Yeah but there has to be a trade off between cheapness and drinkability

No point paying feck all for some brew akin to beer tray wringings is there ... would rather pay a little more and get something decent

It's eminently drinkable AND dirt cheap. Gets this review on Beer Advocate:

A half-inch of head rests on top this toasted orange beer. Webbed lacing adds a little extra texture to the appearance. The aroma is clean, hoppy, bringing pine, orange peel, a fruit salad, and toasted grain to the nose. Equally malty as hoppy, this pale ale hits the spot! The delightful maltiness of caramel makes a good backbone for orange, grapefruit, and cantaloupe flavors to hit. The beer is medium bodied, yet surprisingly rich in flavor. Hop Mountain gets an easy recommendation from this

What a shower of bollocks <laugh>
 
nah ah, not these, they're ****ing excellent brews and the company is excellent too, still using a real old recipe, refused to update the bottle and label design to become more appealing to modern drinkers

the stuff you see in the supermercados i partly agree with yous on, there's too much branding and trendiness involved

Yeah I am talking in general terms and will look out for the ones you mentioned.

ASDA doing some French stumpies with a silly long name 5.5 and £2.50 a 4 pack. Pretty good though.

Some people think too much. <laugh>
 
these are the one that are sold in the bar as legal stock right per bottle... just in case she is raided

24 for £9 sounds like knock offs sold under the bar.

anyone who would pay higher for budpuke or worse becks is a fruit.

£9 is what she pays the wholesaler for them, so if you buy a box, it's not-for-profit. It's a quid a bottle in the pub for the same stuff, so she's making decent profit on those.

So you go in and she'll give you whole sale price... does she only give this deal to the absolute alcoholics cos if I got that deal I'd only be seen once per week.
