Late last year I went to the darts final at the civic, walked the others to Slaters and it was closed. This was on a Sunday afternoon with a lot of people out for a gallon before the evening session, well, final.
89p in the Asda near where I work
No bicycle on the wall for a start.
I was there last season for the league game and agree it's an amazing place for away fans. All the pubs in the city centre were away friendly but without it feeling like a soft town we were taking over (like when we go to Watford and Fulham). The concourse was actually a nice place for a beer too, with views across the back of the town. We stayed the night and the Tyne Bar might just be my favourite pub!
Yeah, I think it's still 90p in Tesco in Southend but I rounded up. Decent tipple.89p in the Asda near where I work
Sorry both **** mass produced rubbish. Slaters sold first rate beer. I defy anybody not to think Haka is a class pint. And well priced. As someone who comes up from Cambridge and always went to Slaters you lot don't know how lucky you were.
*******s mate. Doombar is a decent pint, nothing fancy but being mass produced doesn't necessarily render it rubbish. Some of the Midlands ales deserve to be more widely available though: UBU is decent, the Saddlers stout is nice and Purity make a nice ale.
Sorry but Doombar is crap since Anhauser Buch bought it to pretend they are part of the craft ale movement. Purity is UBU. It's such a shame that the beer inside Molineux is such utter crap and I include Bank's in a tin in that. Microbreweries and small local brewers are the only sector in the beer market still growing and not all their customers are bearded posers. Wake up and smell the hops man
I'm a socialist so always keen to stick one in on multinational crap. But it tastes the same to me? Have they changed the recipe then? I don't want to be seen as a Doombar fan, I just think it's an okay beer tis all - available down here in the ****ty South and when it's regularly piped through tends to be okay?
Was that Heros? Used to go there, pound a pint on Tuesday games.
Banks’s isn’t the best but, as you say, decent. Especially at 90p so I always have a few in my beer cupboard.
It does. Hang your head in shame.
Grainstore has been there ages now
I'll be in there Sat night have cut off me face hahahaThey should open Gorgeous for a few hours on Saturday's wen wim at hum.
Bonks's is a decent 'golden ale'. I'm not suggesting it's amazing just that it's a solid ale and a tasty one at that so to dismiss it in the same breath as nasty lagers is simply saft.
Go to the Turf next time. It's considered one of the last traditional mid terrace victorian pubs in England.
But i don't drink a particular beer,I drink wat I fancy on the day/night I'm out.It can be bitter,(Smith's is me fav)but can drink a bod if it's kept well.Lager is ok but I do only like carling. Bottles of bud gew down well and I like Desperados,Bells whiskey,Jaeger bombs,greenfrog shots, and not forgetting me Guinness.Laverly. oh and a bottle of dark fruit cider at half time. I ay a fussy drinker.He might meet Enzo Sausage therePut some make up on and no one will notice ya.
Same here, they do say variety is the spice of life. But keep the jaeger bombs away from me please...I ay a ale drinker as it gives me a furry tongue.
As a camra member, craft ale isn't proper beer. As a beer drinker, I do not care as long as it tastes nice. But, yea, craft ay proper cause its dead pasteurised crap with no "still alive" yeast in it.... and is aimed and people with no socks and **** beards who vape a lot that think craft means real.
No it ay
I started buying bottles of Ale so I could sample some in the comfort of my home.Some I liked @ Blue moon wor bad and some of the speckled hen *******s wor bad either. I tested one called Black country stout or something like that ? and I found it very heavy.Ony had half the bottle. I dow mind that golden glow though but couldn't have many else me head would roll.
