Locally we have a few Titanic pubs and I had a pint of that once. I say I had a pint. I ordered a pint of it. It wasn’t for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmix Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Being in Wales and with the Euros game on tonight, I'll be on whatever the pub is willing to pour into one of those 2-pint glasses. Had several 2-pint stouts on Saturday... rough aftermath, but totally worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one for the ttpyo thread, but it really bugs me - all these Stouts and Porters that are like "Plum" or "Coffee" or "Milk" or "Chocolate" and so on. FFS stop it at once and make beer flavoured beer. It's bad enough with IPAs and stuff, but stout FFS! Make it stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point well made, Stefan.... But it's still got **** milk in it. I mean who puts milk in their beer?

The same in a pastry sour or a milkshake IPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2021 We went to the local pub last night for the first time in many years. It used to be a shithole under a variety of owners then the whole building got bought and it was closed down for a major refurb but not by a chain, just a married couple. They were only at the start of this when the pandemic originally closed everything down. It only opened again just before xmas, so was open a couple of weeks and had to shut again. They've done a nice job with it and they have Wainwright as one of their cask ales. So I sank a few of those with my FIsh and Chips (no gravy offered, so thankfully I couldn't mark them down on that.) Nice beer garden with lots of space 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
