Don't think this is going to make it as a product in the UK:

Oh I dunno. It could if the brewery was trendy enough. @Marmion loves all that stuff.

Surely a beer for the no voting unionist skum

 

[User169]

Skum means "frothy" which sounds quite appealing for a beer. There are shedloads of Scandi beers with similar sounding names. There's a Dutch beer, Skuumkoppe, from Texel which is pretty lush (Tom KerridgeTM).

Not a huge fan of brown ales though!

That's because the Europeans (outside of Belgium) don't know anything about brewing. There is usually one style of beer - what we'd call lager - and if you're really lucky you'll find a "dark" (lager) and a "white" (wheat lager). In bits of Bavaria you might find a "stark" (strong lager) All very nice, and better than the cack we get as lager, but not desperately interesting.

I have some of them living by me.

I thought this was going to be about the excellent Bill Murray film of the same name, Lost in Translation that is not Skumring. I'd try a Skumring though if I saw it.

Bill Murray - isn't he that tennis nobber who voted with Marmion?

Different miserable old bastard, and Murray.

Didn't he have his hotel closed down because of hygiene problems.........Murray (not Marmion), I mean.

Bill or Andy? This is all terribly confusing.

Probably. I blame the chief beer buyer at M&S. Must be some alien eggs mixed in with the hops.

You buy beer at M+S? That well known purveyor of underwear.

I'm glad you posted that......I'm a Sauvignon Blanc man myself but even I know that Watneys make a lovely pint of bitter.

Yes - those evil bastards on the "Beer" thread have corrupted me.

M&S beer is remarkably good, unlike just about everything else they sell, which is just dull and utilitarian.

Ahem. Their pasta is excellent.
