Something daft like £30

I was listening to a podcast and it was adding 2 extra beers that made it 10 for £5 so thought that was pretty good. I like trying different beers but find that most of the UK ones are bang average.
Theres some decent ales if you look .
Quite like Theakston Pale Ale.
Most lager doesn't really taste like beer, just fizzy sugar water. I find stuff like Peroni, Heineken or Estrella undrinkable.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Totally agree Toby
Peroni is ****ing ****e overpriced normal lager but people fall for it !

My brother in law loves the trappist stuff, too strong for me though.
Yeah mate he has good taste .
Good thing with Trappist beer is they donate some profits to charity .
It is rather strong though and you have to be careful and take it easy .
I've been really drunk a couple of times around the Town centre .

So many bang average ones it puts me off looking, every American one I try is bloody lovely. There's a pub in my local town doing Brooklyn Defender on tap, great pint.
 
Mass produced lager is ****ing pish. I'm sat here looking at three slabs of free Stella I've never taken home as I know it's ****ing horrible.

Currently constructing the new Corona line. FYI, production of Corona in Mexico stops next month. It will then be from right here in sunny Newport and will no doubt taste **** all like the proper stuff.

Off French Alps this weekend, looking forward to trying some decent local beers ( and some utter ****ing ****e if last year's memory serves me well).

This stuff was ok; https://www.brasserie-montblanc.com/

I hate these companies that brew in the UK. Most ridiculous one is Sam Adams, the UK stuff isn't even close to the taste of the American stuff.

Theres a nice beer shop in the city centre that sells lots of craft beers from all over .

That's a daft price. Best ever pint while out at the pub?

Mine was an Anchor Steam Beer in a bar in New York.
