Don't get me wrong, if this was 2005 I'd be sneering at anyone spending more than £3 on a pint

I used to be baffled, and still am to a degree, by anyone paying £3 for a coffee

Nice beer is nice beer though

Course, for me plenty of good premium lagers at cracking prices.

regarding coffee yes some outlets charge ridiculous prices for absolute shite, the Mrs gets off on costa

I bet you're a laugh at parties aren't you? And for the record any emergency service can get lots of discounts through the blue light scheme.

Go on, tell me about this blue light scheme. I’d heard all about it whilst working but they ended up with about half a dozen businesses signed up to give emergency workers somewhere between 2.5% and 10% discount. That’s fine if you wanted a brand new car or a phone or whatever else is an, at best once a year purchase.

As an aside;

Currently Morrison’s give NHS staff 10% on production of a photo ID card. I know at least one paramedic who is shopping for all his neighbours and they, too, are enjoying his 10% discount. That’ll be the thing that gets the privilege taken away from them.

Once upon a time there was a Black and Decker staff shop in either Stockport or Trafford Park and they gave emergency services 25% discount. Again, a drill or similar is a one off purchase but certain emergency service employees ripped the arse out of it and were selling the stuff they bought on-line. The privilege was taken away.

Back on track, but sorting for my bar

Either this

or

Anyone got either of those?

Used to do work for a place that bottled wines and spirits in Irlam, they had a staff shop on site that was open on Thursdays and the workers could get wines at half the price it would be sold in the supermarkets. The story goes that one day the boss noticed one of the workers cars absolutely on its arse, one of them had filled his boot and back seats with the stuff to then sell on at a profit, and as usual, one greedy cunt ruined every body else's perk that they enjoyed and the shop was shut. 

Always someone that ruins it 🙄

No

The perfect draft system has jaipur, though, so dont rule that out

And id say availability of beers is prob the decider?

I think that reviewer on youtube reviewed the sub?

And hes done the blade

You can search the rest

 

 

Yeah the 2 litre kegs are a bit underwhelming in terms of choice but as a novelty i'm tempted.

The fucking way he throws that machine around! Prick. 

Reviewer is a knobhead too

Well, yes

But at least you get an opinion on it and see it

12 pints makes it the one id have as 3 or 4 sounds like a lot of messing

 

Especially with the massive head on those Heineken pints

Think he had a similar issue with the sub

 

I’ve a beer machine. I love it. Well worth the investment. Mine does 6L kegs.

My mate has a perfect draught and is always trying to get me to get one, there is a shop in Little Lever that does kegs and you can take your empty ones back there for recycling apparently.

Not sure i want on as i like the variety of having cans and bottles from lots of different breweries and Beerhawk.

Aye that’s what I have. I’ve 3 different ones at the moment. Spaten, Lowebrau and Jupiler (1 at a time obviously) I do the empties myself for a fiver back a keg, dead easy and every 3 months or so I can order in theory a couple free kegs.

My only downside to it is once one runs out I haven’t perfected a way to get the next keg perfectly chilled. So still keep a few cans as I’ve a step son and neighbour that also like these beers. 
 

Shop near me does them now if I need an emergency top up like you say but I try and avoid as he hasn’t sorted the keg refund bit out yet. I send my empties back to the Spar in little lever, loads of places do it now.
 

Love the fact it’s (in my opinion) like a pub pint sitting out in the garden.

You jest

But 6th August might not be an unrealistic bet.

Fog from Rivvy brewery is a great beer, they've dropped the strength over time from about 7-8 percent 

Just had a Cloudwater delivery arrive today, cant wait to tuck in

Does this thread close on 04.07?

In the meantime, Faith from Northern Monk is nice

Just change it to pissheadery. 

While you're at it merge the coronavirus thread with:

In or out again

Meanwhile in America 

Reading

Donald dead cat in his head 

Tommy Robinson 

Katie Hopkins 

 

Second day running with no ale, carry on like this and I'm in danger of passing the time by gardening or summat.
