Here we go (Read that in your best Fabrizio voice). The next league is announced. Pints. Anything from Lager, Ale, Cider, Soft drinks. Even a good old ice water. Just no Snakebite, I am still scarred. I am going for a Jaipur from the Thornbridge brewery, near me. A rocket fuel IPA which tastes spectacular. My second pick, Guinness. But with caveats. Got to be in Dublin and hand pulled. It is a different drink to what we get here.
Old school - Carling Premier. I'll second Guinness. Yeah, it's totally different in Dublin. I couldn't drink it over here until I tried it over there and it tasted totally different. And I'll go for an overseas beer - Tooheys Brown or Black. It's a bit like best scotch but tastes better. Oh and Cameron's Strongarm!
Ooooof this will get tasty. I’m more of a bourbon lad but I do like a pint. I’m ashamed to say but of a trend follower so been through the Corona era, Madri, Cruz…. I’m a Stella man though. I live the taste, I love the aftertaste, it doesn’t gas me up and it doesn’t give me a hangover. Stella is king for me. Do like a Mahou when I’m in Espana. Not a Guiness guy at all but had them in Oreland and were beautiful.
Don’t mind a Shippy mind, decent shout. Not breaking any ground shouting a Stella, it’s just one of them. Classic, if it ain’t broke. I wouldn’t care to imagine how many I’ve necked in the last 44 years
Cameron strong arm story. When I was around 16 or 17 I had a ticket in the local WMC. Tiny village and my Dad had ok with steward. Used to just drink carling in half pint bottles back then. One night I was in and wandered over and asked for a pint of Strongarm. He looked at me and said when you are a bit bigger lad, choose again
True Mackem, me. Double Maxim. Back on my student days I used to drink it straight from the bottle, none of this pouring into a glass for me! Much prefer it to Newcastle Brown Ale, as I always found that "heavy". Vaux Samson, proper hand pulled draft. Back when Jimmy Clough managed the Saltgrass it was like drinking liquid gold. Sadly since the original (my brother calls it the proper) Vaux closed, both don't taste quite the same, but are still good drinks. I do like a good German larger, especially Dortmunder, but in hot weather any larger is refreshing and gorgeous. I've had some cracking pints of 80 shilling up in Scotland over the years, some of the craft/specialist beers around now are too class, including the "new" Vaux. But I'm going Double Max and Samson.
Went into a beer garden, no cctv that’s the trick not that I agree with stealing and ‘Twas truly an accident
