troon_villan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wheat beers are alright, out of a small bottle and not 2 litre steins as we were being given in Berlin, a quarter/third of one of those things is enough. Then you get some massive 25st, peanut-headed Austrian downing one in one huge gulp, with his giant hand being strong enough to lift the glass like it was a packet of wotsits. crazy bastard.

rjw63 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Loads of British people in this thread, and loads of lager talk? You have a plethora of lovely Ales and Stouts, drink it for goodness sake.The viking feller speaks the truth. Last pint of lager I drank was a couple of weeks ago, after labouring on a hot day - Sam Smith's organic lager (brewed to German purity laws). It's very nice, but a rare change from draught ale for me. The best lager beats bad ale, but nothing beats good ale. Good ale and good cider for me. Just started using Ocado and their array of both is superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The problem with German larger (as I found in Berlin) was that many of them are pilsners, which are pretty sour after-tasting to me. In the end, I was drinking Budvar (Czech), which I find much more palatable. Just drink what you like, whether it be Carling or Leffe, it doesn't really matter.

CrackpotForeigner Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 .... Hey, have you ever been to Berlin? Sounds like a Cold War spy rendezvous. Answer carefully, depending on whether you want to be a spy, his boyfriend, or both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I've been a Guinness man for a few years anyway, but used to enjoy a good lager too. In the last few months before and after Baby M was born, I almost haven't had any alcohol at all and when I've tried a lager it's been absolutely awful.

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm a stout man (not in that way) myself, and also enjoy the odd ale. I've even been known to have a few lagers when the sole intention is to get absolutely Grealished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, sadly, a bit of truth to that. My diet has been awful lately. My wife hasn't been in excellent shape since giving birth, and the increased workload hasn't done wonders in terms of trying to eat healthy and working out.

What's wrong with Blossom Hill??? Wait, I in no way said i'm a bourbon connoisseur, I just said it's what I drink. Jack, Bullet, Jim is usually what I drink. I don't claim to know much about it, I mix it with Diet Coke ffs Edited June 26, 2015 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Why bands/artists put out music on Lathe cut records. After a few listens they seem to get wrecked plus they're expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Why bands/artists put out music on Lathe cut records. After a few listens they seem to get wrecked plus they're expensive. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with acetone records. I've just read that Lathe cuts are meant to last up to a 1000 plays before they degrade. I've got a few, one of them went to mush after a couple of plays, so the other one I only played once because I didn't want to wreck it (I didn't realise it was a lathe cut when I bought it) I have another too but that one is unplayable on a conventional record player, because of it's shape. To answer my original question it seems Lathe cut records are used because they're cheaper to press in small quantities.
