"hey, maybe you stopped to say just the word 'look' at this wall, thinking it's something you know nothing about and hence could be interesting. well it's not, it's an ad for some fucking oat milk. did you take a photo of it too? you fucking idiot. anyway drink our oat milk."

i mean to be fair however they advertise this it has to conclude "drink our oat milk" and since that's the actual problem moment for most people they might as well go for broke

a better ad would be "continue to consume oats" with an image depicting a vast trough with people bent double over it, desperately scooping oat milk into their mouth with their hands

maybe a factory full of grinning workers, each squeezing an oat between their thumb and forefinger to express the oats’ sweet, precious milk

that brewdog stuff is stocked everywhere, but I've never actually seen anyone drinking it. I had some on a train once and thought it was overpriced piss in a small can. For £2.57 Asda sell 4 packs of continental style lager in small cans that is much superior.

It's called punk IPA and it's subtitled "a post-modern brew" or some shitTheir beer is terrible imo

Brewdog beer is pretty good but there are literally hundreds of beers that taste broadly like that now and their entire brand image is abysmal. They have a (virtually) zero alcohol beer called Nanny State, which should tell you everything.
Unfortunately it's the only stuff like that you can get in Sainsbury's and a lot of local off-licenses.

I was bought a bottle of Punk IPA for my birthday once so I acted grateful and later drank it and I thought it was ok but no way would I buy this nonsense

An American IPA with a bitter edge that will push your citrus tolerance to the brink and back; Elvis Juice is loaded with tart pithy grapefruit peel. This IPA has a caramel malt base, supporting a full frontal citrus overload - grapefruit peel piled on top of intense us aroma hops. Waves of crashing pine, orange and grapefruit round out this citrus infused IPA.
'fucking rancid lilt' seems v otm, keep your fucking fruit out of my beer u shits

I almost feel proud that their shit often ends up on the reductions section in my local Onestop. If it isn't Stella or high strength cider in a blue bottle, local pissheads aren't going to extra to be "punks".

I have had some citrus-y beers recently and quite liked them. I also like that banana beer you can get in supermarkets. I am a disgusting savage. Haven't tried Brewdog one though because fuck Brewdog.

i realised last year that my preference for coffee- or chocolate-flavoured stouts and plus früüüli was bcz i actually don't really like beer at all but do like chocolate, coffee and strawberries
lots of lagers taste like banana anyway, apparently someone called esther is responsible (this is my attempt at a smoothie-aesthetic joke obv)
― mark s, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 11:41 (six years ago) link
Fruit beer is mostly rank and there's some woeful stunty crap available these days but a dark beer w2ith coffee or chocolate in there is a wonderful thing. I had a chocolate milk stout on New Year's Eve that was astonishing.

Re drunkening you can get 4 bottles of 6.5/7% ales for £6 in Morrisons and I don't think I've had one I didn't like, so I'm probably not the most sophisticated beer drinker.
Had a couple of coffee-flavour beers recently, an ale and a porter, didn't really like the ale but the porter was quite good. Helps that I really like porter in general probably.

Nasty over hopped pish which sadly makes it to Australia where it is indistinguishable from the rest of the nasty over hopped pish that is craft beer. It’s probably for the best I don’t really drink beer any more.
