Title: Arkells Pilsner.
Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 18:04:41
Just to say this is on sale at the CGH, its cheaper than Carling and it tastes a better (to me anyway).

Its great news for lager louts like me to be able to get behind a local brew.

If you're a lager drinker give it a go, because Im sure it must be tough for Arkells to compete these days and its good to support a Swindon company?

Arkells Czech Style Pilsner is my favourite lager but I am a fan of Budvar, Pilsner Urquell etc. Lovely stuff. I only drink this if it is available! LUSH!

Got myself a crate of Arkell's Noel Christmas Ale from Magnum in the build-up to Christmas.

Bloody lovely stuff.

Will certainly give it a whirl next week, although to say it's better than Carling is hardly a compliment!

3.8, same as Carlsberg.

Thats OK for all day drinking, not good enough for a proper binge though.

Fucking hell Spence !


If you dont class all day drinking as a proper binge then I must be a right lightweight

When I go all day drinking with the football I take it steady, pint about every 45 minutes.

A proper binge to me is when you go out in the evening and sink 4 pints in the first hour and then go on from there.

Czech Pilsner is usually 5% by definition is it not?

Its a lager brewed in Swindon, and it tastes fine.

Thats all you need to know.

I had a pint at lunch time. I have to say, it surpassed my expectations. A very good local lager and it may tempt me into the County on match days to sample it once more.
