Cisse Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Has there been a band called The New ? Saw it with my mate 4-5 years ago and they showed some potential. Especially the young guy singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's opposite the train station, next door to the Merry Widows, down that little side street/ path to the city centre. It's the music venue for up and coming bands. Quite a few famous bands have played there when starting out. I real ale on, and the normal stuff too. £3.30 a pint, so not too cheap, but free chips and bread to make your own butties. A pint 3,30 is a bargain. Here a decent beer in a decent place is 7-8 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't new Siss' They have a special brewed beer named after our Stevie Mac. My mate had 3, says it's alright. Then the normal stuff.

Cisse Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 bloody hell, bet the bars are empty. Bars empty in Finland ? Surely you jest. Everybody here depressed since we don't see the sun in six months and boozing their troubles away. The thing is we don't eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I must say my favourite beers are ales from Britain, Trappists from Belgium and some products from microbreweries from USA and Finland. I could manage with those the rest of my life. froggg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the style - nice and hoppy (not ridiculously so) with a fruity, citrusy twang (Cascade and Citra FTW), none of that burnt dark malt flavour of many of the stouts and porters - but can't someone please come up with a better name?

May Contain Nuts Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 India Black Ale / IBA possibly. Then again the India part of it is totally irrelevant nowadays too, and having IPAs with a high ABV is contrary to the reason they existed, so basically.... dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was saving it but I was craving it, so my Cuvee Van De Kiezer Blauw is going down well. Unfortunately I've not got the Fullers Imperial Stout I bought on Friday becausean accident befell it, wasted on the streets of Tufnell Park, wasn't a good start to the weekend! Had a couple in their 'past masters' range, the pick of which was 'Old Burton Ale' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You Scandifininavians even ferment your fish - and they say the Scots have an alcohol problem. Surströmming. Traditional Swedish cuisine, nothing to do with us. With yard glass of vodka it's pretty good though. Finland - where west and east collide.

Cisse Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Helsinki. What a horrible place that is. How much does it cost in the countryside ? Or do you have decent pubs with decent beers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 How much does it cost in the countryside ? Or do you have decent pubs with decent beers ? Is everything outside Helsinki countryside? Of course it depends what you prefer but imports about 5-6 €, locals 4-5 €. Then there's comfier pubs what you propably wouldn't call "decent", where beer is cheaper, music is better and people are nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm moving there not only because the beer is so cheap but if you can find people from pubs in Finland that you can call nicer I want to see them.
