Nearly everyone I know is an alcoholic, just some function better than others.

You're right, CC - Drinking Orangeboom in Amsterdam, etc , then finding bottles in Grandways...But, check the back of the label and see: "Brewed in the UK, under licence, by..."

Put it back on the shelf and forget it

Same with Heineken, Red Stripe, Grolsch, etc. Just 'blanded out'

 

Love Oranjeboom. You can get Oranjeboom which is brewed in Holland, though not as widely nowadays. At one time I think there were only Oranjeboom and a Heineken or Carlsberg brew which weren't brewed under licence which were on general sale..
Now you can get quite a few French and East European ones. Got a taste for Starporamen myself.

 

Thats the thing about Cider!!! When the Suns out it comes into its own and i find myself having to sample its delights.
Hard life i know !!!

 

A bloke stopped me in town today and asked me "Where's the nearest boozer mate?" I replied "You're talking to him pal".

 

The 6 packs of Heineken that you can get in Asda/ Morrisons are brewed in Holland.
You can tell coz theyre about £6 for 6× 330 ml cans.
Worth the extra i think and defo a lager i would drink

 

One of my favourite lagers is Staropramen.

Only brewed in Prague.

Well lush.

 

Hoegaarden with half a lime

 

Some interesting sounding Rums there .
Cranberry flavour certainly is surprising

 

I dont mind a couple of Hoegarden.
It doesnt half fill you up though.
Leffe also.

 

Yeah great on a hot day! Squeeze half a lime & then drop it in

 

Life's just great

 

We have Pear Cider on draught down here where I live in the West Country, on a hot day you cannot beat it.

 

Whereabouts is that? Going to that area next month.

 

Wiltshire

 

Really ?

Ok,I'll bite,what exactly did you find 'silly ' about your meetings with your fellow Alcoholics?


Bruce OUT.

 

Whereabouts in Wiltshire, for those lacking in comprehension skills.

 

Marlborough area, not all the pubs stock it and the ones that do stock it also don't always have it in. I'm afraid that it's a bit hit and miss. But you could go on a pub crawl until you find one.
