Bottles of ale for me.

Black sheep, Theakstons and Directors are all lush!

Theakstons inparticular is smashing.

Anyone else?

i'm considering digging out a bottle of smirnoff. but it's made me very angry today.

Ever tried banana ale? It ent half bad

No, though we had some at spoons when I worked there.  Don't know why I never tried it really.

Cup of tea

Bin tired all fkin day, nrly fell asleep at work

Must watch MotD!!!!

Nescafe and fuckin loads of it..

Unfortunately

Caaarlinn Black Label.

Vintage 87.

Probably the best lager in the world apparently...

I like Carling

Maybe not that trendy or hard to admit but I prefer a good sesssion beer that you can drink 12 pints of than hard man Stella that quite frankly wipes me out after 5 :D Im a light weight :D

Yeah as far as party pops go I'd choose Carling cold every time!

Yep. Bang on Red.

I had a Stella with breakfast for the Port Vale game. Felt rough as fuck after that.

Black label was horrible though.

KT, your mixing up your beer adverts, criminal.

Sorry Spence, where have I gone wrong?

At least I knew a speedboat was a popular prize on Bully! :wink:

best beer... is carlsberg

i think

Woo. go you

'berg is OK in the absense of Carling.

You said 'Probably the best lager in the world' which is Carlsberg. But wasnt talking about Carlsberg, I was talking Carling. Dont matter.

Besides, Il keep my own memories of 80's TV. I wont have them sullied by the likes of Ant and Dec and their rediculously fine prizes.

Yeah, I realised it was Carlsberg as I sat down to watch MOTD. :oops:

Carling is rank. I tend to drink Stella, usually 5-8 pints then onto the spirits  :beers:

Tonight I started on the snakebites with and just after dinner, then went over to my mates flat and drank bottles of uri whilst playing a pro evo tournie (I won  8) ) then a shot of some apple stuff for every goal scored, then back to mine for a brew

  :chunder:

Is banana ale what you have when you go out on a bender?? :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

It's cockney rhyming slang!
Uri Geller = Stella

Wife beater

Carlsberg is disgusting, hate the stuff. I generally drink carling but mainly 'cos it's £1.50 a pint and stella tends to be about £2+. Have to drink it quickly though 'cos it takes so much longer than stella to get you pissed.

Can't beat vodka too.

Carlsberg and Grolsch are the 2 no go Lagers for me but i'll drink them if it gets desperate. :mrgreen:

Stella is putrid.

Carling Kronenbug and Stella

A dangerous concotion

 :evil:

rella stocks!!!

Sorry to piss on your strawberries, but I would rather lick my own arsehole than drink a pint of Stella.

i just had some Brazillian beer i found in Sainsburys called Brahma, quite good and made a change i guess...

I have really got into my wheat beers recently. Had this Austrian white beer last weekend, can't remember the name but it was 5.5% and was sweet as!

i like trying new stuff really.  I actually quite enjoy Sainsburys when you get to the ber section, there is a whole world of new stuff to, ahem, sample

Oddly, i was drinking that over the weekend. Was rather nice too

Did you know they sell a beer in Sainsbury's called Parkin's bitter.  I used to drink a can everytime he scored back in the day

tut tut

Parkins (although Sainsburys own brand) is actually brewed by Tetley's, and is surprisingly good.

Lowi's alright, Grolsch is nice, but I really love the ale, 2B's, 3B's, Tanglefoot, Bishops Finger, Bombardier, Spitfire all of the above please.

When I was working up the Jovial Monk once, some guy asked me what the difference between 3B and 2B's was, "I dunno" I replied "1B??".

2B's is Bitter Beer
3B's is Best Bitter Beer


Or something like that.

2B is best bitter, 3B is best bitter beer.  In theory they brew 3B longer it's a bit stronger, and percieved to be better although I prefer 2B myself.  Kingsdown is the premium ale, which is stronger and more expensive, althought the best is moonlight a special ale which is lovely, or bes arganic honey ale which is pleasant.

Ah, i was close then.

I do like a good ale, my regular favourite being a spot of Wadsworth 6X, where sold.

6X!!!  Bloody hell a few of those and I'm in trouble.

My Gramp got me into it one night in the Plough at Wanbrough a couple of years back on my 19th birthday!

6X, hard to find a good pint, I do enjoy summer ales nice and fresh without lager fizzyness.  Steam in old town has the best selection of ales from where I go, about 5 or 6 different ones each week, but Check Inn in Wroughton is meant to be superb, bit too far to walk IMO.

People always find it surprising when an under 25 drinks bitter, seen as an old mans drink i suppose but it tastes so much better than lager.

Ah, yes.  The Check Inn is a favourite of CAMRA, and is only a 2 minute car journey of a lunchtime.

I've been in the Gluey a couple of times, which was ok... opted for the mildly amusing "Leg Before Whippet".

Hand pumped Higson's bitter in the Wheatsheaf in Knotty Ash . Rich chestnut colour and a kick like a mule. :beers:

True.  All male relatives in my family drink proper ale though "none of that chemicals crap", so it was only natural that i followed suit.

I do drink like a refreshing lager though, and am very partial to the more extravagant ciders on offer.

2B or 3B? that is the real question :scribe:

Walk past that the glue pot on my way to work, looks a bit scary never gone in.

My Dad would say 3B!.

2B, (my Dad would say he'd prefer lager).

I can't stand lagers so I've always drank ales and bitters.

I used to drink John Smiths as it was easy to down when others wanted to leave the pub etc.
