Off Topic Beer prices

[balkan tiger]

When I drank the stuff, it was always cooking lager for me as I couldn't afford better.

I occasionally drink the Belgium brew in our local Italian and it's palatable. I don't kick off and wreck the place but neither do I leave a five star review on TripAdvisor.


I straddle the fence on this one tbh.

Years ago, late 70's Stella was the posh lager. Edit. and more expensive

Supplied by the Federation Brewery.

Who made a brew called Ace Lager.


Now I drank a lot of Ace Lager in the late 80s, mainly because it was so cheap that you could drink it and claim a rebate on your water bill, but regardless of how much you drank it was impossible to actually get drunk on it.

It had no taste.

It defined bland.

It had no impact on those who experienced it.



It was, and remains, the liquid expression of Sunderland.

Stella, 1974 Trog Bar 49p a pint. Hull Brewery Bitter Anywhere 1974 13 pence a pint. I drank the Stella. Only one pint mind.

Stella, 1974 Trog Bar 49p a pint. Hull Brewery Bitter Anywhere 1974 13 pence a pint. I drank the Stella. Only one point mind.

It was 52p a pint in the works bar when I worked in Tooting around ‘87-‘89. I only drank one at a time too.

I’m laughing like ****.

Booked us into dirty Leeds for the night. Bit of shopping, few drinks, summat to eat, few more drinks, bed, breakfast, home.

Just checked their fixture for tomorrow.

That’ll be fun.

the one thing i dislike about leeds is, is the fact that it's actually a decent place to visit...

My sister was such a fan that she called her first cat 'Stella'.

Her next cat was called Brandy. For similar reasons.

She then called her next cat Muffin.

I never dared ask her why.

It’s because no one in their right mind would call their cat “Bun”

I’ve just bought a pint in a boozer in London.
Not central London
Not a tourist hotspot
In fact positively suburban on an overground line
Normal boozer
Pints, sandwiches, blokes in work gear rolling their own cigs

£6.05

Six ****ing pounds and five bastard pence!!!!!

Back in the eighties I had a meeting in the Hilton in Park Lane, got there early and thought I would have a pint, cost me £3. I said to the bar man I only ordered one pint, he looked at me as if I was daft.

Yea Lion Bar is a mini chain owned by some Balkan "Gentlemen". Rough as old boots mate.

Djurgården is very nice. Walking distance from me.

Drink priced here are a joke luckily I drink so much I never remember what it cosy me....

I'm in belgium all next week with work. I'm expecting the beer to be free as a charitble work of the monks.

The monks are in habit of giving freebies ??

The Fed brewed in Dunston, Gateshead - it was the last Tyneside brewery.

Actually as disparaging as I sometimes am about Sunderland I retain many happy memories of the 4 years I lived there. Especially the pubs.

The Vaux Brewery had a excellent Brewery Tap. Always full of coppers as it was opposite the Police Station.

Over 25yrs in Washington and only about 3 nights out in Sunderland (except theatre), the last being about 12 years ago. Much prefer Newcastle and Durham, or stay local. Brewery Tap was great pre-game...

Just abit O/T has anyone else got scammed by a dodgy 2 quid coin?

It's a Mexican 10 peso coin. Looks the same but a bit thinner. I got one the other day and didn't realise and used it again and got pulled up in a shop. The bloke said there's been a few going round.

‘Didn’t realise’ before you tried to pass it off to a shop...aye ok

Hadn’t heard of it though to be honest

 

[Is Vic there?]

I went to the local "Workers Club" to meet some friends last night. It got rid of the brewery that it'd been tied to for years and is now a FreeHouse.
£1.35 for a pint of dark mild, all the way up to a staggering £2.60 for a pint of San Miguel.

What a great evening we all had.

You can get pints almost everywhere BCC just ask for a "Stor Stark" or big strong one. (That's not a set up BTW you will get a pint of strong beer). Ask for a "beer" and youll probably get a 250ml.

If you come again pm me and I'll buy you a couple.

This thread does make me cry a little though. can some of you really get a beer in a pub for 3 quid'ish.

When I'm in the UK it's usually Milton Keynes or London and it always seems to be about a fiver.

£2.15p for most real ales in Wetherspoons .

As I spend money freely it's been difficult to narrow it down to where I got it. But I seem to remember getting three 2 quid coins all at once in some change in a boozer.
