Rusty Nuts Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Haven't had one today as I don't drink that often but planning on having a Doombar on Sunday. Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Can't resist posting a repeat image of a pint of my home brew - tastes as good as it looks... Several years later... 1 Quote
Hemsley Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 Not sure about the stuff Andy is drinking, looks a bit off to me. That home brew looks silky smooth. This evening it's been Pilsners. Men Pils apparently. I wish I could be sipping a real ale, or some of that Duval... Quote

SootySport Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 My fave Weiss Beer is 'Berchesgarten Weiss' If anyone knows where you can buy it in the UK let me know. Quote

DonPeffers Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Non-drinker now as old bones won't take it. Just glad I didn't drink 3.7% ABV Carling thinking it was 4% ABV----see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4824800/Carling-lied-alcohol-lager.html "Not quite Carling" as the very apt sales slogan goes. How does the collective feel about the fact that the quoted ABV can be overstated by 0.5% and still be UK legal? Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 That's more than a 12% discrepancy'! It's outrageous! Half a percentage point on a mere 4% ABV or 12.5% of the alcohol content so does HMRC or whomsoever that levies duty cut the charge by 12.5%? No? Probably not. Quote
DonPeffers Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Can you imagine ordering a pint (568 ml.) and getting 500 ml. (or half a litre) instead ie. 1/8th less than what you ordered and paid for? Rip-off Britain or what? Quote
