I don't hate all cheap scuzzy lager but fosters really is horrible.
I feel like I've drank too much of that over the years. I'm not going to say it's alright but it's everywhere and usually cheap. Tastes ok but I've since realised how gassy it is.

Only had two of these.
I've had:
Big Raspberry Dog Chew, which is wonderful.
The Cone, which I liked quite a lot.
Bomber IPA - bangin'.
Marmalade on Rye which I recall being interesting without being weird for the sake of it.
Ossian, which is absolutely not as good as being in that list would suggest but it's fine.
And both of the Fallen ones are thoroughly decent IPAs.
I have had the chance to have Mexicake but I'm not keen on chilli stouts/porters.
As much as they're bastards there isn't enough Brewdog in that list.
I lie, I haven't had New World Odyssee before but I had a can in the fridge, that's why I thought I had. Just opened it and it's okay but a bit average. More exciting reviews as I write them,
Just popped into the pub and you can hardly get in the door so I've got my self a bag of Smithwicks Blonde.
Why would they make the door so small?
Planning permission I'd say.Quote:

Doghouse going Irish.
Had any @Giggles?
Plumped for a third of the Boundary. It's smashing.
Off out for tea. "I don't mind if you have two or three." Yes! But Ale or go Guinness while it's Paddy's "weekend"?
Where are you going?Quote:

RIOJA. I'm not a huge fan, but there's nowt else here. G&T at the pub probably.

Had Ciroc Snap Frost. As initially strong as Smirnoff or some other shit vodka but has a really bizarre lovely aftertaste. Strangely it tastes...mild (?) After the initial ethanolness.

Going round my mates to see his new house and taking these, which are leftover from Christmas:

All four have the word 'refreshing' on the label. I'ma be soooo refreshed. :youpi:
Got some Irish ones in to discuss with @Giggles later.

I've been debating whether to get a few myself and you've just convinced me to.Quote:

First up is Eight Degrees' "Knockmealdown" which is....... alright. Nowt special but perfectly quaffable.
EDIT: next is The White Hag's "The White Sow." It's alright. Bit disappointing.
I quite like that one. I've done a bit of work in their brewery in Cork before and was given a few. The whole range isn't bad.Quote:

Ian gets some Irish booze, Giggles trumps Ian's massive image. Good job, lads. A nice little exchange.
I never know because on mobile they all look the same size. For such a popular image site, you'd think imgur would have resizing options anyway.Quote:

Something called Wolf Rock, chosen because it looked like the only thing that wasn't lager. Rather nice.
I tried basic honey Mead yesterday at a market. It wa stunning. He said you can mix it with gin. :drool:
What's mead?
Honey-booze. it's quite nice.
Would it be anything like that honey Jack Daniels then?
:harold:
Well when it came from you I was dubious it was of any quality. All fur coat and no knickers.Quote:

I can't even imagine what it tastes like, as fermented honey probably doesn't taste like honey any more. I'll ask next time I'm in the pub seeing as all the wankers have ruined G&T.Quote:

Exhibit A (even if it was deliberate).
A happy coincidence that both ways you can take that apply.
Never doubt you. The world has gone mad on poncing it up. If it gets any worse it'll near be impossible to get a pint.
Also, sort it out Keeks. I don't want to give up booze.
Oh my days. :drool:Quote:

Goose Island: 312 - quite lemony wheat beer. Nice enough for a Spring evening
I had that in a pub in Liverpool, it was pretty good.
Tonight I have 4 cans of Bud Light as it was all was in the fridge at the shop :cool2:
Mike knows.
Cold > flavour.
