She added: "It will allow us to showcase a selection of superb beers, including those from brewers as far afield as Japan and New Zealand, as well as those closer to home, over a 12-day period. "All of the beers will be available at great value-for-money prices." "The festival will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been available in the pub, as well as those brewed specially for the festival." In addition to this, three third-of-a-pint tasters will be available for the price of a pint. Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in the pub as part of the festival magazine (a digital version will also be available on the Wetherspoon app and website).
What I have found during travelling is that some foreign beers sold in another country are often brewed under licence in the country they are being sold. Having had beers in the counties, for example such as Japan, Holland, Ireland, and Germany etc, they always taste better in the country of origin.
Even I have standards, admittedly low ones, and switchable too. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Ashamed to say I drank it when under 18 along with abominations like Tartan. My dad never minded me drinking but always said don’t go in pubs he was in as he had a bakery and supplied some of those he went in and it wouldn’t have looked good if police came in and I got pulled up and he was there as well. When I reached18 he took me in our local and instead of waiting to be asked what I wanted I said I’ll have aDouble Diamond. He informed me I was having a Tetley’s as he wasn’t asking for one of those. Liked it and got Tetley’s when it was my round. Though to be fair to my dad he rarely took a drink off me and insisted on paying for us both even when I was far older. Can’t see them serving it in those lethal weapon type heavy glasses with a handle like they often used to.
I used to drink it in Hofbrauhaus, it'll come as little surprise to some that I liked it. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I think it was Tartan that my Mum and Dad left for me to drink when they went out and I was about 14 and looking after my younger brothers.
I used to work there and the manager admitted it was watered - he used to say you could drink 10 pints and still be sober
