A black day for this country and for Brian, in particular. .

Aspall's cider has been sold to the American firm, Moulson Coors. FFS. the Americans know about cider making what I know about vegan cookery. No doubt they'll be adding extra sugar and blueberries to take away that sour apple taste?

This follows the Irish [Magners] buying Addlestones last year and ceasing production. Why doesn't someone buy Strongbow and stop producing that muck?

<wah>


Posted on wrong thread.

Pass the Pinot Noir.

At least White Lightning is still made in a bin with battery acid and piss. They don't **** with their formula.

I was known as White Lightning on a 5-a-side team I used to play for. I thought it was because I was fast but it turned out it was because they thought I was an alcoholic. To be fair, I did used to bring a pint for the subs bench :D

My dad grew up in a pub and to say he likes a drink would be underselling it.......a lot. However, he's always had dodgy tastes in alcohol. In the 1970's he took to drinking bottles of Newcastle Brown. Sorry, Geordies. That stuff is vile and for me, undrinkable. The only good thing was that he gave not a crap that my older brother and I used the bottles for home brew, which tasted a lot better than the original contents.

In the 90's he discovered Tennents Extra and started drinking cans of that. I despaired. He wasn't living on the streets or anything. He's an accountant and was heading up a successful business.

Around 2000, somehow, he got converted to White Lightning. He was in his 60's. I told him that there was no apples in it and that it was the devil's piss and it was created in a lab for wino's, 14 year olds and punk rockers but he stayed loyal to it for years. Thank god, he's now a red wine drinker.

You are obviously from up north Diego. Bitter production stops at around Burton. North of that, with the old exception,is frothy twaddle. Bitter is supposed to taste bitter, that is why it is called bitter. When you get a chances try a pint of Harveys Best or Shepherd Neame Spitfire. Unfortunately Gales of Horndean are no more (correct me if I'm wrong someone) but Gales HSB (known as GBH to hardened drinkers) was the dogs bollocks. Talking of Bollocks, I've not seen it about lately, but a good pint of Nelsons Bollocks, brewed in the ex Chatham dockyard was one hell of a pint as well.

As a Man Of Kent it has long been my belief that the finest beer has always been brewed in Kent. Whether that be any of Shepherd Neames – Masterbrew, Spitfire, Bishops Finger, (or the recent Whitstable Bay Pale Ale, which really does remind me of my youth as its is very much like the light and bitter that was my staple pint for many a session in my younger years.) Fremlins was also brewed in Kent and was one of the finest bitters produced (another that is unfortunately no more).

But I do think you maybe being a little unfair on some Northern Brewers, if you can get a decent pint of hand pulled Tetleys (not the muck they now put in cans), or Youngers Scotch Bitter or McEwens export these were all excellent pints, though whether these are still produced I am not sure I haven't been drinking in the north for a while now!
 
Referee Mike Dean said his decision to award West Brom an 89th-minute penalty in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on 31 December was "wrong", according to referees' chief Mike Riley.

Now we just need him to admit he was wrong to give Arsenal two offside goals against us, the first from a free kick given for an incident he made up
And he was wrong not to give us a clear penalty against Swansea early in the season
And that he was wrong to not give us at least two clear penalties against West Scam last week
And that he's generally an incompetent twatsack who's so bad it;s almost worth hoping Mark Clattenberk makes a return

Yep Marstons know how to brew :emoticon-0148-yes:
Have you had Marstons Pedigree ?

The Bass brewery in Burton became part of Coors years ago but Bass itself got hived off and i can't remember who owns it now but they use Marstons to produce it.

Horrifyingly Coors by buying the Bass plant(s) in Burton now own the National Brewing Centre <yikes>
How come almost all our major companies are in foreign ownership <grr>

I enjoy a pint or a bottle of Hobgoblin. Stupid name but tasty beer. At the risk of sounding more trendy than I am, also really like the Brewdog craft Pale Ales. Really, really like them.

That should be the family motto. That or "Et inebriari satus a pugna" - "Get drunk and start a fight". My great grandad was a navvy and came over from Ireland to dig the Edgware Road. After 10 pints or so, the urge to dig a ****ing big hole or start a fight tends to surface.

Careful you don't misspell pugna as puta. In drink become whore. Or there abouts.

Had a few cans of that the other day and it's pretty decent. Not very hipstery when you're buying it from Sainsbury's, though! <laugh>

Marstons pedigree is a fine pint and in my opinion one of the best once bottled
