“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
I tried this one a few months ago and have bought it since - already had one whilst I'm reading this post in factOriginally posted by doodab View PostThe Waitrose German pils (memminger brewery) is my standard tipple.
A good flavoursome malty beer which still has a great taste when ice cold.
I discovered it works quite well paired with a dram of your favourite single malt, on the side or as a chaser as the Americans put it.Comment

May I ask where you obtain said Augustiner from in the UK?Originally posted by doodab View PostMunich Helles (Augustiner especially)
I've only ever had this in Munich - a personal favourite after a Biergarten crawl - but I'd love to find a supply if one exists.Comment

WHS^ Avoid the usual American piss and try this stuff, Blue moon is also v good.Originally posted by flambo View PostTry this Home | Sierra Nevada.
It's an American brewery and is one of the finest drinks I've come across. A few good pubs in London now have it on tap. You can pick it up in Waitrose I'm told.
Have a go. It's superb
My current fav's:
Jaipur (available in Waitrose)
Ubu (Sainsbury's)
Caesar Augustus (Scottish IPA from Sainsbury's)
Butcombe Standard bitter, Gold, Brunel IPA, Rare Breed (I'm West country till I die!)
Bath Ales Gem and Golden Hare ("")
On a really hot day Thatchers Gold glider.
Zero Degrees microbrewery/pub/restaurant beers are also fantastic IMO as is their lime & tequila chicken tagliatelle.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Ubu is a local brewery, so we have plenty in the pubs. You've got to love a brewery named after a dog named after an absurdist play.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostWHS^ Avoid the usual American piss and try this stuff, Blue moon is also v good.
