A Friday Pint

[larbert toffee]

Something almost conspiratorial going on with this beer. I think it's tasty, but it's "only" 4.4% yet gets me absolutely trollied. My mum's banned my dad from drinking it as it sends him loopy. Anyone else get way more pissed than 4.4% should?

I try and stick around 4% when I'm having a session however I'm out in Stirling tonight and there's a few pubs which have Belhaven black which I've taken to recently, it's 4.2 and probably on my limit when having a few.

I check every beer before I buy like I'm buying food.

So many have glucose syrup added to them, absolutely disgusting and obviously just trying to add sweetness to a horrible product.

Need a German purity law in the UK.

Check your purchases people.

The irony is, they've just pushed the sugar tax a bit further. It'd be great to get some German brewing laws, but also allow the knock off stuff to be in the market all the same...
"would you like a classic unadulterated drink sir, or would you like the more expensive but lesser strength stuff that's effectively cordial?"

It's just the sheer fakery of the entire market that annoys me.

All these "Spanish, German, Japanese etc" beers are all just the same gassy urine extracted from major corporations.

If your beer has glucose syrup in it, then it's garbage. Most have, people need to check labels.

Think you're buying decent lager like Tyskie, hold on if it's cans you're buying it's garbage from Netherlands.

You wouldn't happen to know a list or website that documents all the treacle tat on the market would you?

Nope unfortunately not, just my dogged surveillance which means my wife refuses to shop with me while I read every food and drink label in the trolley ha.

My other current issue is the replacement of butter etc with palm oil. I'd check every dessert for that.

You stand at the bar, read a beer, then Google its contents?

I don't tend to go out much anymore due to family commitments.

I'll have couple local ales usually when I do, no idea if it's pure or not but you have to take a leap of faith.

If I'm out and all is available is crap lager I'll drink it but but have my eyes open to what it is, thought others might be interested too.

Sneaked in my lical for two while walking the dog. Conveniently, it was just me and 4 lovely young ladies (one was Molly the BM). Was all going so well until they started talking about men going bald.
My wife just reminded me about its links to virility! I nearly went back to tell them

Cool story bro

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Enjoying a decent chilled pint of Modelo. Found it in the local Tesco extra. Not sure I'd ever tried it before but it's crisp and refreshing.
Pint of Tyskie next and then pass out in front of the tv until my teenage kids or the wife shout at me that it's bed time

Gotta say non alcoholic beers don't do anything for me, Heineken 0 is nothing like normal Heineken. Becks Blue is only beer that tastes same whether 0% or not.

Peroni is decent

Got myself a free pint by downloading the O'Neills app. Nice way to avoid the London pint premium.

Can you keep uninstalling and reinstalling for more pints though, that's the main Q
