One thing I've learned over the years, and hammered home like a sledgehammer to a nail these past 5 or so years, is common sense is not really all that common.

What is a 'womble' in British slang?
A person, usually male, prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behavior while generally having a very high opinion of his own wisdom and importance.

This one's for beer drinkers. If you're shopping for beer take note of the 'date brewed' dates on the side/bottle of the can rather than the expiry dates for IPAs, especially for double/triple dry hopped IPAs. Hoppy beers degrade quickly and the flavour of the beer will change dramatically after 2+ months into an intense mangoey drink that bears little resemblance to its original flavour. This new flavour of old IPAs isn't exactly unpleasant but it makes beers that initially tasted very different now taste the same. For me the best hoppy IPAs are between 2 weeks and 4 weeks old. You'll often get hop burn if it's just been canned a few days prior.

You don't really need to check the dates for lagers, they stay good for a long time. Also imperial stouts generally get better as they age so I'd advise you to hold fire on drinking them after you've just bought it.

Finally, Guinness tastes better fresh. You'll often hear Irish people say that "the Guinness in this bar/pub is good" and they're normally right, even if they don't know the reason for it. It's pretty simple really, if you go to a place where Guinness is drunk by most of the patrons then they'll be getting through barrels more regularly than your average bar, and thus it tastes better because it's fresher.

You Brits love cricket.


T20 World Cup, Group A (Dallas)

Pakistan 159-7 (20 overs): Babar 44, Shadab 40; Kenjige 3-30

USA 159-7 (20 overs): Monank 50, Jones 36*

Match tied - USA won in a super over

An over is 6 plays. The format is t20 which means both teams bat for 20 overs each. Both teams finished on 159 runs so instead of just a 'tie' they each play one extra over and the team with the highest score in that over is the winner. Pakistan are a major cricketing nation and USA aren't, hence why it was a pretty remarkable result.

I've genuinely never eaten it. Beans should be an accompaniment and not the main part of a dish.

Aging stouts these days won't hurt, but for the most part won't change nearly as dramatically as say 10-15+ years ago.

A 2024 Bourbon County Stout that's not aged at all is going to taste far closer to a 2008 Bourbon County Stout aged 6 months than a fresh 2008 BCS.

If you have a big barrel stout that's 15%+ with no adjuncts, that's about the only time these days I'd consider aging... and even then, probably only after I've tried it once unless there's a bunch of reviews saying it's boozy right out of the bottle or something.

I think even some Prairie Artisan stouts and others will tell you on the bottle to drink it now... but those have so much sugar and other stuff in them, you probably wouldn't notice much of a change anyway.


I would really like to find the same IPA that was bottled a week or two prior and a month or two prior and do a side by side... I'd of course do this if I ever found them consistently freshly bottled and would just go back in a coiple months, but seems harder to find those here (granted, can't say I look all the time either).

The aging the stouts thing came from a conversation I had with the head brewer of Cloudwater. I simply asked him whether I should drink the imperial stouts I just bought (mixture of normal and BA impys) sooner or later and he said that the flavour will intensify over time and he would recommend aging it a bit further. I guess it's an each to their own thing, which is why I dedicated so little to it in my original post.

The changing of flavours in very hoppy IPAs is very noticeable. Me and my mate drank an incredible 2 week old DDH 7% IPA can and then had the exact same can a month later and it was so different and tasted nowhere near as good.

Should you ever decide to go to the other team, you would likely make a fortune as a gay escort. Just saying.

You’re starting to interest me, Womble. Tell me more about yourself…

That's why it's a SLANG term.

For Example: the word Fairy is a mythical creature but If I called you a fairy it means you're a pillow bitter.
