I will, however, steer clear of their pils. I don't think I've ever had it.

To be honest you could probably drink a bucket full and still not know ?

You'll never know until you try it - but I'm confident that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Paulaner Salvator is not a weissbier but a doppelbock,

?

The stuff I had was the pils not weissbeir.

Delivery day today.

German beers:

 

• 4 x Paulaner Salvator 50 cl

I don't want to appear overly grumpy Eddy, but I hope that stuff tastes better than the regular Paulaner "paint stripper"? It's one of the most horrible "chemical" tasting beers I've ever had the misfortune to drink. Rivaled only by Pfungstädter, (another horrible brew from near Darmstadt).

I've just opened an Aldi £1.49 bottle of "Proper Job" Cornish IPA (5.5% from St. Austell Brewery), and very pleasant it is too, nice and hoppy. ?

I'm very partial to the Innis & Gunn Blood Red Sky - again, a bargain at £6 for 4.

The Bacchus Kriek is good too, but like all fruit beers, I think they are better on a hot, sunny day. 

I agree, any fruit beers are defo a hot day ale.

Might need an industrial supply of Ralgex tho.

If you like fruit beers, they have Boon Kriek in at 4 bottles for £6 at the moment.

La Chouffe cherry makes a nice change.

It's good in a plastic cup, half-buried in the garden, to get rid of slugs.

My method is more environmentally friendly Eddy. ?

It’s a bottle of Corona in a glass, was just testing Eddie to see if he could tell the difference 

Best thing to do with Corona, is to flip off the cap and pour it down a drain.

The biggest farce in all this mayhem is that Villa stayed-up because (apparently), someone forgot to plug-in the cine-camera.

....................... and Sheff Utd have collapsed since that game.

Christ, I tell you what... Everton might actually win the whole ducking league the way this season has started

They'll fancy their chances in a fortnight.

Question for the forum. Sliding doors moment really. If we had turned up for the play off final, won, got promoted, stayed up by our fingernails due to a VAR malfunction, would we now be 4-1 up against Liverpool ???????

No.

Thought I’d give one of these Duvel’s a go on @Eddies recommendation. 
 

Not too bad, a little gassy 

I'm sorry, but that looks as flat as a fart. 

Is there any evidence that the number of beer thread posts are inversely proportional to the teams points total?

When in Rome, or in this case Antwerp;

A cheeky little 8% number, cheers.

I followed this one up with a Duvel.

The one pictured completely knocks the Duvel into a cocked hat for me, its a much smoother drink.

I’ve got a Simcoe single hop IPA I have brewed myself and I must say it tastes rather nice. Around 5.6% 

Good going managing a full brew from one hop!

Drank 8 pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord on Sunday night whilst watching the Champions League final in a pub in Alton.

How the feck I managed to do a shift at work on Monday I'll never know.

I'm too old for this.

Bad news I'm afraid. You only drank 4, the other 4 are probably down the front of your shirt?

I was there ?

The (what I assume are) top priced tickets at 42/- (£2.10) was a small fortune in 1946, but its still only the equivalent of about £90 at today's prices.

I bet £90 is the cheapest FA Cup final ticket now? For instance the ones priced at 3/6 (17.5p) would only be £7 in today's money, which would struggle to buy a dodgy hot-dog at Wembley.

They have Titanic Plum Porter on draught in the Pen Factory (Liverpool).

Why did Patrick not have his name on the back like everyone else?

Following  a "driver" who insists on stopping at every roundabout whether there is the need to give way or not.

The bloke who invented traffic roundabouts must be spinning in eternity?

Taxi drivers who think it's ok to stick on their hazard lights when they are simply pulling in on the LHS. FFS use the left indicator like anyone normal.

Babies have their own rules. My lad slept through from about 4 or 5 weeks.  My daughter (baby #2), was a week from her second birthday before she slept through the night, (we thought she'd  died when we woke-up and it was 8 a.m. and she was still asleep).

It must be on this thread somewhere already, but.... 

I went to see the Joker at Showcase Deluxe, Nottingham Friday night. 

Sat down on time, played around with my seats buttons, too easily amused with a leg rest coming up and down and reclining my seat up and down. 

Brilliant fun. 

Until some Bamford sat down next to me with a big bucket of popcorn. Sounded like Gary Lineker on a Walkers advert. Eating with his mouth open, and a complete lack of self-awareness. 

The adverts played and I could still hear the Bamford chewing. I calculated at the rate he was eating the popcorn, the film would be over before he stopped eating. 

So I waited for a quiet bit at the start of the film and said 'if you're going to eat like that through this film, I'm going to lob that ducking popcorn'. Overly aggressive, but we're talking 11 quid a seat here. And I had waited ages to see the film and managed to not have heard any spoilers. 

The worst thing is, he acknowledged he was eating too loudly and agreed to eat quieter. Which he achieved. 

Who thought of popcorn? People don't eat it unless watching a film. Its ducking mad. The worst thing you could think of for not pissing other people off. 

The cinema makes about 100x more on selling your "mate" the popcorn than on the film ticket. I guess a £5 bucket of popcorn costs about 10p to make? So I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to stop selling it.
