Done Deal

[McGrath]

I used to be quite partial to Woodbines also. Can't see United promoting those mind.

I'm sure you can probably 'vape' Woodbines. So yes we could have them.

 

[McGrath]

and Pyros.
Don't forget.....
NO PYRO NO PARTY !!!

Money shall not be stored in barrells either!

 

[SteveBlade]

No, they just think that they're of the elite because they don't drink anything that's not room temperature and doesn't have the consistency of soup.

Far more snobby and deluded than wine buffs.

Ah, I'll stick to mi lager.

At 'spoons they have signs saying that you can sample the ale, has anyone ever actually done it? Never seen anyone at the bar supping shot glasses of beer, or whatever they put it in.

 

[Pinchy]

Tap in.

Brewery Tap in?

 

[The Crab]

It'd probably pay more interest than my current account.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Not bad for bitter. Still served in Chapeltown club.

Magnet is? Might have to venture up there at some point. Used to love it but not found a pint in years.

Always do that.
Sample 12 real ales free. Buy a pint of Strongbow. Pissed as a cunt for £2.15.

All the above beverages are welcome, as long it annoys the cask-conditioned, IPA, "ooh it has a great hoppy finish" wankers

You're full of the joys of summer today, aren't you?

Paulaner and Dortmunder are the finest lagers in all humanity.

'Finest lagers' is up there at the top of the oxymoron list.

 

[Davalon]

Weak fizzy piss for slightly weaker fizzy piss.

There's an array of reasonable lager around even for someone like me who generally prefers proper beer and stouts.

May as well just serve shots of turps as people are only drinking it to get pissed, not enjoy it.

You could also have the 'extra cold' premium turps with frost forming on the pump for another £0.20 a pint.

Bloody 'Spoons will get in on the act and start selling own brand paint thinners at £0.99 / pint.

 

[SteveBlade]

I like Erdinger but the glass they serve it in is inappropriately long and makes me feel insecure.

 

[Chief_Froley]

Tap in.

Don't think I've been to that pub mate... Do they serve food?

Far preferable to a warm flat pint of "Tosspots Handbag" or whatever stupidly named concoction is flavour of the month amongst the CAMRA bretheren

It's also cloudy. Like a specimen with a bad dose of NSU.

Only Pickled Eggs and Crab Sticks.

So is it the temperature or the silly names that get your goat? Ale is not normally served 'flat' in these parts if a sprinkler is used, although if you prefer a massive CO2 injection, perhaps you'd be better with Tizer?

 

[Chief_Froley]

Crab Sticks.

What are you, some sort of gay crab?





I really hope The Crab gets the reference... Otherwise I might get banished to Blades Mad...

The fact that I find it horrible is secondary, as I appreciate that people have different palates. Stout and porter is technically ale after all, and it's glorious stuff.
It's the twattish, up-ones-own-arse culture that surrounds it that I find insufferable.
I'm a big whiskey enthusiast for example. Doesn't mean I consider myself superior to those who drink Bells or Teachers.

I LUUUUUUUURRRRRRRVVVE a Babycham.

I'm a big ale drinker but it is the knitted sandals thing that stopped me ever joining CAMRA. Too many worthy beards, and that's just the women.

Hmmm...

If you are such a 'whisky enthusiast' how come you can't spell it right? I'm thinking you are a Jim Beam and Jack Daniels kind of guy.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I'm informed Skol, Hofmeister and XXXX are signed on also.

All lager pipes are attached to the piss troughs anyway.

Does it matter what the pump claims it is?

Nope, I spell it the Irish way cos I'm biased.

You can do, you know. You'd be right.

Absolutely love Erdinger.

No insecurities about the glass here.

I'll accept a deliberate Oirish spelling if that's what it was. No Americanisms though......

It's nice looking to be fair. Got one but it's too tall for any of the cupboards.

Nobody likes a bragger, Steven.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

La Chouffe, Trappe, Erdinger, Lowenbrau and Leffe are my ideal tipples.

Surely this thread needs moving into the general chat!?
