Off Topic Booze

Not from me

 

Bit harsh that - I'd say the 'Tiddler's Travels' is a pretty good football thread

Non-League and local footy deserves all the coverage it can get.

 

Alcohol-free booze.

 

I've heard it has improved markedly in the last few years.
Must admit I'm sceptical though.
Decades ago I tried that 'Calibre' non-alcoholic lager. My God it was awful.

 

Lawrie McMenemy advertised it?

 

They threw some money at it.
And fair play for trying something difficult, even if they failed.

I know lager isn't to everybody's taste anyway. But you can find decent ones.
In my experience not decent non-alcoholic ones though.

 

Obviously I like my beer but I just had a lovely cup of tea - Yorkshire tea bags , you can’t beat them

 

Twinings English Breakfast for me.

 

A pot of Yorkshire loose leaf, even better.

 

I think it was a bit tongue in cheek from @Dick Plumb1

 

I'll drink lager, but will always choose bitter if there's a choice. When I grew up, the standard London beer for bitter drinkers was Courage Best, and Courage Directors, so things are only getting better. We can get London pride out here in Spain, which is fine by me. I am curious though. As all these micro breweries appear everywhere, why is IPA suddenly such a big thing. Seems like 80% of any new beer in pubs in the UK these days is IPA. Is it easier to make

 

It was very much tongue in cheek.

 

Do NOT gulp this down, at 8.5% it could have serious consequences.

 

Unlike me, this has a lot of body.

You can't drink too much of the Belgian gear, unless you want to risk SERIOUS problems.

 

Were you still drinking the Belgian stuff while the Belgian was in charge of Charlton?

 

Only the once.....whilst out there for the St Truiden game in 2016?
I had a GOOD time

 

I really wanted to call you an apologist for that

 

I didn't pay to go in.

 

uuuummmm

I don’t drink anymore but what I really miss is a pint of good Guinness on a warm day.
