[Closed] local pub beer crisis!

black sheep and speckled hen!

you didnt start off with anything nice in the first place, but Pedigree is certainly even worse 🙂

You have my commiserations.

Time to move to spirits and mixers.

There is always wife beater (Stella Artois) as a last resort if you cannot take the pedigree 😆 At least your innards will have a good clear out.

Yes, it's limited but only 15 mins walk away, others are over twice the distance 🙁

i wish my local was limited to black sheep, old speckled hen & pedigree

instead it's Tetleys or lager

Mine sells only Beamish and Smithwick. A brew based on old sweaty socks is better.

Stoner you know nothing about beer .Speckled hen is great a good strong beer, Black sheep and Pedigree are good ales as well ! Are you a lager lout?

Black Sheep is a decent drop of beer, but not so keen on the other two since they fell into the clutches of Greene King

john Drummer, you need to get down to Fannys

Speckled hen is great a good strong beer, Black sheep and Pedigree are good ales as well

they're mass produced crap.

Not nearly niche enough for my palette.

And anyone who says pedigree is anything but utter rubbish has got shot tastebuds, even if Black Sheep and Hen are drinkable. 😉

I refer you again to the aforementioned Tetleys. compared to this, [i]all[/i] ales are good

and fannys is too far for my idle legs

Tetleys

last rights read.

it's ok, i'm enjoying a Shropshire Lad at home now 😉

What's his name?[img] [/img]

LOL

Stoner you know nothing about beer

I'd agree with this too. He's more of a whine man....

fred, you think Sam Smiths is proper beer.
That rules you out of this for starters.

they're mass produced crap.
Not nearly niche enough for my palette.

So come on then Stoner; what is 'proper' beer then?

Sam Smiths wheaty beer and pure brewed lager are excellent. Many others agree with me.

[i]'Ooh look I'm superior to you because the beers I drink are oh so superior to the ones you drink and you're just an ignorant savage'.[/i]

Jeeze. Have a word with yourself mate. 🙄

If you like something, enjoy it. Don't worry about what others think. Or you end up always trying to out-niche everyone to show just how awesome you are, and forget to actually enjoy anything properly.

Not had Speckled Hen, but Black Sheep is ok.

no arguments please

Didn't Pedigree used to be OK? What's changed?

Ah, just what the world needs, another Real Ale Snob

Whoooooooshhhhhhhh....

And fred, like I give in a the remotest sniff of a monkey's fanny fart what you think about me?

For an obviously well educated and intelligent person, you really are rather rude, aren't you?

If you were more like me, more people would like you and you would be happier. 🙂

I'm quite enjoying waggledance at the mo.

Likes speckled hen but not Landlord - proof that RD knows nowt about good ale 🙂

Some of my favourite beer is from the Meantime brewery, near where I live. Lovely beers, and even Captain Flashheart approves! Can't be bad then. Stoner probbly thinks they're crap though...

But if it comes right down to it I'll drink owt'

I used to drink JW Lees, generally Bitter but occasionally Moonraker when feeling brave, so what do I know?

The boardroom of JW Lees was the boardroom used by Newton & Ridley in Coronation St.

proof that RD knows nowt about good ale

i know what i like and Landlord isn't one of them as it's used as a token "real ale" around here in the pseudo posh pubs and probably isn't kept properly
