Sounds like you had Strongbow.

 

You should try some made with apples, not farts.

Haha. It was a local craft one. Can't recall the name of it.

That's the fucker, Col.

Beer was terrible when I was going out. Carling, fosters, John smiths and Gunness, that was about it. 

 

If it was draught I always preferred Kronenberg. Never liked Stella, smells like pot. Always made me laugh the way people described it as rocket fuel and it was about 0.8% stronger than fosters.

I drink Guinness when I'm out mainly.

Cider snobs are a bit of a new thing arent they? People who drink cider you've never heard of and say stuff like "I bet you're a lager dinker aren't you?".

 

I am, but I also happen to know your wife got fingered by your best mate from the cricket club, me Mrs told me and swore me to secrecy so perhaps you should be thankful I don't drink the strong stuff.

Yeah, I don't know. I had four pints of Stella once and was absolutely wrecked, as bad as if I'd drank a bottle of vodka. I can't explain it.

Draught Stella in Leuven is lovely like.

All sorts of variables. The most drunk you'll ever feel is half way through your first pint on a summer's evening on a Friday after work when you're driving. I'd be up in the pub bogs making helicopter noises while I'm swirling the stream around. Give me an 80 euro Falaraki fishbowl filled with methylated spirit though and I could pick flowers with a JCB.

The last time I drank Stella was on an empty stomach at a work do, Christmas '96. Wasn't my intention. My bus got me there a fair bit early so I had a couple of pints on my own. Our food then took literally hours to arrive, so several more before eating anything. Fatal. I was working for Next as a Xmas temp. My boss at the time thought he was Bob Mortimer. Sat lording it at the head of the table, lapping up the tiny bit of power and interest it gave him from temp girls half his age, pretending he couldn't hear them and leaning in close as he could for every word. Openly dismissive of any younger lads though, oddly enough. 

 

At one point some water bombs came out from somewhere and he said that if anyone threw one at him they'd get punched in the face. I exploded one directly onto his glasses probably less than 3 seconds after he said that. He didn't punch me, but did inform me he'd be immediately relieving me of my duties. I threw chicken fajitas all over him at that point. I was 19 and definitely being an absolutely horrendous fucking tit, so I've never drunk Stella again. Ever.

 

Better to burn out than to fade away though. Smug little herbert.

When you became aware of cider ‘snobs’ as you call them I expect was exactly the same time people tried to call perry cider, the introduction of Magners/Bulmers, carling cider, Stella cider or fucking kopparberg. 
 

All of which are undrinkable. 
 

There’s loads of top quality small cider producers up to as far north as Herefordshire, on top of that you have the likes of Thatchers, Stowford Press and Westons that make large scale decent ciders. 
 

There’s nothing snobbish about telling some daft cunt drinking strongbow or strawberry and lime kopparberg it’s not cider.

It’s barely fit for human consumption, to be honest. Probably needs a prescription for it as use as a laxative.

Yeah, I think if you've ever lived anywhere where they make it a stone's throw away, and it actually tastes of apples, it's normal that you aren't going to be buying Bulmers.

 

Bigger difference between shit cider and nice cider, than there is between shit lager and nice lager.

Im going to be around Tiverton, Down St Mary, Witheridge and Crediton on holiday for a couple of weeks in 10 days time.

Oh I don't know about that. The gap between Morretti and Carlsberg is equivalent to Margot Robbie and Gail Platt off Corrie.

I’d agree with Jairzinho, shit lager as long as ice cold I could still force it down. 
 

Shit cider is so fucking sweet it’s undrinkable.

That must be the first time anyone has ever been on holiday in Crediton.

 

I'm contemplating a trip back to the UK in August. Depending on the virus situation at the time, obviously.

It's class how monks invented beer because they had no birds. We've got no women what shall we do? Design beer. Top work lads.

No argument from me, mate. 

 

But I can drink a pint of Carlsberg. If I turned up at a pub and all they had was Strongbow, I'd probably get a cup of tea.

I’ve been going on holiday near Crediton for over 30 years.
