I'll never forget going down the Campbell aged 15 and drinking cocktails called 'The Communist' which was red bull, aftershock and vodka. I don't think I've ever been so sick!

At the same place I had those toffee apple flavour ‘Brothers’ ciders. Literally sickly sweet

Used to drink Mars attacks in the courtyard years ago

Basically mars bars and vodka in a blender.

Probably said it on this thread at some point, but I’ve never been a fan of sours. However, one took my eye and thought I’d give it a go and was pleasantly surprised. Probably as it didn’t really taste like a sour;

71 Brewing - Lemon Verbena Slushy Sour.

Couldn’t have more than one as it got a little too sickly towards the end, but a decent refreshing craft in todays sun!

I lived on Stella in my boozing days and the Stella 0% is incredibly similar. It’s been two years since I had a proper one but I’d go as far to say I can’t tell the difference.

Had a Cobra 0% in the Casino last season and it was rancid. Similar for the Peroni. Can live with Heineken 0 if it’s ice cold.

These are probably all last on a connoisseur’s list but I was never into IPAs and all that malarkey. Just strongish mainstream lagers.

Not tried the Stella yet. Bit blinkered I guess, but the alco version has, er, connotations.
Picked up a few cans of Northern Monk Holy Faith at Morrisons yesterday. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to Faith full strength.

Nope but the normal Staropramen is pretty good as lagers go.

Funnily enough I'm about to get a new phone so was just going through my current one deleting things and found a list of beers in my notes from my year in Australia.

4 Pines Kolsch
Little Creatures
Fat Yak
One Fifty Lashes
Cricketers Arms
Stone Woods
Southern Ocean Pale Ale

I've seen Little Creatures about, might even be on draught in Walkabout. Out of all of them I remember going crazy for the 4 Pines Kolsch but it's only on import websites like Sanza and costs about £20 for 6x330ml bottles before you've even got to shipping costs

Nope. They ruined Staropramen when they started brewing it in the UK, it's shite now imo

Tried two of the novelty BrewDog beers over the weekend:

Candy Kitten - Raspberry & Guava NEIPA
Tony’s Hopolonely - White Chocolate & Raspberry IPA

I love a “different” beer, but both were massively anti-climatic. I couldn’t even finish the first one - way too squash like.

Tend to avoid BrewDog as it is these days as it’s a bit standard but couldn’t help myself with the two above. Won’t be doing that again!

I tried Layer Cake by them recently and couldn’t even finish it either. I drink Punk IPA and Hazy Jane occasionally but it’s something like €3.75 for 330ml in shops here.

Brewdog is shite now, it's just a corporate behemoth, nothing punk about it and its been overtaken by numerous better breweries. The head honcho is a dickhead as well.

Nipped to Morrisons today to check out their selection and was really impressed.

Had the Brew York Tropical IPA tonight and it was excellent, if you like that sort of thing.

BrewYork are a great brewery so I wasn’t surprised!

I was the same with Moretti back in 2009 - not sure I’d describe that as hipster though.

Brew York are phenomenal, if you can stomach the £7 delivery and £4-5 per can they’re always bob on!

My dad had a couple in the fridge that I polished off - no a big cider fan but they were very nice. Luckily he didn’t realise I’d drank them until I was out the country.

Had the most gimmicky beer possible tonight;

Northern Monk - Jam & Custard Pale Ale (inspired by Aunt Bessie).

And it was actually really really good. No idea how they made beer taste like custard and still be nice, but they did!

And tbf Northern Monk are another great brewery.

Lowenbrau is decent enough as long as it is the strong one. I bought 18 cans from Aldi in lockdown #1 and it was some sub 4% pisswater

I wonder when the last pub around Cov lost its Ansells signage, it's a shame really how pubs have lost regional identity like that. M&B and Ansells in the Midlands. You still see the odd pub around Manchester with Boddingtons signage.
