Beer snobbery...

[HackneyE9]

Oh yeah, I'm only bigging up Becks as a lager to have if someone's got a gun to your head.

Jever is another good, strong, dark German beer.

When I get back to Britain, I'm going to start brewing my own. There's probably a thread on how to somewhere, I imagine?

We should try and celebrate english beer more. I try to quite regularly, but finances mean that sometimes it has to be cheapo larger.

Do you mean from the shops?

Cos in the pub, beer is almost universally cheaper than Lager.

Export Budweiser isn't quite the same as US domestic Budweiser anyway, and it's certainly not the same as US mass-market domestic beer in general, which really _is_ piss, particularly the Lite stuff.

We have Bud that's been tuned more to Canadian tastes. It isn't as much piss as the domestic US stuff, but it's still piss.

And I like alcopops too, a bit. Only drink them once in a blue moon, but they're occasionally... refreshing.

Cider's mainly vommo-fuel but Magner's is quite nice.

Just divvent tell us Northern pals - alreet?

Are you 14?

 

[chainsaw cat]

do you demand it with ice like the advertising tossers tell us to?

"Two double gins and two pints of cider. Ice in the cider."

Unsettled me when pointed out after I slagged the current icey cider thing.

I get a very noticeable beer taste from Budweiser and that ilk of beers. It's just lighter and more refreshing. The kind of think I'd have after a tennis match or something. I think the problem with these types of objections is that they come from people who've knackered their taste buds from decades of smoking or otherwise abusing their tastebuds.

Are you trying to make people hate you?

To the OP-i know what you mean. I really like budweiser sometimes, don't get why people hate it. Their loss i guess!

I once filled a 3/4 ton landrover up to groaning with budwieser from an American army shop, at 20c per can, for an end - of - exercise piss up in Germany. (British Army) A real bargain i thought given the kitty we had.

After the first can or two I was sent to hand it back, get the cash and go to a German supermarket for half the amount at twice the price. And threatened with personal injury.

Valuable lesson there I think.

I'm trying to conceive of this.

A British soldier is given a fistful of money and a truck, and sent to buy beer. He gets a good idea: "I'll buy Budweiser!"

It's like the beginning of a fable or fairy tale, like Jack and the Beanstalk, or The Three Little Pigs.

Some of it was Coors.


I was very young.

Stop! You're just making it worse!

Well if someone hates me because I like the taste of Budweiser, they're an idiot, and they can go suck a cyanide flavoured cock for all I care.

No. I meant because you like tennis.

I think I'd take the cyanide cock over a can of Budweiser.
