Off Topic Not 606 Beer Festival

Is that the one that has a capacity of 3? It always looked like a place I'd like but I've never bothered going in?

 

It goes great with Sanatogen, too. TBF, I would probably have argued similarly to you when I was 14. Hopefully, you'll grow out of it.

 

I thought that so never went in for 1st couple of years
Theres a back room thats twice the size
Its good give it a whirl

 

At 27 years old, if I'm drinking Boddingtons by the time I'm your age I'll be very disappointed.

 

I used to drink Boddies when I was in my twenties, in and around St Helens. Fine hand drawn pint. Not too strong so you could manage a few pints of it.
My Dad introduced me to Stones and later on Worthington Creamflow, I used to have to drink some right ****e down here. To be honest, I enjoy Worthies. But find it a little neutral taste bid wise.

I am not a massive real ale buff believe it or not. To be honest I would rather have a cheap and nasty new fangled Boddingtons sat with my mates, than a real ale sat watching Strictly with the missus. If its on, I like Ringwood (any of their drafts are good) and even Speckled Hen. The one pint I hate is Doombar. Flat as ****.

Nowt wrong with your view though.

 

Why do you associate real ale with Strictly??

 

I think the taste of Boddies has changed over the last few years to the extent that I wouldn't consider trying it again. I like a Creamflow. Trouble with beers is the quality & taste can vary so much between pubs. Once you find a decent boozer you should stick with it, until it changes hands & becomes ****.

Have you tried a pint of mixed? Boddies & Guiness?

 

in old tiwn on me own.theyve all buggered off.sod it i arent going home yet.walters next slurp

 

I never drink Boddies, Ben. Not since Strangeways.

The best thing I can remember about Boddies in the recentish past, is that fit lass on the boat on the canal.

Edit:

 

Lightweights
Nice and comfortable in there

 

Had my own pub for a spell and got my boy and lots of the regulars on mixed - start with a pint of handpull Bombardiers, couple of pints in get a bottle of Leffe Blonde, just repeat and let battle commence - ****ing immense, brought my boy up right! I wish he could remember.

 

You mad ****er.

Biggest awakening I had as a yourh was the local Posties getting me on Barley Wine & Cider one Xmas Eve. Didn't see much of Xmas day.

 

Bloody hell i did the same 1981

 

Yep, it's been said before

Barley Wine and Cider? Not a cider drinker, but I'll make an effort.

 

It looks tiny, but it goes back much further than you expect and opens up a bit too. Well worth a go

 

Where is the one towards the Deep?

 

Just have the one.

I wasn't a cider drinker then & I haven't been since.

 

Turn left out of lion n key go sbout 40 yards and its the buulding with the red doors /windows on the left
Opening next year acvording to guy in Hawkes
Not agreed of license hours yet that the hold up apparently

 

Is this the one where you tie a plank across your arse before venturing forth? Erm, what are we talking about??

 

Ah cheers
I do like pubs and beer !
