And we're not

And therein lies the difference

[madzone]

Really?

It was a couple of weeks ago but it wasn't in the specials bit - just on the normal alcohol bit. Nice shiny barrels

 

[Firky]

[sojourner]

What wheat beer was it?

8.75 pints for 8.99 isn't a good deal?

 

[madzone]

What wheat beer was it?

I dunno - fucking lidls

 

[sojourner]

Fucking useless

Old Jenny Spiced Mead - Delicious.

A.N. Old-Hippy's homebrew mead in 5-litre canisters that may once have held engine oil - Bad, truly evil stuff & I've only been sicker or had such a bad hangover on one other thing!

That Moniack stuff they sell in Tesco, Sainsbury & other places. Tolerable - the new recipie is much less sweet than the old.

Good Wheat Beer - Bloody delicious!

I even converted a number of hardened Irish Stout drinkers to the stuff on my recent trip to Germany. In an Irish bar as well!

 

[sojourner]

Traditional mead, from Lyme Bay Winery this is

14.5%!! No fucking wonder we were wankered! Absolutely nowt to do with the booze sunk beforehand

 

[Firky]

8.75 pints for 8.99 isn't a good deal?

Yeah it is but I had it in my head that 5.99

 

[soulman]

Yeah it is but I had it in my head that 5.99

Pound a pint for a real ale is good.

That's why I only drink good stout, red wine and scrumpy. None of your sickly greek shite for me. Shove it up your hairy arse.

You think wheat beer is from greece

 

[Firky]

mead is you dozy bint.

 

[pogofish]

Firky - Good wheat beer is up there with the best ales, stouts & wines.

Don't know about Lidl's but some of their beer is not bad. I may try some next month

 

[soulman]

mead is you dozy bint.

Don't drink the stuff so I wouldn't know

 

[pogofish]

Meanwhile, I have a half bottle of Old Jenny stashed that I was keeping for a special occasion - Hmmm!

 

[Firky]

Don't drink the stuff so I wouldn't know

Sorry mixed you up with sojourner, its the so part of the name.

 

[soulman]

cheers, ears.

 

[marty21]

yes to mead

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Disgusting stuff. But I'm sure I've read somewhere that it can be distilled into metheglyn (sp?). I can imagine a 40% ABV honey drink being quite useful.
