This weeks beer deal

[Gerry Attrick]

Tescos are flogging 660ml bottles of Becks at 3 for £4. £1.33 a bottle. Don't know why I'm telling you this, there'll be nowt left for Gerry.

When I was last in Texas and it was +40 degrees, a bottle of ice cold yank p1ss (Shiner in actual fact) was very welcome indeed.

What bloody beer snobs we have here. I like my real ale but Bud is ok, it's a 5% larger, simple as. I enjoy a ice cold larger on a hot day, MUCH than a room temperature ale.

Though Guinness is my favorite

I find it funny that people get so passionate about beer or food, to the point of telling everyone else they're wrong.

To be fair, I have been known to drink a handful cans of T*nnents (at room temperature would you believe) once in a blue moon, but on the whole, I find that lager just tastes too bitter and you get a horrible aftertaste (the warmer it is the more the aftertaste seems to be dulled, and hey, at the end of the day, it's drink, so who cares!).

At least with ales, there are a LOT more flavours and I'll choose a good ale over lager any day (except for if it was one of those nice Czech Black Lagers that W*atherspoons did for a while).

I'm no snob by the way, each to their own, and what's more, I'll quite happily drink room temperature ales in my house too.

I'm not a great fan of chilled things as I have always had sensitive teeth, and this has had a bearing on what I drink too (I don't even like chilled milk!).

I've got a friend who's Spanish mother gets % Vol mixed up with Calories. She won't drink anything less than 11 Calories.
I look for the 13 or 14%.
I like wine Red, White or Rose. Ale, Beer or Lager. I'll even drink yours as Alcohol is a great disinfectant.

Alcohol is a great disinfectant.

I'll have to try that excuse some time, but I doubt it would go down very well!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I hate beer.

Aww you poor thing!!

Try a good, solid dark ale, the kind where you can taste every part of it, and then try different flavours. Tastewise, there is night and day between ale and lager.

That said, I can barely stand Vodka (although I'll force myself if I have too!).

For years I've explained to the GF that Beer does taste like that and that I only drink it as a religious penance (as she's a Catholic she should understand).

It is a sacrament perhaps....

Benjamin seems to have had the right idea.

Edit: Sorry! I thought that the previous post was lost. Beer had no hand in my confusion....

On sunday at the rugby i'll be on the guinness and Tetleys, thats one of my favorite aspect of rugby. You can drink in the terraces!

That Bud deal seems expensive to me, but then again, I brew my own instead. It works out at about 40p a pint and is top notch. Never mind bottles, this is hand drawn from a cask, just like you'd get down your local.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I used to do that. Sadly I don't get the time these days and all my brewing kit is on long term loan to a friend, who does occasionally use it. But I agree you can get some top notch beers for very little money.

I thought you were on the wagon.
