Agreed. A good pint of Tennents is immense.

Was wandering past the new Malones at Haymarket on Friday and popped in and had a pint of their Tennents tank beer, not impressed. The Innis & Gunn stuff in Platform 5 was very good though.
Started on the dark rums recently, very much a virgin in this field. Got bottles of Kraken, Applewood and Dark Matter in the house. Kraken is great, Applewood also nice seems to be a pub drink and Dark Matter is just a bit spicy for me, I can imagine to would be great for a hot toddie though!
Any other rum drinkers that can recommend some?
I'm not much of a rum drinker but I've always got a bottle of Kraken in the freezer.
A double shot, straight up from the freezer, you cannae whack it!
There's a science being alcohol, evaporation, dilution with water and aromatics being released at different temperatures but ice cold Kraken is like drinking a shot of grown up cola!
Havana club and Ron mulata are what I’ve got on the go...not chilled but over ice.
Oak heart is a lovely drink though.
Imported beers used to be good when they first started to arrive.
Gilded Balloon used to have a great range that I never quite managed to work my way through.
Red Stripe was good when it was imported and so was Rolling Rock but now they’re all made in Burton-on-Trent just like all the other marketed brands and they all taste the same as Carling.
I've been enjoying Lagunitas IPA. Also a beer called Pliney the elder made in California, well they both are.
Tried Hobgoblin gold that I came across lately. Nice I thought.
That is actually nearly unbelievable. I think you could probably get close to £50 a bottle here for Pliny the Elder.
I've had it a few times - really good - but so much has caught up with it in the last few years. Insanely jealous of you being anywhere close to Russian River! Lagunitas IPA isn't a scratch on it - Heineken sellouts!
Not a bad wee selection there!
