Favourite beer thread.

So is a plonker someone who drinks cheap wine ?

 

looks like my sort of place particularly with draught Bass .

 

I'm lucky in that the things that really give me gout are not the things I really love (beer) fruit is my biggest trigger and too much seafood can set it off.

plonker - Urban Dictionary

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plonker - the term plonker started out as a reference to someone who was forever drunk

 

Lager/beer/stout/guinness all vile

Cider the drink of choice, Thatchers gold probably the best. Strongbow comfortably the worst

 

Not a lot of difference between them.

 

Between the different ciders? I would disagree, but then I would say the same about basically every lager I have ever tried, IPA etc so guess it just depends on how educated you are on the drink.

I remember walking into my uni halls bar when I first got there and asked for a pint of Blackthorn and they looked at me like I was speaking a different language. After some arm waving I finally got it across I wanted cider "oh yeah we got that, Stongbow or Magners". I was tempted to drop out after my first week

 

Stowford Press is ok too.

 

Don't mind Stowford, becomes a bit acidic after a few though. Symonds the worst for that though, literally feels like you are drinking acid after a pint and a half.

There are lots of good/great ciders around so it is why it always surprises me how popular Strongbow is around the country, I do live in cider hotspot though so am probably spoilt for choice.

 

Fair point. I like a pint of cider now and then but not often.

 

Yes its nice
They sell it in Morrisons .
I do like the Aspal cider in the red bottles

 

Will give it a try.

Great shout on Aspall as well, love that stuff.

 

Have you tried Thatchers gold?

 

I’m not a big cider drinker - maybe on a very hot day in summer, but Aspall’s is one of the best I’ve tasted. Top stuff.

 

Yeah good stuff, I quite like the haze one too.

 

I go down an old railway track from Hull about 8 miles on bike and the pub used to sell aspall .
They've bloody changed it to Stowford.
Very disappointed

 

Watch out on the Rattler though, proper ****s you up. Drank about 10 of them in cornwall once and woke up in a sand dune 50m from my hotel.

I had been in the hotel bar most of the evening so **** knows how I ended up where I woke up

 

Thread hijack by straw chewing scrumpy folk!

 

No it’s not you tasteless monster.

You need to try some proper British Ales.

 

One of the boozers down at Spurs were selling cans - yes cans! - of Stowford on a matchday for £4.50 while pints of beer/ cider were going for £5.50. Since the new stadium opening, it’s been well documented that they’re losing out on loads of business as the new stadium is selling most pints for £4.
