330ml IPA in Garish Can

[Shit Good Nose]

I hate myself for being very fond of Hawkes ciders - made by hipsters (one of whom I believe was involved with the abhorrent Icecreamists brand), big on its "yeah mate, made in Laaahndon using apples grown in the centre of Laaahndon mate" USP, a skull as their logo (rolls eyes), terrible names (Dead and Berried, Doom and Bloom, Elephants On Ice, etc - rolls eyes again), they even do a beer-cider hybrid...but they make REALLY nice cider.

Mind you, could get thoroughly drunk for not much more than a tenner.

This is still pretty much possible. Two recent pubs I've been into have had some kind of cask beer around 5-6% for under £4. And the Sports bar I was in last night was selling Carling for £2.

Four pints of Jaipur or 7 pints of Carling bleurgh is surely enough to get the average human well oiled

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

or this. six of these will knock you on your arse & give you a goodly clear-out the next morning.

"flock of starlings in there with you?"
"no, I was on the .... urgh.... theakston's... ugh.... last night. one too many, maybe."

Love Olde Peculier in winter but if I had to drink no other beer than this for the rest of my life I'd be perfectly happy. Probably.

AIDS-tier beer

Oh right. So this is what they serve at the new Spurs stadium and all the people on the forum I read are going crazy about.

[Norton Canes]

Got one of these lined up for this evening. Day can't go quick enough.

[BlodwynPig]

the one & only.

everything else get fucked.

Changed the recipe - authentic dog now found only in North Macedonia where i was integral in setting up the import side of things

[BlodwynPig]

Is this now Beers thread 2?

[Norton Canes]

Not all craft beer cans are garish, I quite like these from Union:

[BlodwynPig]

I only go for interesting designs

[shiftwork2]

I only drink beer that comes in shoes.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

^ That one really is gloopy one note shit drunk by people who sneer at lager but are happy consuming something even less interesting that costs £5.50 instead of £3.50.

AIDS-tier beer? Not really but definitely in the overrated category.

[Shit Good Nose]

I only drink cum from shoes.

Ew.




(...so do I......)

Now that's a fine, fine beer.

Weihenstephaner did a hoppy Hefeweizen collaboration with a US brewery recently, which seemed out of character for such a traditional brewery. Called Braupakt, I believe. Worst beer they've brewed by a country mile, in their case probably for centuries.

[phes]

Correct. Now disowned by much of the craft beer scene/industry on account of selling half the company to Putin or Gervais or Katie Hopkins or someoneorother i forget now. It's a totally acceptable beer that once was better. If you've been drinking Carling or John Smith's at the football then you probably have every right to be raving about it

[poo]

Spunk on this, fuckfaces

You can buy this for £1.66 a tin. Not that expensive.

It's not the best example of a modern ipa but it's ok.

This thread is bleak. Not everyone wants to drink warm British pond water or authentic Czech pilsners. It's a fucking golden age of beer right now so stop moaning. Lots of people like garish tins.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

True. Tricky even at Sam Smiths these days as that's only 5 pints of low strength bitter.

Spoons though, cans of Bengali are £1.99. 5 of those will get you going. Or upjazz to 3 Resins.

Not in a bar though.

People who pretend beers with only one flavour that's like hoppy Fanta are better than complex beer that doesn't have the right zeitgeist cache or branding are worse. The deluded man is worse than the curmudgeon.

Also I am very happy with the beer scene to be fair, I just dislike how we've thrown out the baby with the bathwater. Great trad beer from Germany, Belgium, and UK marginalised at the expense of many far worse beers is not something worse celebrating. Cask ale being marginalised when we are virtually the only country in the world that does it is not something worth celebrating.

In fairness it's now come full circle so very unhoppy beers are in, but they apparently must be some variant of pale ale that looks like murky sick and is again, one-note. Rather than yknow, all the styles you never see in a craft pub, eg.

Munich Dunkel
Rotbier
Kellerbier
Altbier (very few exceptions)
Schwarzbier
Maibock
Bock
Leipziger Gose
Doppelbock (very few exceptions)
Rauchbier (very few exceptions)
Dunkelweizen
Weizenbock
Polotmavy
13° Lezak
Dubbel
Tripel
Quadrupel (very few exceptions)
Strong Blonde
Strong Dark Ale

Funnily enough, the rare occasions I have seen craft brewers try these they have been decidedly average or totally missing the point.

In fairness I've seen Grodziskie a few times recently.

If you're not drinking beer in vessels >= 500ml then you might as well put on a skirt and drink Babycham.

Know what I love? What I really, really love??







GERRIN THE FUCKIN' BEERS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jerzy Bondov]

Seem to have disappeared from my Waitrose in favour of Northern Monk and Tiny Rebel which is a shame as I really like And Union especially that Neu Black lager.

[Chollis]

Lads will we just get the fuckin beeeeers in tonight

[Cuellar]

Can I just shock you?

I like beer.

My local keeps selling me cheap stuff he can't sell. The last one was Tiny Rebel's dutty which is a Vermont ipa that fits your description. No idea who he thought was going to spend £4 on a small can of bog standard contemporary 4% ipa. Happily bought them for £1 each though.

The current trend is pretty unexciting I agree. Beers like Odell's IPA and St Lupulin, Sierra Nevada's various specials, Buxton's Axe Edge/Wyoming Sheep Ranch, Thornbridge's Jaipur etc got me into the more heavily hopped styles of beer and I still find them a lot more interesting than the low bitterness fruit juices that are dominating fridges.

I've got to stop drinking tiny rebel's novelty beers. Last night I ordered what I thought was a pale and it turned out to be a jam donut APA. Revolting and about the third tiny rebel I've had that's been undrinkable.

I think they do union in wholefoods? havent been there for a while but their weissbier is great.

Dont know how people are complaining about gamma ray. i love it. were they bought out? i thought they were founded by the son of robert plant or someone like that?

[Cuellar]

It tastes of chemicals and spit

[pancreas]

Can I just shock you?

I like beer.

From the Spurs chat I have been reading, they were bought by Heineken?

Yeah, they've gone too far down the wacky, fruity rabbithole.  They already had the alcoholic Um Bongo thing nailed with Clwb Tropicana, and that was enough, frankly.  Cwtch is lovely, though.  Prefer it out the can, mind.  Fight me.

You say that as if I wouldn't.
