Title: New lager.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 17 January 2017, 20:35:48
I've just bought 12 bottles of Staropramen 5% lager. This is new to me. :)

This is genuine Czechoslovakian lager lovingly brewed in Burton on Trent, Czechoslovakia. :y

Quality is more important than quantity. Cheap beer is rarely worth drinking.

It's not a bad drop to be honest, and when I used to live in Brizzle, the local boozer had it on tap.  :y

It caused many a headache!  ::)  ;D

Jeez...have you no taste? All three of those are f@ckin awful  :o

My favourite is Tuborg but it`s getting difficult to get at the moment so it`s either Corona or Peroni, which is a lovely drink but boy does it give me a bad head  ;D

Talking of dogs, does anyone remember Dogbolter from the Firkin pubs?   ???

No? It probably caused many a case of amnesia to be honest!  :-\  ::)

Evil stuff!  ;D

Traditional "London" Porter - Brewed in Hampshire.  ::)

Confirms what I always suspected; that when driving east from Gods own Somerset you entered London shortly after passing Stonehenge.

OK. Not sure what the traditional brew is in Basingstoke where it's made. Staropramen probably isn't far off. ;)
