Beer?

[User169]

A rather nice prezzie from 3bm.

I've been wanting to taste this for a while and it really is totes delish. Strong esters on the nose like Westmalle, but a less astringent more floral taste. Lovely balance and the 9% is well hidden.

I can see why it's well regarded - a kind of cross between Westmalle and Karmeliet Double yumtus!!

Is that for a pint????

If it is, that's cheaper than the cheapest place* I've ever been in

* for ref this is Hyde snooker club which has Sam Smiths at 1.99 a pint

You're too young. I paid 67p a pint for "bitter" in my college bar, 80p or so for Newly Brown and about 90p for Ruddles County.

Even in the pub, Morrells Old Tom was only about £1.15.

(Cue old gits reporting 1960s prices...)

You're probably a bit younger than me.

When I legally started 67p was normal pub price for a pint of Boddington's.

About 70p for me.....£1.99 a pint is the current price. Anyone fancy a frame?

Gimme a break, Nick...
Right on cue...
I've fallen on my sword so nobody else need be tempted to make any more crap puns

Are they putting that shite in the beer?

Sounds like a terrible waste of oysters to me

 

[User169]

Bloody hell. I thought oyster stout was a serving suggestion, not a recipe.

That was the original meaning - stout to be drunk alongside oysters.

Get yourself a bottle by all means kid, no need to tell us what beer with a big snotty phlegm lump in it tastes like though...

Berliner Weisse brewed with mate tea. Hhhm.

Another McGinty tip-off if anyone's interested in Fuller's Vintage Ale, they've cocked up on the label printing on some 2016's and are flogging them off at £4/bottle (you have to buy a case). That's not bad for this stuff, which is quite nice.

Is it like the dead rat that gets put in the cider vat?

Tempest put the shells in too.
