If the question is did you score anything, I'll say ... maybe :D

This use of the verb "score": What does it mean, in this context?

In British English, the verb to "score" is usually used in the context of scoring a goal in a football match.

And, it has also been known to appear in (triumphant male) slang to describe a successful sexual conquest.

In this context, I'd say it's happening across something nice by total surprise.

"I was out wandering around the flea market, and you won't believe what I ended up scoring!"
Happening across?

Not buying or selling something?

Okay; thanks - I was unsure of the meaning, and, although I have seen it written, didn't quite understand what was meant by this term.

My usage is pretty common, and pretty prolific in heist/true detective type books and films, one of the most famous novels in that genre, out of Australia:

Per Webster: success in obtaining something (such as money or drugs) especially through illegal or irregular means

Maybe if you say it in a gangster voice ... :D

So that being a commercial delivery truck, I normally wouldn't be able to "acquire" anything off it, but a conversation about my Tesla led to, maybe some irregular distributions :D

...milkshake beer? No. NO!

The "milk" in beers is usually means crystalized milk sugars (and are sometimes caramelized like a really dark malt would be), where they're making it slightly sweeter, it's not uncommon in porters and stouts like this (Left Hand stuff is excellent):

Here's there other product I get on occasion, kind of outlines the taste / brewing a little more:

In the USA I'd say "to score" -outside the literal context of sports events-- means "to acquire, to get".

For example:

dropped by Sam's place; he was out in the garden, I scored a couple decent eggplants.​
stopped in at The Abbey last night, saw you trying to score with Cathy, good luck with that.​

Ah, excellent.

To acquire, or to get - in that context - makes sense, now.

Thanks; much appreciated.

An excellent beverage; I managed to lay hands on that particular beer a few years ago.

One of the singles we picked up the other day is a Left Hand, it's this one:

cdd148e5f7b3313898975c558c658af9.


Sounds like a desert beer :)

re: Singles

Many of the larger liquor stores or smaller beer specialty shops, offer an option to buy less than a whole pack, so they have per beer pricing and loose 6-pack holders. Total Wine had at least 100 loose options!

Dessert beer or not, it sounds just perfect for this time of year.

Do enjoy.

I'll give anything a try, but I have to admit that the idea of milk in beer in general isn't doing much to impress me.

I knew a kid in elementary school who used to drink milk and Pepsi. 🤮

Now I like a root beer or Coke float as much as the next person, but just straight milk & Pepsi, No.

Not really a big fan of beer either. A light Pilsner is about my limit - think Corona Extra. With a lime.

Well, it is not "milk" exactly, more a marketing thing to suggest something rich and sweet (courtesy crystallised milk sugars).

Mind you, those so-called "ice cream" beers don't really do it for me.
