Sorry I missed the chat. I will try and make it next time, with beer in hand.

A couple of breweries near me have sold some limited beers inspired by the pandemic. An Oakland brewery had a limited release called "Stay the F*** Home". Another brewery produced this, which I tried tonight:
Overall, a pretty decent IPA. It is now sold out, so I don't know that I will be able to get any more.
Anyone else seen/heard any drinks where you are tying into current events?

Oh yes, I'll host a new one in a week or two. Meanwhile, let's just keep our "Cheers" business running as usual, with normal posts about weekend activities and alcoholic beverages. I don't want this Zoom-meeting business to lose our Jim Phelpses and Michael Scorefans and Thomases and paulhicklings and Kev McGs and Last Childs and whoever is a regular here, and not necessarily hot on video conferences.
Yes, yes and yes! Where are those camera-shy creeps? C'mon - what's your poison? Jim Phelps is on one of his sabbaticals, but let's hear more from Mike Scorefan, Thomas, Pauline Pickles, Kev McG, Last Child etc.
My friend Andrew Fulton is the head of Orkney Brewery. Its beers are splendid and are shipping out. New ones are appearing all the time. I'm proud to be Andrew's lifelong friend, and proud to have helped stir the brew myself back in about 1990 or something. Do you know the Orney Brewery? I would post a link but I am in my spaceship and thus do not have my cutter and paster system operative.

I finished a bottle of that off myself last week Kev. (Happy birthday!) I thought it was far too sweet on the first sip, but it wasn't long before we found our stride

Yes, thanks for the Friday meet, guys. I got extremely sick after I hung up, and I've been in poor shape ever since. Now I need a week to detox. Don't know if there will be one next Friday; let's not overdo these. Plus, there's always Stephen's meetings. As I've said before, I prefer these small 'pub' gatherings with just a handful of people. So -- I'll do the same next time, whenever that is, i.e. post a link the day before.
Michael, I'm not aware of any beer that has taken our current situation into their branding (outside the Corona beer, obviously, which unwittingly became an unfortunate 'victim' of this whole thing). That's quick and creative thinking on their part!
Belated happy birthday to Kev!

Take care of yourself, Thor. Remember to hydrate while drinking. It makes all the difference in the world.
Coconut water before bed works wonders.
