Beer?

[Dayvo]

We stopped for lunch one day and asked them what beer they had.
"Haywards 500 sir, it is very good and not very strong" - this is a lie which naturally stops you from asking how strong it actually is.
The answer was about 8 % and it comes in a bloody great pint size bottle !!!
On the upside i slept all the way to Delhi.

I'll buy one for the misses if I fancy a few hours of peace and quiet!

I think it depends on where you are going in India, due to state taxes some of the beers are area specific, I was on business staying in reasonable hotels that mostly served Kingfisher. Beer is not a popular drink for the working man as it is in europe, most the people i met preferred Johnnie Walker.

Get us a curry and rice mate, couple of naans too please.

Thinking about it, I haven't seen Chuffy round these parts for a while.

I'll be in the tourist area - Goa, so getting hold of beers shouldn't be a problem.

I'll just try 'em all and then keep to the best.

I've drained and flushed the central heating system today, now the rads are running thermonuclear hot - for that I deserve some nice oak aged cider, jubbly.

i do enjoy either a Kingfisher (my local curry house dosn't do it anymore) or my favourite Speckled Hen.............in fact........ i have a few tins in the fridge from xmas.......(i dont drink much! In fact i have been known to go a year between alchoholic beverages....does that count as teetotal??)

Henry Westons Vintage here... Can't beat a decent strength cider. Although several of my homebrews work bloomin' well!

Have you tried this pub, 3BM?

It almost makes Ilk sound worth a visit.

I Haven't Mort, looks good though - I'm on Planet Ilkeston most weeks so I'll give it a go and report back.
