Greedy profiteering! I could buy 3 pints of John Smith's in my local for that price!*


*I don't actually know if I could. I never set foot in my local.

I had a couple of Oskar Blues beers from Tesco at the weekend (Dales and IPA) and I was really impressed with them.

Having said that I could pickle myself in Clwb Tropicana, it's beautiful.

I think I'm the only one who's not a fan of Clwb Tropicana. Just tastes like sherbert to me.

I felt a bit cheated when I found out it had fruit juice in it.

Oh no, I didn't know that.

 

[machin05]

Oh no, I didn't know that.

Yep. It's listed in the ingredients on the can. Strangely, when it was bottled it didn't. Not sure if the recipe has changed or they got slapped wrists for not declaring it previously.

Ultimately, I think about that kinda shit far too much and if it tastes good then it tastes good.

I prefer IPAs without added fruit though. I like the hops to provide that flavour. Feels a but cheaty to put actual fruit in!

I don’t care what they put in it to be honest, it’s fucking lush!

No idea if they are 'beers' to you lot or what but decided I'd try something new (usually drink Holsten Pils and gin), grabbed 3 bottles of Brewdog for a fiver from Tesco. Elvis Juice, Kingpin, Dead Pony Club (nice name)

Tried the Elvis Juice. It was... Way nicer than I expected. I have this idea that they're all strong and odd tasting [compared to lager] but it was nice. Never really tried anything but lagers so...

 

[Boozad]

Elvis Juice is lush, I’ve always got a few on the beer shelf. Pop in Asda and try the Vocation range they have, if you like Elvis Juice you’ll like them. Life & Death and Pride & Joy.

They've got Slot Machine in Sainsbury's, £6 for four cans. Really strong rye malt flavour for those who like that sort of thing.
