Yes, you philistine cunt.

 

It would probably be an English Rose infusion; tea pot and loose leaf.

 

Die in shame you uncultured peasent retard.

[Robbo29]

just realised that hte tea was really Da Hong Pao, forgive me for my previous ignorance

[stringvest]

Just been thinking about you, stringvest, as I begin the task of trying to reclaim my garden. Its been a bit neglected but I've made some progress this afternoon. Just stopping for a mug of tea ( always M&S Gold for me) and a piece of cake, which I'm going to have sat out in the sun

haha - My garden is a mess at the mo - it even has a flaming brazier in it as I'm having some serious building work done and it's bloody freezing....

 

I shit you not...

For another thread, but that does look serious....and your beautiful garden!

I'm not sure that makes me feel better or worse. Just sorry for you. You've just got to play the long game with these things

[stringvest]

it'll be done by August. The scaffolding cost a bomb, but it means the house is completely covered and they work come rain, wind or shine. Which is just as well, as three quarters of the house doesn't have a roof and most of the upstairs walls have gone.

 

I will be enjoying some real ale tonight though. Hogs Back TEA. Liquid bliss.

[ph245]

I've been off the lager for over a year & have been drinking real ale ever since.

I don't get hangovers from it & I enjoy every pint... my local does a great pint of Pedigree, Hobgoblin & has guest beers too.

 

It's also interesting when you go to a pub you've never been in before & have a nice choice to choose from.... much better than the Fosters/Carling/Stella cycle you get on the lager.

Repped for turning your back on gayism and bad taste

[Redder Lurtz]

My local got some of the chilli chocolate stout in at the weekend. Marvellous stuff.

[Mathewbet1]

its true you get much less of a hangover with quality real ale. Due to lack of chemicals of the mass produced stuff. Formaldehyde is a by product of a bad brew. Its the preservatives they but in mass produced stuff that gives you a headache.

[stringvest]

yep. Kronie 1664 guaranteed to leave me with a migraine - even half a pint of the shite.

[fruitbat]

up round my way (melling, lydiate, maghull and ormskirk) most of the pubs have one or two local real ale on handpump

 

lot better than that gassy water tasting lager

[mrw74]

A good recommendation is the beers made by The Hop Studio in York. They have 4 varieties, Pilsner, XC, Gold and Blonde. Well worth hunting down and trying.

[Fink]

Us beers are boss at the mo. Anchor porter is just amazing if you can find it. Just moved back to ormskirk from sheffield. I was spoiled in sheffield by the thornbridge brewery pubs but its good to see the hop vine opening near by...i have a beard. It grew when i graduated from lager.

[Redder Lurtz]

I was on some of this last night. 4.3% "Bumble Beer" from the Wentworth Brewery near Rotherham. Delicious.

 

[Rushies tash]

For those of you who live in the area, there's a cracking ale walk from Twickenham to Richmond. You start on the cobbled street in Twickenham and each pub on the way does a different set of niche and generic pump ales. Done it a few times, stopping and trying something different in each one. Always end up at the Ship in Richmond. Battered.

I used to live in Wentworth...lovely part of the world. They do some decent beers for somewhere so pokey

To be honest you can do a real ale tour almost anywhere in the UK as long as you follow a pub route along a Canal or River. Got some absolute crackers in Milton Keynes.

This - most of my worst ever hangovers have been down to Kronenbourg.

 

One of the great pleasures/compensations of travelling somewhere else in the country are the local ales. I've washed up in a few shitholes and then seen a Banks or a Marstons sign outside a pub and all of a sudden it doesn't seem too bad.

That Harp Irish shite used to knock fuck out of me. Head throbbing like a cunt for the next day.

 

Dreadful stuff.

[RedKnight]

Had some Harvest Pale from Castle Rock Brewery yesterday. Really nice blonde beer.

[Hand Shandy]

Castle Rock do some good beers...

 

Screech Owl and Preservation are very nice.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Kentish ales are shite.

Really like indian pale ales though. Drink a shit load no problem.

 

This.
