    Looks better than that canned stuff you drink. I always remember in my younger days, I would never drink anything out of a can because it tasted so bloody awful. Hence I have always stood by only ever buying anything in bottles and on tap in a pub.

    Looks like Moretti, weirdly.

    Was drinking pints of £7.50 yellow again yesterday.

    That's right, seven pounds ****ing fifty pence a pint!

    I was always the same and took some convincing otherwise but they layer the cans now with something and there's little or no difference.

    They had a Verdant in that pub in Magor and it was fairly reasonable price iirc.

    I used to like the old style bitter but it just died off over time, bring that stuff back it's great.

    I remember something called a pint of twos I think it was, which was half bitter then a bottle of mild.

    I just remember getting served half a bitter in a pint glass, then the bottle of mild handed to you with it, sometimes partly poured. I was probably 16 or 17 at the time - that's how long ago it was. Always use to go down the pub with workmates on payday (every Friday).
