I?ll second you on Brooklyn Lager.


Since Inside 72 (god rest its soul) closed the only place I can get Brooklyn Lager is Giraffe. Which means I have to go to Giraffe, which in turn means I either have to go to Clapham or arrange a holiday so I end up in an airport terminal.



I like going on holiday but I can do without going to Clapham.

Anything which does not say brewed in Burton-on-Trent is always a good start..


In the off licences in near Anfield, Liverpool you can always get the Belgian brewed Stella, the Dutch brewed Grolsch, the French brewed Kronenburg... rather than the Burton brewed versions which always taste weird.


But to answer the question, I'd say Efes from Istanbul which unfortunately I've only seen stocked in Weatherspoons.

We agree on the anything from burton on trent is def off the list

we are hoping to have a non main-stream range of lagers and ales rather than being just another outlet of the usaul chain rubbish.


My Ale of choice is TEA from hogs back brewery in Surrey , very nice beer ( TEA stands for Traditional English Ale)

Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Harvey's Sussex Bitter, Young's Special, Fullers ESB, London Pride, Wadsworth's 6X...I could go on with more bitter but we'd be here all night. A nice cold pint of Guinness. Tinned or draft Red Stripe and tinned or draft Stella Artois.

Pleased to see BBW and Keef recommending Heineken - I like it but thought not many others did, seems to get a lot of criticism, but I am having a can of it as we speak, its pretty good I think.


As for bitter - I'm getting into it slowly and usually go for London Pride if the pub has it. Also like IPA, not so keen on the heavy ones.


But its hard to beat Guinness and its served in every pub (I know not a beer or lager but deserves a mention).

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
