StigVillan Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've got a guilty little pleasure whenever I'm watching "The Walking Dead" that I'll have along with a Jim Beam chaser... And, with tonight being the start of a new season on FX...I've gone out and bought some. I'm a terrible person...I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StigVillan Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) It's a very guilty pleasure. And proof that I'm not a pretentious ale snob as I know it looked early doors. Edited October 18, 2013 by StigVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 4 pack of Blue Moon in the fridge. Get them down me, then out for a few, late doors in the local. Friday nights are pretty sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Tried BFG (a blackcountry ale golden ale) tonight, not too bad but had better. Tipsy off ale is such a different feeling than other drunkeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Went to Frankie and Benny's tonight. Couldn't see any proper beer so went with the only one I didn't recognise, Samuel Adams.What a bucket of piss. Tasted like a dodgy Carling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted October 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2013 I loved Sam Adams in the U.S. Got a nice flavour I thought.Of the top of my head, I can recall a few other posters (here or in other threads, like the tipple thread) who got terrible Sam in the UK, while I can't recall a poster who disliked it while drinking it in the US. It seems plausible that the importer for the UK imports more than immediate sales would justify (and I can think of economic reasons for this), thus causing the beer to be stored for too long and spoil. The quality of bottles of Old Speckled Hen or Czechvar (what real Budweiser is branded in countries where Budweiser means clydesdales etc.) or Grolsch has been pretty hit or miss over the years in my experience. When it comes to imported beers that aren't at least double the price of say, Heineken (because then the economics allow importation of smaller shipments), supported by a massive marketing campaign , or heavily purchased by a notably large immigrant/expatriate group in the area (using these as a proxy for "sells in sufficient numbers to limit the length of storage"), one is probably always rolling the dice on freshness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
