None for me either, but as it is my weekend, I did have a cheeky shot of Tia Maria in my hot chocolate :closed:
Tesco!!! Tesco's own Ginger Beer at 3.8% - far superior to Crabbies - it's brewed by Williams of Alloa who make some fabulous beer (Fraoch, Grozet, etc). Trouble is it's so good that Tesco will probably drop it fairly quickly (slightly hazy, too tasty) or make Williams alter the recipe for a less discerning clienteale (now there's a good misstype) so get it while you can - 3 bottles for £4!!!
Ok, this is serious. I'm a big Crabbies fan. Crabbies is 5% so Tesco's loses out there.....Quote:

Is it as strongly ginger flavoured, is it as sparkly, and is it more or less dry?
Scuse the inquisition but I would hate to be disappointed!
Yes I would like to know too. I found crabbies a bit sweet, but might have to try this here Tesco one. Is it more gingery? :thumbup:
Oh no I haven't DT. What is that one like? I can see I am going to have to dedicate some time to researching this subject :DQuote:

Franks is well worth a try. I prefer the Crabbies but there isn't much in it. :cool:Quote:

That's shocking! I had to part with £3.15 for a Golden Pippen today and it was served chilled! I asked why and apparently "that's how our customers like it", oh really. WEll this one doesn't and it shouldn't be served as such you 'orrible oik...... It's only £2.20 in my local.Quote:

Actually Mr Onehill had a pint of something almost as strong by Brewdog once, he soldiered on through about half, then gave up :o
That's not bad for a Thursday! I hope there was lots of gravy to go with that Harvest Pale?!Quote:

@onehill - Brew Dog's ales coming to the Narrow Boat soon - can't wait
Tonight, they had my favourite beer on - Jaipur.
Please don't visit the Boat cos they only have 4 barrels and I don't want anybody else drinking it!
Might be a trip out on Friday :)
Cumberland Ale and Copper something or other. hic.:)
Sounds like this is the same as Brewdog Hardcore IPA. Their Punk IPA is less strong but still wonderfully hoppy.Quote:

And finally - the best draft ginger beer I ever had was at a brewpub in the Glasgow suburbs called the Clockwork Beer Factory - this was a bit cloudy and over 5%.
Tesco man is bringing me a bottle of Tescos Ginger Beer and a bottle of Franks, so I can do an objective comparison :thumbup:Quote:

On the subject of Ginger Beer: it has to be Bundabergs with a splash of dark rum.
Anywho back to the Real Ale. It's a lottery tonight as Superflygal is buying a selection of bottles from the shop.
Nooo the alcoholic ginger beer is todays real ale for girls :w00t:Quote:

So c'mon then - what is everyone drinking tonight???
Woods Shropshire Lad
Titanic White Star - local brew from Stoke
Found a bottle of snecklifter. Def the last one
Dom I called at mars tons brewery the other day. Where do you bloody park. Yellow lines everywhere. I gave up.
Probably easiest to park on the carpark opposite at Shobnall Leisure Centre.Quote:

I've worked in one or two :)
Facer's Bendigedig at the Goldie. On the other side of the mountain it's Facer's Splendid but we're a bit Welsh over here.
Just settling down with a chicken balti and a couple of bottles of Batemans "Dark Lord" (those nice people at Morrisons have replenished their supplies).
Just enjoying a nice bottle of Tag Lag picked out for me by my 13 month old. Thanks son:)
Blimey L.F.F, I read that as ....picked UP by....!!
I had a a bottel of Brew Dog Punk IPA. which despite reservations about being over-marketed and a bit 'trendy' was very tasty indeed. I think I will be back down to Mozzers for a few more as they are on offer at the mo.
