Amstel is fairly unpleasant to start with!

Quite like Amstel with a hearty meal.

It's usually 50 cents a can in the Digros here. Still don't buy it.

Think my favourite to date is Estrella.

I’ve drunk a boat load of that today

I’ve drunk a boat load of that today

Fucking great stuff isn't it? I tried the Free Damm once thinking it wouldn't weigh in but probably the best non alcoholic beer I've had.

[stringvest]

I’ve not tried that. And now isn’t the time to start.

[El Rojo]

Whoever suggested Lidl’s beer called Perlenbacher is a cunt.

 

Tastes like piss and I have 7 cans left.

Hahaha!

Is your gaff in Leeds town centre, Lurtz?

 

No mate, Pudsey. We made it into a Leeds-list article today which I'm well happy about. Two and a half years of graft feels worth it, getting recognition from those guys. Some of the other bars we're mentioned alongside are absolutely top class, which makes our inclusion all the more satisfying.

The Manor Inn – Pudsey

Independent, quirky and with a standout selection of drinks – there’s plenty to love about the Manor Inn. Their music-based decor is accompanied by a calendar of live music to keep you entertained. On the taps, they have a marvellous selection of real ales and craft beers, carefully sourced to give you a taste of something different, like Lemondrop from Eyes Brewery and Shoestring from Northern Whisper.

We serve that on tap. Very popular and a very decent lager.

Ordered from that Beer 52. Delivery took about 3 days but came home to the collection tonight. Threw it in the freezer so reviews to follow shortly.

 

BBQ corn snacks are shite.

[Red_or_Dead]

I got these from Honest Brew online.

I had the Human Cannonball and Molotov Lite years ago in the Craft Beer Company pub, when we lived in Brighton.

 

Haven't tried the Unhuman yet (it's a bit intimidating, to be honest).

 

 

 

I've had this.  Outstanding.

[Red_or_Dead]

Bouy:  Dutty is pretty good.

 

I picked up these bad boys in Prague the other week.  Waiting to the unmentionable a week on Sunday to finally crack one open.

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Quality Kit-Kat stack, mate.

[manwiththestick]

Just bought 'Sainte Etienne' from Aldi.

 

Review to follow.

Wild Bill IPA if you're in Aldi £1.19 for a 500ml bottle. Lovely stuff.

Tried Salamander (5/10) and currently drinking Misty (6/10). Will crack open Dutty next.

 

It's a bit shit that they send non-alcoholic beers in the collection though.

Will pick this up next time. 

 

Aldi seems better than Lidl for beers.

What was the name of that one that was made with mayan water from the Peruvian mountains or something? Can't remember the name of it, think it began with C.

Found it, not had it for a couple of years, can somebody let me know if they spot it in the wild so I can get some?

[mattyq]

Cusquena and very tasty it is

They used to bottle it at different pressures for the coast and the mountains

Aren't they meant be a cunt to cancel?

 

£24 a month for that would be extortion.

I've already emailed to cancel. Going to keep chasing it up all next week - got until 24th before I get billed. 

 

£2.95 for the above isn't too bad but £3 per beer is a bit shit.

I've cancelled and rejoined about 4 times. Just call them, they might throw in another offer for more beer. You're right about those corns snacks, they're terrible. And like you I sling the wanky magazine right in the bin

Yeah, I did one of them and it said you had to phone up to cancel it - obviously so that they can persuade to stay i.e. let you have it for £18 a month or something.  Keep mithering via email, tell them you are deaf!

Yeah the welcome deal is a great offer but as a regular thing it's a complete rip off.

They have a few other ways to cancel inc. a live chat. 

 

I'd just prefer if it was £5 a month or something and you could choose your 8 bottles/cans. Dutty isn't too shabbly, 7/10 this one.

Must've changed it since I last did it.  Yeah, got to admit it is a bit of a rip off, bet loads of thick hipsters are snared by it though.
