@FPL_Fly
Eurostar and Airbnb in Paris, Flights to Barcelona, shipping from Libya, travelling around London and all the beers - about 500 quid all in :/ but I got two holidays out of it so could be worse!
@alexccfc99
Put out a "help me get a Saudi beer tweet" got retweeted by a guy with 50k followers,
@TAbugharsa
in Libya saw it, said he gets Saudi beer all the time and that he could DHL some bottles over. Like the hero he is, he only went and bloody did it. My hero.
Can't believe that one of the breweries I chose for the world cup has sent me some beer. Big up to
@coopersbrewery
for sending over some of their sparkling ale and pale ale, will be cracking into these and cheering on the socceroos today. Cheers mate 🍻
Did I leave to fly to New Zealand before the end of groups G and H. Yes.
Did I bring all the yet to be eliminated beers with me? Yes.
Is this the face of a guy that got very little sleep on the flights? Yes.
Does this taste of Luis Suarez's tears? Ohhhhhhh yes
Cheers! 🍻🇺🇾
Few hours late but Canada were eliminated earlier so I'm allowed to drink an actual beer and it's a bottle from
@MooseheadLager
. It's cold, it's fizzy, it's 5% and perfectly drinkable. What more do you want? Cheers! 🍻🇨🇦
Qatar getting knocked out first is just perfect for this world cup. This can of Fizzin is pretty good for a non-alc malt bev, just tastes like a melon fizzy drink. I don't want to know how much sugar is in it. Cheers! 🍻🇶🇦
Absolutely insane world cup final, was totally worth the 4am start in New Zealand! France are the final country to be losers so it's time to say au revoir and drink a can of numbers (actually brewed in France, not the UK brewed stuff) so yeah, santé! 🍻🇫🇷
@dantracey1983
Oh don't get me started on those Bier Chancers. Ha I definitely don't have the space for 72 bottles! I'm drinking each beer when that country gets knocked out instead.
As if I'm having to drink this already. Belgium are ranked
#2
in the world and they're out in the group stage. Unbelievable. This is the strongest beer of the lot but it doesn't taste like 9% at all. Lovely drop and I've got the glass like a full kit wanker. Cheers! 🍻🇧🇪
As an England fan I am very happy to be drinking this bottle of La Gazelle from Senegal. Still can't believe this was one of the hardest beers to get but ah well. The beer itself? Yeah it's fine, pretty inoffensive lager. Cheers! 🍻🇸🇳
Going from the smallest beer to the biggest beer, this is a litre can of Faxe and it's fucking massive. Denmark were rubbish and deserved to get knocked out but this is pretty nice lager so no complaints from me on this one. Cheers! 🍻🇩🇰
That can of Feldschlossen ain't from Switzerland, lads
And I imagine most if not all of the Birra Moretti, Tyskie, Staropramen, Carlsberg, Heineken, Kronenbourg and Stella were brewed in England or Scotland
Tunisia are out so it's time for the smallest beer of the lot - a 250ml bottle of Celtia. This really isn't a good lager so I'm pretty glad I don't have much of it to drink. Cheers! 🍻🇹🇳
Ecuador are out so it's time for what is apparently the most popular beer in the country,
@PilsenerEcuador
. It's a bit malty and a bit syrupy and pretty decent on the whole. Cheers! 🍻🇪🇨
Portugal got dumped out by the resilient Moroccans so it's time for this excellent bottle of Super Bock. Ronaldo walking down the tunnel and bawling his eyes out really was great to see. Cheers! 🍻🇵🇹
After sending off the visa application in February, Kimberley Robertson has finally had her visa approved and will be arriving in the UK on August 26th! 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats to Argentina and Lionel Messi! I drank this bottle of Quilmes live on the back of the net podcast with
@arnettwill
@sammymewy
and
@MoneyLynch
which was the best way to round off this crazy month. I'll get xmas out of the way first and then embrace sobriety. Cheers! 🍻🇦🇷
@Anujbost
I've bought Mahou, Estrella Damm, Estrella Galicia, Cruzcampo and Alhambra for previous tournaments. Amstel and San Miguel don't count as they are from Netherlands and Phillip ones respectively. Wanted to go for something different this year.
So I chose Estrella Galicia for this silly beer thing and then the beer started trending in Spain so of course a Galician newspaper asked me about it. Twitter is nuts sometimes. Shout out to
@xabisanmartinc
This one from
@GlamBrewingCo
goes out to all the Welsh people I know. Would have been great to see you make it through to the second round but it wasn't to be. Nice craft lager here in honour of Gareth, lloniannau! 🍻🏴
Mexico got knocked out so I got stuck into this Modelo. You've all had it before so you know it's a lovely little lager. Should there be a slice of lime with it? Not sure, but I don't have any line in the flat anyway so it doesn't matter. Cheers! 🍻🇲🇽
Was a shame to see Japan get knocked out by Croatia on penalties, but their spot kicks in the shootout were awful so can't really complain. This is a red rice ale by Hitachino and it's pretty good. Cheers! 🍻🇯🇵
Iran got knocked out last night which means I have to deal with this non-alc malt beverage and I'm really not enjoying drinking this at all. It's got a kind of mild vinegar taste to it which makes sense but now I'm wishing I'd got a flavoured Istak instead. Cheers! 🍻🇮🇷
As England prepare to kick-off their World Cup campaign today, a Cheltenham Town fan has gone viral for creating a 'beers of the world cup' list.
Gus Hully has a beer from every country competing and will join
@cummingsradio
from 7 this morning.
And here we go with the bottle of Casablanca from Morocco. Fair play to them for getting as far as they did, I thought I'd be drinking this much earlier! Anyway, this lager is perfectly fine but nothing special. Cheers! 🍻🇲🇦
Just went on Back Of The Net podcast hosted by the
@arnettwill
, superbowl winner
@MoneyLynch
and world cup winner
@sammymewy
and all I can say is fucking hellllllllllll
They're coming thick and fast now and again, I cannot believe I'm drinking this so early but I fucking love that I am. Absolute scenes. Once again I've gone full kit wanker with the Spaten glass and once again it's a lovely beer. Prost! 🍻🇩🇪
Knockout round beers are go go go! USA got dumped out by the Dutch so its time to live the high life with the Champagne of Beers. Considering all the shit I got for this, it's...fine enough? Plus it's a bloody Tall Boy! USA! USA! USA! Cheers! 🍻🇺🇸
"I would love to do what you did but honestly I don't want to put in the work of sourcing the bottles" is a ridiculous line, fair play to him for being so honest I suppose
Costa Rica got knocked out so it's time for this bottle of Imperial and like the Pilsener from Ecuador, it's got a real syrupy taste to it which isn't great but it's awful so yeah, cheers! 🍻🇨🇷
I got a fair bit of grief for choosing
@Bavaria
for the Netherlands beer but I've had some good times drinking €4 pints of it at
@the_waterhole
so it's all good with me. Shame to see the Dutch out but this is a nice euro lager. Proost! 🍻🇳🇱
This bottle of
@Chale_Club
goes out to everybody in Ghana who was on board with me getting this massive bottle of Club. This decent lager is going down very nicely. Cheers! 🍻🇬🇭
Saudi Arabia also got knocked out so it's time for the non-alcoholic Hillsburg Honey which is easily the flattest drink I've ever had. Honestly, it was flatter than water. At least it had the sweet honey flavour which made it half decent. Cheers! 🍻🇸🇦
The favourites are out! Kinda wish I'd woken up at 4am to watch it but ah well. Expected this to taste of samba and sunshine, instead it tasted of cat revenge and Neymar's tears. Cheers! 🍻
Probably should have done this when it actually happened but oh well. Got married and then had the reception in a brewery. Very on brand, i'm sure you'll agree. Happy Valentine's Day, Bosh x
When
@1936biere
got in touch to say they'd send a few cans as thanks, i was expecting a few cans. But then a massive package turned up and yes that's a 3 litre bottle of beer that probably weighs more than me!
I never do this for free stuff so it's amazing whenever it happens ❤️
Little update on trying to drink a beer from every country! Managed to have lagers from North Korea 🇰🇵 and Seychelles 🇸🇨, a stout from Palau 🇵🇼 and a hard ginger beer from Tonga 🇹🇴 which has brought my totals up to 183 on Untappd, 190 on Ratebeer and 191 overall 🤘
