Personally, I have never witnessed anyone drinking pale ale at the bash.
The following should only be used for guidance though:
Cider, lots and lots of cider, some bought from shops, some not.
Port, occasionally mistaken for red wine which has lead to a lie in for a particular regular.
Whiskey Mac, has led to a lie in for a few members.
Cleary juice, has led to a lie in for most members, even the Cleary clan.
Beer, a bit tame, but yes it's preferable to tea.
Red wine, some at half a euro a litre but generally better. Early on anyway.
Baileys, usually keeps Mrs Unframed quiet and out of trouble.
This time around I will be making caipirinhas on Friday or Saturday night, just by way of a change. I like them heavy on the lime, oh and the cachaça.
