Can you be more specific - 2 or 4 fingers? 

Or the Norfolk version - of 6! 

I could eat the 6, £2?

12st 12lb so yes I’d say.

There was a sign up at the Watford game apologising for the cans, I believe it's a temporary situation due to a shortage of plastic bottles.

£4.50 to not get sloshed, you may aswell have a sprite or something

I missed too many goals drinking before matches😉

 

[corbs 147]

I miss the Yeatmans.

I used to find it oddly enjoyable to be in the concourse with a drink, and just miss a home goal.

Carling is to lager what masturbation is to sex. Sorta related to the matter in hand, yet totally different. Or it's like shagging in a canoe because it's f**king close to water.

Granted, I'm near as dammit teetotal but my stance on booze is dead simple, namely if it's not brewed in line with the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot, I'm definitely not drinking it, and even then Holsten and Becks would be sorta drank under protest as that's the sort of stuff the Germans export because they have nicer stuff to drink.

Hard to get a really cold Jever anywhere though. That's my tipple of choice.

If you want to stick properly to the Reinheitsgebot you should be drinking beer with no yeast 😉

Not completely, although technically you are absolutely right that yeast isn't mentioned in the Reinheitsgebot (which basically says it should be water, barley and hops to be sold as beer and anything else added to it, such as sugar syrups and such mean you couldn't put "beer" on the label). It was still used in brewing back then though and the likelihood is simply that the brewers of the time simply saw yeast as part of the brewing process rather than an ingredient in it.

Fermentation wasn't really understood fully back in 1516 when the Law was written.

There are only two qualities I look for in a pint.

Mass-produced and fizzy.

[A Load of Squit 6,260]

I've never understood why anything should be fizzy and I'm one of the (from this post) rare people who doesn't feel the need to have alcohol at every event they attend. I'm not tee-total, I just think other people seem to be obsessed by drink.

And I've never understood the point of eating non-hallucinogenic mushrooms. Taste is subjective, we don't all have to like the same things.

They didn’t know yeast existed when it was written that’s why many brewers fermented in open containers, they didn’t know it was wild yeast that fermented beer. I don’t think it was discovered until the mid 1800s when Carlsberg isolated it and used the specific strain to brew his lager where the consistency then came from.

Bearing in mind our current drought I’d recommend getting p*ssed to the point of oblivion 😀

Sounds about right. The yeast would be in the product, they just didn't know it by name.

Paper cup, filled from a 2l bottle bought at Morrisons for 99p on offer after Christmas.  That's what I call marginal  gains.

Cant beat drinking out of a Christmas themed paper cup, in early March! 

Letting off a lame party popper 🎉 too. 

Sums up the season thus far..... 

OTBC.

Out of interest TGS, do you know if they’ve changed the way that Becks is brewed recently? My wife used to drink it as it was the only beer/lager that she didn’t get an allergic reaction to, but now she gets it from that too.

Did you enjoy it? 

 

Peroni is the equivalent of carling in Italy. Their cheap accessible lager available from the supermarkets. 

 

Yet in the UK, people perceive it as a lovely pint and pay the 2nd highest average price per pint for it (after Camden Hells). Funny what marketing can do to people's perceptions and minds 😄
