It's my brothers birthday so he'll be getting one if I can find it I got it in Morrisons, Newquay while down here. I think @Xela often gets his beers in Morrisons too? So I'd definitely try there first. My local one isn't that big and has a very small selection. Newquay had about 4 times more 'craft' beers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pina Colada sour was from Sainsburys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @sidcow. Only exceptions are those Belgian Trappist ones with cherry or raspberry etc. Stop drinking beer that’s “good with colours” m’kay.

In pubs i'll always have real ale from casks, but I find they don't translate very well at all to bottles/cans. So i'll always go for something quirky when I'm at home.

I’m the same in pubs home though, I’ll stick with decent lager in the summer, or Adnams or Oakham or any of the others that Booths sell. no No no no No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted August 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2022 Thatchers Dark Berry please. I can't get it up here, but I was on holiday in Devon last week, and it was on tap. Luuuurvely. Thatchers is my favourite cider. Incidentally they do a special edition blood orange one, which sounded like my jam, but was not pleasant. I've come to the conclusion that despite liking most stuff with an orange flavour, orange cider just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I went and had a look and I take it back @sidcow yeah it's insane Couldn't get the roly poly but got the vanilla, a peanut butter and raspberry jam, a maple syrup pancake and a Tony's white chocolate milkshake flavour Like I said brothers birthday almost like a joke present, surely people aren't picking up 6 cans of peanut butter and jam IPA on a Saturday night?

No. But I can't imagine anything more dull than having 6 pints of lager, either. If I'm having a few drinks, I might have a selection of a fruity sour, some kind of unusual pale, and finish on some heavier imperial stouts, often they'll be coffee/liquorice/cherry style stouts, or something even crazier. Along the way the more interesting ones will be broken up by a bit of a palate cleanser, just a good solid ale, be it pale or a nice dark trappist ale. It'd be very very rare for me to have the same drink back to back when it's something as interesting as the peanut butter/jam sour. The variety is half the fun.

No, thats whey they are sold as separate cans and not in packs. They're quirky, and something different. I don't drink much at home but given the choice between something generic and something wacky, i'll take a chance on the latter. In the pub though, hand pulled cask ale all day long!
