Premier League of Pints

[The Legendary Tongue]

I’ll try and pick 3 from, Guinness, Trophy, caffreys, Double Maxim, Camden Stout and something called 1906 Black that I had in Santa Cruz in December.
Ooh look at me having a holiday just afore Christmas.

It confuses the hell out of the bar staff if you ask if you can buy a glass off them!

Was more proud that I was able to acquire a san Miguel glass

The price of a pint now, doesnt the glass come free?

Stella for me, been my go to drink for years.

Love the taste, love a decent pint of it

If you ever drink in the house try Galereux from Lidle, better than Stella

The RAGE when it’s not served in a Stella glass is real.

The glass is designed to correctly distribute the bubbles

Some of the pubs I've been in in London, the price should include the glass, table, bar stool and maybe a night in bed with the landlords 21 year old daughter!

Used to love a Stan Micheal.

Then I moved to Spain. Was there about 2 days before a local barman told me ‘don’t drink that muck it’s for tourists’, and moved me to Mahou.

Never had one since, 15 years ago

Tried to buy a Staropramen glass from a pub a while back, one of those old fashioned type pint glasses with a handle, bloke behind the bar wouldn't sell me one, apparently people kept nicking them and he only had a few left.

I like to have a pint in every airport I am in, nearly shat my pants in Dubai £11.50

Usually a gip in any airport, bar Tenerife were you can get a Dorada, the more than palatable local brew, for same price as anywhere else on island.

Confused the hell out of me not getting fleeced for an airport livener

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.

Double Maxim too, always hated Newky Brown
In my early drinking years we used to meet up in the Golden Lion in Houghton and line up all the empty bottles on the fireplace in the back room.
When I moved to London there were a select few pubs that sold DM bottles - we used to go to the Princess Louise in Holborn but the barman also had a taste for it
These days my tastes have changed a bit and enjoy a variety of ales
Guinness, Neck Oil, Dos XX, Erdinger

I bought 4 official stella glasses for the house for that very reason

I really like the Belgian beers Leffe my favourite and all of their range, but one of the best British beers I have tasted in a long time is from vocation brewery called life or death it is an IPA and one of the best IMO.

80 shilling takes me back. Spend years in Scotland and always had a couple of those to kick my night off
