Madri

As I'm a bit of a corporate hipster Camden Hells takes some beating on the lager side of things and Neck Oil I can drink like a fish.

Neck Oil has really grown on me the last few years. But, on the Friday of the weekend that shan’t be mentioned, it cost me £8.50 for a pint of it near Euston and I’ve never touched it since out of sheer stubbornness.

We got in the Camden bar at Wembley. Top notch stuff indeed.

I call in the White Horse at Harwood occasionally and it's Neck Oil for me.

It's all a bit odd, Asahi is Japanese but the stuff we drink is brewed here, but they also own Peroni, which is still brewed in Italy I think. 

 

As mentioned further above though, German beers tend to be the best, in my opinion.

Not tried it (knowingly). Might try a couple of bottles tonight.

Peroni still brewed in Italy apparently. The red one is far superior to blue but rarely seen over here.

Is Asahi brewed over here?

Pretty sure the last one I had said brewed in the EU under license

Over the lake District i have had Loweswaters Gold a few times, its a light golden ale and personally i think its delicious but never seen it anywhere apart from around the lakes.

I found some beermats of Loweswaters Gold in a pub in Lancaster but they never had the beer and denied they had ever even heard of it , but all their beer mats on tables.🤷

Lovely pint that. They have it in the Goose and Gander in Blackrod/Little Scotland

Holidaying in Garda a few years ago Lidl were selling these at €1 a piece. I'm not a big larger drinker but bought a few of each. Never seen them over here.

I think we had a membership as they allowed teachers to have them at one time.

Love to give them two on the right a go. Hooked on the previously mentioned Victoria Marengo Negra at the moment and couldn't believe my luck yesterday when my local Dan Murphys 'bottle-O' had a shelf full of Shepherd Neame Double Stout. Grows hairs on your fucking hairs that stuff!

Aye, one near the Trafford centre and it's perpetually rammed 

They do really good food

Then you queue half an hour for petrol that's normally about 5p cheaper per litre

Was supping Madri last night at Bolton School at my mate's wedding reception - £5.50 a pint....

It's a cracking venue. We were in the old swimming pool....
