    You can have a decent pubstroll and not feel ripped off for buying decent beer.

    On the topic of beer, I find it incredible that the vast majority of the British public spend considerably more drinking this run of the mill mass produced rat piss lager. If there's one thing this country does better than any other it's the hundreds or thousands of carefully crafted beers by true artisans with a passion for their work, at a lower cost than the generic rat piss lager. And hardly anyone drinks the bastards.

    Whereabouts are you?Go to the Cotswolds, Bourton On The Water, I would live there if I ever came into a bit of money and could afford a house there, for a few days every year. Always expect to pay a lot for beer given the area's well off residents, price of houses etc but surprised at the reasonableness of a pint,even in places where the food is expensive compared to here. Though even in Bourton my favourite pubs prices for food was similar to round here and the beer wasn't much different, in fact the wife's lime and soda when she didn't want a lager was less than some pubs near me.

    Plenty of good lagers. Not British or the brewed under licence crap unfortunately.
    I think taste buds alter. Don't enjoy some beers as much as I used to,although I came across a spot on pint of Cameron's Strongarm recently Grosmont.
    Prefer a proper cider nowadays, yet wasn't interested in cider until about 10 years ago. Unfortunately various medications mean I suffer that much if I have an enjoyable amount these days that I restrict myself to odd forays.

    Aye there are decent lagers, but the point I was making is there could be a Sam Smiths smacking these people in the face and they'd still pay more for a Carling or a Fosters.

    I remember taking one of my lads for a pint when he was 17 and asked him what he wanted. He said a pint of Carling. I told him to have another try. He could drink that rubbish when he was ordering but I wasn't asking for it.
    Ashamed to say that 20 years later he still gets cans of the stuff to drink at home. At least he is a City fan...

    Carling was first made to a traditional recipe from Lund, where Thomas Carling, the founder of the brewery lived before moving to Canada.

    When he got to Canada, the practice was that everyone around helped you build your homestead, and you rewarded them with food and drink at the housewarming. Tom made beer to the traditional East Yorkshire recipe, and it was so popular, the business developed.
