptions being trappiste beers and certain IPAs. But even that is dialed down due to the insane rise in prices these last few years. This weekend, for example, it was all white and red wine. But thanks for that APA recommendation, Jim. I think I've seen it in one of the bigger wine monopolies over here.

Let me know if you find it, as it would be especially galling that this ambrosia is inexplicably available to you in Norway, but not in its own country of origin outside of New England.

P.S. Check your Celluloid Tunes email.

I follow a wine recommendation column in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. This South African wine was recommended there, it was within my price range (roughly $20 in normal currency mode):



This thread is mostly about beers and cocktail drinks (as well as weekend activities), but I assume wine is enjoyed too.
