Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

Marble are being asked to "reconsider the name" of their beer; "Pint", which has been brewed for donkeys' years, because it now comes in 500ml cans.

I remember this starting last summer and it was alleged that the original complainant was a disgruntled customer who tweeted Trading Standards.

I wonder what they'll call it?

I'd rename it 'feck off Trading Standards and Manchester city council'.

They could name it it after the City Council executive member for neighbourhoods, a certain Mr Murphy but I think that's taken

They could say it’s ok as it’s a very generous American pint. So feck off.

Good point; there are loads of cans of imported American beer on the shelf in my local and they all say "1 Pint" on the side but they're not are they!

Given the amount of fruit infused shite that is posted on here I am going to report this thread to trading standards

No mention of Cloudwater IPL's which are OK, I suppose, if you like that kind of thing.

I might look out for the Drygate Chimera next time I am in Sainsbury's.

Five of the recommendations are supplied by Beer Hawk (AKA AB Inbev).

Yes, I noticed that; in their defence I suppose they wanted readily available stuff - you're not going to find Cloudwater in Sainsbury's (at least not yet).

For accuracy's sake, maybe they should delete the work "best" from the headline.

How on earth did king pin get on there! That has to be one of the most disappointing beers I've tried, but then again it is lager!

Wasn't it Crax who took his dog to the pub?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

after extensive craft beer tasting in Vancouver tlh has determined that craft pilsners are her thing. Boo decided pilsners were ok but she'd rather an IPA, or, preferably a BC Pinot Noir. Evenually we decided cava/prosecco was a good compromise.

I've just emptied the kitchen of beer and put it all in a crate in the loft as beer block enters day five. Didn't realise quite how much I have in the house.

Just one crate?
