Which beer you miss and ones you Shouldn't

LOL, posh, they're made by sand dancers between South Shields & Jarrow on the Bede Industrial Estate

Just shows you the levels I had to stoop to, although at least they're not yet made by a ten year old earning 50p a day.


And you must be either a mackem or smogie with a comment like that. 🤣

I must show you where the toilets are, next time.

Ind Coope Burton Ale. 5.2% IIRC but went down easily and too much didn't give a hangover. Popular in the pub I worked and drank in (Cottage by the Brook, Stafford) in the 80s

If I found a time machine and had one journey, it would be to head back to a time and pub where Ind Coope Burton Ale was sold, foregoing the trip to the bookies to place a bet on a cup final I remembered.

Was never really into ales or proper beer as a yoof growing up. It was always lagers.

Now when I go to the pub which is seldom, I can't seem to buy a beer under 5.5% and a lot of beers at local are ridiculously strong flavoured, very hoppy, bitter craft ales.
Since cancer I don't want high alcohol content. Just a nice weak Pale Ale or a cask bitter at around 2.4% like I ignored most of my life. Seems like I really missed out.

BTW most alcohol free beers taste of pee, too fizzy and too much sugar that spike my blood glucose.

Green king IPA is around 3.4% as is Old Session Hen - morrisons are selling that at £1 a bottle. On the lager side Rosa Blanca mallorca lager is also 3.4% and very refreshing.

On the low/ no beers I've found Lucky saint to be decent drinking (lager and an IPA), Guinness 0% is as close to the real thing as you get but obviously a stout!

Agree Guinness 0% very good.

Another range worth looking for is Drop Bear. They do four 0.5, a lager, a pale ale, an IPA and a stout. Not too sweet and GF as well if that’s important. Asda, Tesco in Wales (apparently) Ocado or direct from the brewery, which is how I buy it

You mean it's supposed to look like that ! I thought it was a pint of Jeyes fluid at first !
I have an aversion to looking at green stagnant water.
