Beer

[machin05]

The fact they've started calling it "Amber" means they're more concerned with marketing and branding than actual contents of the glass....

I think Titanic Brewery is too small to be classed as a mass market brewery. Joules too.

Both brew great drinks IMO.

Indeed (with the exception of Plum Porter [emoji6]).

 

[leedswolf]

I don't actually mind the Amber, so for 90p a bottle, I usually chuck a couple of bottles in the shopping basket.

I would chuck them in the sea. I would sooner use the £1.80 towards something better.

Uhuh, I think this might be the type of post Frank was referring to

I don't know. He's on my ignore list. There is some tongue in cheek [emoji6]

 

[Tredman]

Who said that?

Indeed. It is just that kind of comment that makes me wonder why certain people consider themselves to be superior to others on this thread.

I was only messing Frank, I don't think there is any need to take things seriously. Beer is beer and everyone likes what they like.

I'm not embarrassed to admit I like both Banks's and Boddingtons and don't give a fuck who doesn't like them :icon_lol:

It takes me back to when I was married first time, we didn't have much spare money at first and so every Saturday night was treat night. Down to Fordhouses to the pub for a couple of pints of Banks's Mild and a beef and mustard sandwich. :icon_lol:

 

[Lycan]

Banks's is just vaguely malty and kinda sweet. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just dull. I've no problem drinking it if there's nothing more exciting available (I always get a Banks's at half time at Molineux for example) but I could say the same about any number of cheap beers like Tennents or Guinness. It's beer. I like beer.

It's absolute fucking swill compared to even an average craft beer or a properly brewed/conditioned real ale though.

I used to drink a lot of Banks’s mild in the late 90’s and early 2000s because I used to play darts for my old man. As I was still at school and didn’t have a lot of cash, invariably I had to drink what he would buy me and as he was a cheapskate Mild it was. Wouldn’t touch the stuff with a 30ft pole these days as I prefer other things, but wouldn’t castigate someone for drinking it either. Used to give me really terrible smelling farts too.

It did me too but I used to blame it on the cat.

I don't believe anybody thinks they're superior by drinking craft ale. Look at the state of the hipster wankers for a start.

I don't know why you have a problem with people slating your favourite type of ale, especially when you have no problem slating the price of craft beer and the brewers motives. One rule for one....

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I can't believe anyone would seriously be offended or even care if others said they didn't like the drink that you were drinking :icon_lol: Surely you just say "Oh. Well that's up to you. I like it" and that's it?

That said if anyone meets me and starts seriously bigging up any of the Wolves players on the list​ then I reserve the right to put you through the fucking wall. Serious business.

Fair play. There again don't be surprised if you are challenged either.

I was always a fan of Big George, just something about that little feint he used to pull where he’d let the ball run across him...

Then again I also have all of Starsailors albums.

We're going to have a problem here.

I get an involuntary shudder every time I see Bennett do his carbon copy of the Stearman dragback. Harrowing memories.

If you did that and spilled my pint of Banks's Mild then we're at war, Sonny Jim.
