some of the real ales are not so bad, like bishops finger or old speckled hen,

What would Ramadan have to do with me?

Anyway what I said is perfectly true, the beers I mentioned are brewed for profit not for quality.

If you must drink it here are some decent lagers

I could go on but it's like putting pearls before swine.

Don't you think it's somewhat tragic that many of you live in a country which has a unique beer tradition yet you prefer to drink bland poor quality crap served so cold you can't actually taste it? Don't even get me started on that magners **** you've all been lapping up like pigs at the trough.

Morons.

Shark Man

LOL. It's just too easy to get a rise with you.

At least it got you to make a better and more contributive post

Vapid

I find it disturbing that you get a 'rise' from me. However I'd ask again, what does Ramadan have to do with me?

Moving on I'm only too happy to share my epicurean knowledge with those that might benefit. Indeed I have a track record of doing so.

The standard stuff is just like all the other cheapies, acceptable but kind of ordinary, what you want is this stuff, used to nick it whilst I worked at Manchester airport on the bar, once the bosses went home just used to stand drinking free beer, obviously we took the most expensive.

Have not seen it for ages




Plus theres always the old tramp juice, which I sadly kind of like

decepticon

24 cans for £10 is more per can than 20 for £8

davegtt

awful tastes like watered down lager. Now Grolsch is a proper pint of lager

Sorry bout last night, I was rather hammered and tired.

stevencotton

Err .. show me a consumer product (and beer) that isn't produced with profit in mind? Moron.

Vapid

I for one wasn't claiming that consumer products aren't produced with profit in mind. Merely that in the case of the crap in question that the profit motive is the sole motive. No care about quality, integrity or producing a product with flavour.

Your complete lack of comprehension of these facts makes you the moron.

stevencotton

Your having to clarify your own moronic posts confirms it more. Thanks for confirming again.

Vapid

My having to elucidate the blindingly obvious for your benefit makes me believe that you are clearly the idiot.

sydsnot2002

so ne way does anybody know if u can still get the little bottles of gold label?

windyboy

I know that but I still only got 20 cans in the box, I would of liked a few more.

speedymonkey

What the fu*k
I like stella, so im an idiot
No offence but u sound like a bit of a ***, surly ur friends (if u have any) drink 'these so called premium largers' i

Vapid

You like stella, paying through the nose for a poor quality product merely makes you ignorant.

Revelling in such ignorance is what actually makes you stupid. That and the fact you're educationally subnormal.

As for the other question I can't think of many of my friends who choose to drink
Carlsberg, Stella, Kronenbourg or any of that other hyped up, over advertised yet poor quality expensive 'premium' crap.

Shark Man

May I ask you to provide evidence of what makes such a beer poor quality, and conversely evidence to show what makes one good quality

Jamescsti

My local sells them, so they are still available

Vapid

Ask and you shall be rewarded.

For a start it's brewed in local markets to save money. Anyone who knows anything about brewing will tell you that the 'liquor' is an important part of taste. In the UK Whitbread make this 'Belgian' beer. The stuff you buy in the UK doesn't taste anything like that you'd get in Belgium (not that it's great there either)
The UK version use less saas hops (that give it the flavour) and isn't brewed for as long a period of time. It also contains 20% "adjuncts"- whatever they are, I suspect sugar added instead of malt, cheaper to brew.
Furthermore it's part of Inbev (nee Interbrew) who are dedicated to producing homogenised brands and closing down interesting brewers, for that reason alone it should be avoided. Let alone the fact you're paying through the nose for a beer marketed as 'premium' that is in fact sub standard at best.

Belgian premium product? It's made in Luton and marketed to numpties as something of high quality, which it plainly isn't.

"Reassuringly Expensive" to buy but "reassuringly cheap to make"

A few years ago many of you drongos were drinking 'Hofmeister', nuff said.

Shark Man

Many years ago, I used to drink Brew XII and Skol

At least it was cheap

sydsnot2002

hurlimans is a nice pint as well

Stella isnt expensive anyway, 15 quid for 20 cans isnt expensive !

Vapid

In relation to the quality level it costs a fortune. In any case the real money is made out of getting morons to drink it at home, get used to accepting crap and then paying nearly £3.00 a pint for it in their local..............

Shark Man

£2 more per 24 can crate than a crate of carling (my standard for "basic" larger) is hardly a massive difference though. Not that I buy either, just I notice the prices whilst in the cash and carry.

richiewong

Still voted ****e but my favourite Carlsberg moment


Worth waiting for.

Vapid

Have to agree, maybe even stella out of a can would taste good after a spell in the desert.
