Smuggle in your own MGD subby. You are unworthy of decent brew.

Decent beers still taste good when they're warm.

What about the flood of cheap Chinese beer mentioned in another thread?

Not really.

Perhaps this is a good thing since more people will turn to brewing their own if it means having good beer at a reasonable price. Nothing like having a home brewery to bring out a little community spirit.

Snow will be the cheap beer in London. A Norfolk bitter will run you about 20 quid.

I kept trying to focus on the article but the beer and titties would not allow me. Is it something important?

Subby obviously doesn't understand the difference between a larger and an ale.

/don't like ale
//paid £2.50 a pint in London

This is why I don't drink out, especially at the local casinos. I splurged once at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods and spent $11 on what I did not expect to be an 8 oz beer and a Midori sour for my girlfriend. At least at Mohegan Sun you can get a nice 22 oz beer of the tribe's micro brew.

Your best bet is getting together with friends for house parties, getting pizzas and stuff delivered, barbecuing, whatever 'cause it's cheaper. Going to the strip club is wicked expensive too and they aren't anything spectacular. Besides, at some point, it's like "oh, wow, titties--big farking deal".

Is that the same as 5% lesbian? Or is there a conversion factor?

As an American brought up on the myth that beer must only be served cold, I can say that any quality beer will taste good at room temperature, but not necessarily warm. If it's only tolerable when it's cold, it has something cheap and nasty in it to hide.

I just arrived in London last week for my semester abroad and "sticker shock" would be an understatement.

Salisbury's has 2-litre Strongbow's for 3 pounds though, so that helps.

Psst - Sun, I don't think those words mean what you think they do.

On the other hand, crap, Grolsch is owned by Coor's? Ah - Grolsch NV (Dutch for Inc.) owns 51%. Suck it, Colorado. I was afraid I'd have to switch brands, assuming Adolf still runs Coors.

/think I'll grab a pumpkin homebrew out the fridge
//Amstedam pints are usually about EUR 5, fwiw

The current average price of a pint of lager is £2.65, with beer at £2.45, according to the Campaign For Real Ale.

By the way, the waitresses at Oktoberfest in Munchen (at least at the Hofbrauhaus) are on average 24 years older and 35 kilos heavier than most of these pics.

Dirndls are a very good thing, though.

You will, when you're paying 20 bucks a pound for your steak due to the rising cost of grain.

I'm glad I homebrew. I think the absolute most I would end up paying for ingredients is about 80 bucks for 5 gallons worth of barleywine. The price significantly drops if I go all grain.

So you're saying someone created a beer goggles camera and that's what they look like after your 5th stein of beer?

Interesting.

Now that we are talking about warm beer, here is a joke that anybody who has ever owned a classic British car already knows.

Q: Why do the British drink their beer warm?
A: Because Lucas Electric makes their refrigerators.

/1966 Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk 2 was my first car. The first thing I did to it was put in a stereo. Nobody told me the ground was positive. Never gave me a bit of trouble after I found that out.
