> Carling with a dash of lime juice



His Lordship is a big Scouse bloke but loves a pint of Carling with "quite a lot of lime" cordial though, not juice (he thinks it's a bit girly but no-one is ever going to say it to his face)....

Genuinely don't and have never liked Stella, it tastes of.....matter...


I guess if I'm on the gary lager for the night it has to be refreshing yet inoffensive. Heineken is about right.

Whatever happened to Oranjeboom as the lager du jour, or should that be pils van de dag.


Craftier lagers can be nice too.

even Stella doesn't have the old strength it used to, so even less reason to have it


I see Oranjeboom in cans a fair bit down here in Sussex but as rahrahrah says, it does taste much of a muchness with the rest


I can't even drink my formerly-beloved red stripe any more

For my part I've just never really got on withr real ale. I don't like lager too gassy but I do like some fizz and I like it cold. Real ale just makes me feel a bit sick.


And I'm not putting it down, to each their own. Just wish that those who think you're sone sort of thug if you drink lager (rather that wine, cider or real ale) would be as tolerant of other people's tastes.




As I said before, Heineken does it for me. Nice and crisp.

Micky Flanagan routine...


when he goes to the offy to buy 4 cans of Stella Artoris he gets a worried look from the lady in the shop and she says : "oh dear love, would you like one of our leaflets....."


Also when he walks down the road drinking a can of SA - he finds he's given lots of space.


Would never happen to a real ale drinker. Maybe Quids knows different.

I'm famous for my Stella Artois consumption at home. Outside, where I pay a premium, I'd rather drink something better, and normally cheaper too. I spent twenty years largely scoffing 'premuium' lagers in pubs at a way above doctors guideline volumes, the massive, and crucially widespread, improvement in the availibility of well kept ales in pubs over the last 5 years or so and some interesting craft beer (yes including lagers)plus the fact I don't go on pub benders anymore has put me back on what's a much nicer tasting product.
I think one of the reasons I've got on with the whole "craft" beer thing is that the American style ales are a lot more flavoursome than most lagers, but still keg (i.e. chilled and carbonated) so just as refreshing as a lager. I'd probably choose a light real ale over a crap generic lager.

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
