Crap beer in the CPT, why?

[MadWorld74]

If anyone (Keef) has any links to the owners of the above watering hole can you please on our behalf ask for a better choice on beer. Who the hell in their right minds drinks pissey Carling or Fosters? Please. You got the new swanky wall paper, now get some more lines!

[SteveT]

Get down the Gowlett MW74 it has half a dozen wholesome real ales, the strengths of which were up on a blackboard,

it's no wonder the place was jumping.

[Keef]

Have to agree Madworld, they got rid of my beloved Grolsch. The have got star though which is nice

[Jimbob]

who needs pisswater beer or lager when there,s guinness.

[HonaloochieB]

Because without a surfeit of Stella then nobody would ever have the courage to wear a 'wifebeater' vest.

You haven't thought it through JB..

[PeckhamRose]

?

Is this an in joke with EDF?

No PeckhamRose. Stella (unfortunately) is commonly known as wifebeater.

It's sad what's happening at the CPT. All the lovely bar staff that I got to know over the last year or so have left and I have to agree with you Madworld74 the beer is very limited indeed. Could do with some more real ales. How about some guest beers please. They do a nice pint of Guinness though but that's not really the point is it? And I absolutely hate the new wallpaper. Urrgh!

By the way MW74 as someone who has complained in the past about the lack decent wines in the CPT. What do you think of the new wine list?

[mightyroar]

they let children in there now too you know

[bon3yard]

During the Hot Summer months(I know, I used the plural of month in relation to our Summer...whodathoughtit?)I've switched from my customary Guinness to a variety of quality ciders which have been lovely. Just in case you were wondering...

[MadWorld74]

I have already been down to Lucky 7's at The Gowlett, but the CPT is pretty much on my doorstep. Not that I'm lazy you hear!

I'm not actually a beer drinker per se, but enjoy a cold something when the heat's up.

Went into The Uplands for a laugh though, to see what beers they had on offer. Walked straight back out. Blokes in there were wearing 'I'm a spousal beater' tee shirts. Yikes.

The type of beer that would be appreciated is the sort of stuff that Inside 72 used to sell in bottles. Not that it has anything to do with ED, so please don't all shout me down, but I went to The Clissold Arms in Fortis Green (North London!!) yesterday (incidently where The Kinks played their very first gig), and they had a truly amazing array of beers on tap.

Sigh.

SteveT youre a man after my own heart! A man that says alcohol is 'wholesome'....sigh again.....if only all blokes had your forward thinking outlook the world would be a much happier, drunken place.

Isn't 'beer' real ale and the stuff being discussed here; Stella, Star, Grolsch, 'lager'?

[Jah Lush]

Indeed. All hail to the ale.

[MadWorld74]

Asset I can always count on you to be picky with my postings.....beer to me is a pint of ale or lager. 'Hey Asset, fancy going down the public house for an ale?' ...no because it sounds crap. A beer covers all booze.

[Brendan]

The term ?beer? can refer to ale, larger or even stout but not to the likes of Carling or Fosters. These drinks are what is colloquially known as piss.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Brendan, sorry old chap but you are wrong. When in Rome .... Beer is beer is ale. Lager is not indigenous and is as relevant as 600 ml.

[Brendan]

But I?m not in Rome and I know full well that when someone says, ?Should we go for couple of beers tonight?? They mean neither specifically (but not excluding) what is known as ?real? ale (excluding mild of course) nor do they mean we are only going to have 2.

Bit paranoid aren't you or is your ego so large that my post had to be referring only to yours?

I am aware that lager is referred to as beer but wanted to know the accurate definition. I'll use a dictionary next time.

[Brendan]

The accurate definition is that larger, pilsner, stout, porter, ale, mild etc? are all types of Beer.

[Asset]

and they all get one pished so who cares really eh

[Brendan]

True, although I do quite like how I unintentionally capitalised the word Beer in my last post. It is nice to see a little bit of well deserved, Freudian Deification.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Oi - none of yer defecating on this thread.

[Brendan]

I wasn?t me it was some German who lived in denial of his Clintonsian cigar fixation. This may or may not have been a result of to much lager.

Although I suspect he was just off his tits on coke.

The new 4% alcohol Stella is apparently known as "child beater"

[Keef]

It seems common now that the 5% brands are releasing 4% versions. Becks Vier, Grolsch blonde and so on.
