Are “beetles” a separate offering from British music? Is that what we’ll be betting on instead of horses when Brexit stops horses crossing the Irish Sea?

First clue is that it's 4 fucking %. Truly one of the most ignominious aspects of living here.

I'm not a big fan of spirits, unfortunately. But otm.

Seriously, though, the sheer amount of 3.8%ers on tap at just about every pub makes me want to become a teetotaler.

Not a fan, sorry. My alcoholic drugs of choice are craft beer, wine and the occasional glass of cognac.

Whenever I check out a new pub here I always ask for their strongest beer on tap, which usually ends up being like 5.5%. I've once been warned by a bartender that it could make for a rough afternoon. Crazy, crazy stuff indeed.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 11:09 (four years ago) link
They quietly lowered Stella from 5.2% to 4.7% some years back, they got away with a fucking crime and nobody seemed to care!
― calzino, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 11:15 (four years ago) link
A special beer pub is the only way to go, to not get 3 or 4% pish on tap. The number of pubs/hip places w/ ~hip beers~ still seems on the rise though, no?

I assume so, yes, but Oxford ain't London.

Pravha is indeed tailor-made for the UK, they apparently did some research and found that Czech lager had too "heavy" a taste for mass consumption and that a "light" version would go down better, so they made something that tastes like carling, you can't say we don't get what we deserve.

Harrowing.

for a country with an international reputation for drunkenness, the methods we choose to get there are pretty shameful

"stella doing their part to reduce domestic violence tbf"
I find my ability to dodge flying weaponised plates when pissed is just as impaired when returning home drunk on 4.7% stella tbh!

Trying to remember where I was recently when I heard two men, who were older than me, enthusiastically talking up the merits of drinking Bavaria. Bavaria, I thought, wasn’t that the piss we used to drink cheap with Dutch Gold in university?
― steer karma (gyac), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 11:40 (four years ago) link
Bavaria is pish, yeah. Wouldn't force it on anyone tbpf

Bavaria's 8.6 is the go-to beer for French hobos.

I used to see a group of Polish factory workers who'd just finished a night-shift supping Tyskie at 7am every morning outside the offie. Had 100% respect for them obv
― calzino, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 12:31 (four years ago) link
the fuckers have nobbled Tyskie as well. only 5% now instead of 5.5%
and I noticed they've done the same to Old Rosie cider - used to be 7.3%, now 6.8%
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 12:39 (four years ago) link
It's fucking bullshit man. I didn't know they'd watered down Tiskies as well ffs
― calzino, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 12:41 (four years ago) link
Is an overall decrease in alcohol content even correlated with lower alcohol consumption?
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 12:42 (four years ago) link
a lot of shops round me won't sell any beer or cider over 6.5% so someone thinks it must do

Was surprised to find out that white lightning hasn't been made/sold in over a decade, not anything to be mourned though, frosty jack's was always slightly cheaper and tasted less like sick.

I was once in a pub with a work colleague and I noticed lots of noise coming from the bar. There was a middle aged woman who'd agreed with the landlord if she downed 10 castaways in a row then she get them for free. She waved at me and said hello there Jason and my friend said you oh so you know her then? Yes i said .. it's my mum!

Castaways are lightweight unless you stick a diamond white in them tho and make a Blastaway
― GK Chessington's World of Adventure (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 14:16 (four years ago) link
I knew I'd heard "blastaway" as a booze concoction before but wasn't sure if it was a phantom memory.
