[Lancs Harp]

So especially after todays epic, what drink have you got on the go?

I'm on a glass of South African Pinotage. Its not bad.

Half a dozen afternoon pints of Staropramen in Robbies was a most enjoyable way to dissect the game whilst watching the two English derbys on TV.

I wouldn’t be able to watch anything after 6 pints of that

Just had a realy nice double ipa by beerbliotek.

Now having a magic rock and thornbridge collaboration ipa, good effort from two good breweries.

[Lancs Harp]

Pint of paraquat tonight.

[Tornadoes70]

Having several drinks tonight of my weekend usual of Vodka and Pepsi Max/Coke Zero. This weekend is the slightly stronger 40% Russian Standard brand. Very nice indeed to sit and relax with and take the edge off.

GGTTH

Cutty sark and soda.

Nice glass of pignoletto as well.

[Peevemor]

I managed to resist the urge to hit the toilet duck & coke.

[Lancs Harp]

Cup of tea presently. This weekends results have had a sobering effect.

Got a bottle of La Vieille Ferme in for this evening though.

You're a stronger man than me

[DH1875]

Ive been on the Buckfast tonight

[Scouse Hibee]

Old Rosie, got a 17 pint box/bag in the fridge...... perfect.

[snooky]

A couple of pints of Belhaven Best then home for a nightcap goldie.
That's my natural order of course.

[Killiehibbie]

A large Aberfeldy along with the highlights, not sure which has the smoothest finish.

It is actually not too bad HC, nice and chilled it goes down well

[Hibee87]

I used to drink coors light or whatever beer was on offer in asda, but recently its tasted like all i can describe as piss water. Im not a snob or anything, i still enjoy tennents, stella bud etc but coors really tastes awful to me now.

Ive really been enjoying the hop house lager or schehallion recently

[Hibrandenburg]

Becks have started doing an IPA. Had a few last night and they were pretty decent.

[sleeping giant]

Carling out of a plastic pint glass

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

2 cans of Elvis Juice in Darlo 'Spoons for a fiver which is nice!

[lyonhibs]

Currently a pint of "O'clock time out" a most palatable French pale ale. In Paris right by Gare de Lyon.

Ooooh la la indeed.

[Craig_HFC]

I like a fancy continental lager as much as the next man but in all honesty nothing beats a ice cold, well poured pint of Tennents.

Can't beat a good pint of Tennents. However when you get a bad one... it's really really bad.

To be honest, these 'fancy continental lagers' are no more fancy than Tennent's in reality. Heavily marketed pish water - i.e. Becks, Kronenberg, Stella, Peroni etc. We are conditioned to believe they are 'premium' beers, but they're really not. I used to get sucked into that belief too!

I agree on those beers.

But the Czech pilsners now. Come to daddy!

Everybody drinks them in Czecho. Even the old dears.

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 really liked Castlemaine XXXX when it first appeared over here but, as you say, it followed a similar path to the ones you've mentioned. Budweiser in the wee stubby cans was much better than the bottles, then they went downhill too.
