i couldn't remember which it was for the [pedant smeeton none cold in the fridge apart from fosters and its been a while since i touched the stuff. my word is it rubbish. bleurch. the grolsch in the freezer should be cold now so i'll pour it down the drain. aaah, there's nothing more heartening than a night in on your own drinking whilst watching big brother (we need a suicide smiley)

I had a lash up last night of a mixture of Budvar and Kronenberg.....just starting to come round now. Here's the answer to your question Reg.....cheers Reg http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3188382.stm

I'm talking pubs and clubs....as you know we're pretty backward in Swiindonia. I use about 5 or 6 with varying degrees of regularity...then the very occasionals on the quiz circuit and only one does Budvar. Medium sweet cider sounds like a girls drink....but if its what you like then why not?

it may sound girly (and does taste quite like apple juice), but 7.3% for £2.40 a pint is good enough for me, i get it from our favourite local in norwich http://www.fatcatpub.co.uk/the only pub to win the CAMRA award twice apparently. ooh yes budvar is very hard to find in pubs, no chance in clubs. being in the student area in norwich we have 9 locals (all within 5mins walk of the doorstep!) and one of them has it on draught.

I suppose that's an impressive award...when we get Norwich in a cup then we'll know where to find you....( I say this every year knowing we'll not get past the 1st round in any)

My old local replaced the American stuff with Budvar about 9 years ago.
Back at the time though it was still called Budweiser but I think the Yanks forced them to change their name.
Being a fan of the American piss I’m ashamed to admit that I thought it an attempt to shift some knock off Eastern European cheap stuff and still charge normal prices.
Took a while to get used to but a cracking drink. Much prefer a Corona in this weather though.
What is the beer made with Tequila called?
