So Wetherspoons want to move away from selling European drinks and move to UK, US and Australians ones?

Fúck me, there will be some pretty grim lager choices in there soon...

There’s some cracking Namibian lager, tbf.

:nod: Windhoek. Castle isn't bad, either. Wd the Boers.

Most African lagers are pretty palatable in my experience. Safari, Tusker, Kili, Mosi, all ideal for washing the dust of the bush from your parched throat #1000yardstare

I wonder what happened to Ted Rogers? Dead now, if there's any justice.

I could never work out the clues.

Fosters, Budweiser, Carling.

That's Brexit for you.

Does Guinness count as a european drink?

Alan Turing couldn't have worked out the clues, tbf. I seem to think I once saw a panto with Ted Rogers. Or it might have been Leslie Crowther. One of those anyway.

Just out of interest, I googled 'Dusty Bush'.

It's brewed over here, I think. Or we could always have the mad Nigerian stuff.

It is brewed over here but I would guess quite a few 'European' beers are as well.

Not that I am ever going to go in a Wetherspoons anyway.

It's all pish anyway. Real men drink good, English ale.

I went in one. In Swindon, at 3 o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon.

There were two Irish lads scrapping in the middle of the room, with no one taking any notice.

It was called The Savoy.

I am not overly fond of ale. I dont actually enjoy anything but Guinness anymore.

Im getting old.....

What about cider? I currently have three dozen pint bottles of it maturing in my utility room. It looks as though I've gone full Howard Hughes and started keeping my own urine.

Most euro lagers for sale here are brewed in the UK. Sadly.

I'm not sure if by the 'spoons 'rules' Stella, brewed in Luton (or wherever), counts as a UK drink?

Are you sure it was one of those and not Terry Scott ?

I never drink Ale so I'd guess you're right on that. Been invited to this place at the end of the month;

:nono: Used to brewed at Park Royal but they closed that down - all British Guinness comes from St James's Gate. Used to have a mate who worked for Guinness - had a bar set up in his flat for a party once with a barrel of the stuff. I spent a lot of time behind that

**** knows what I was drinking at the cricket on Saturday but there were a few good ales (at 5.50 a pint they bloody well should be)

Really? Well, I did not know that.

Excellent. Although technically it will be an EU import.....

Yes, there’s usually a decent choice of real ales at the cricket these days. The days when you had a choice between yellow watered-down fizz and brown watered-down fizz (John Smiths) are gone, happily.

I do not like cider at all. I had a Magners phase but it was short (and sweet...)

[Luis Anaconda]

Really? Well, I did not know that.

but from a British company (still owned by Diageo) - how does that work?

[Burney]

Given that the U.K. is its biggest single market, I’d say the ball’s very much in Guinness’ court, wouldn’t you?

Magners isnt cider, p. :-|

My cider has bits in :cloud9:

I want my ****ing Guinness and I dont want to pay a premium for it. Sort it out!!

It is cider, sort of. For Irish women.

Lot of calories, b.

**** knows. Its one thing to go ahead with Brexit but when you start ****ing with an englishman's right to a pint......the end of civilisation itself.

[Burney]

If it comes to it, they’ll re-open brewing operations here, p. Thus creating British jobs and putting dirty paddies on the scrapheap.

Another win for Brexit. :salutes:

I find that the calories are largely offset by the explosive diarrhoea, tbf.

I used to work for Grand Met before they merged with Guinness.
