Budweiser? :hehe:
Whose utterly retarded idea was it to try and sell that shít in England over Christmas? They literally cannot give the fücking stuff away. I expect they'll put it in the Food Bank box next - as if the poor and needy didn't have enough problems.
Alcohol free beer? what is the ****ing point of that ****?Quote:

They call it 'Prohibition Brew' to try and glamourise it a bit. They're fooling no-one, though. Even the livery looks funereal. :-(Quote:

There's loads of it in our local one stop, I assume they've picked up a load on the cheap as it wasn't being sold in the run up to Christmas and now think Dry January might be an opportunityQuote:

I tried the Becks stuff when the wife was pregnant, it was vile. Did find a reasonably drinkable one in Portugal, no idea what it was called though but wife was happy with itQuote:

Whilst I am interested in your opinion on a great many things, Burney, I'm afraid I can't take you seriously when it comes to beer. I recall you saying you enjoy Doombar, a drink so vile that no one with functioning taste buds could possibly claim to like it.Quote:

I love real ale and lager and Budweiser is really no different than the large majority of lagers. I see no reason to refuse to drink one or the other when both have their merits.
Actually lots of people like Doom Bar because it is a decent beer :shrug: Perhaps you were rude to the people who served you it and they put something in itQuote:

No. Because it if WES likes something, it is surefire proof of it being shít. FACT.Quote:

How much do you have to drink for this phenomenon to occur?Quote:

Ten pints of anything will result in healthy and robust bowel movements the following day.Quote:

Wesley have you ever considered going on a coach trip or a cruise ?
I now have about a dozen bottles of homemade cider maturing on my shelves at home. I am curious to find out what its effects on my digestive system will be. I suspect the effects of the early stuff (before I honed my technique) will be deleterious. :-(Quote:

But Doombar has a vile, acrid finish which makes me nauseous. The sort of bitter that gives bitter a bad name, for me.
Real ale > lager = snobberyQuote:

I've made no such compromises on my cider, which seems to range from about 6.5% to 8% depending on the batch. I made some with pear and apples that I think may be my best so far.Quote:
