Youri McAnespie Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Who buys snacks? Is it the Blue Oyster bar or sommat? It's a canny trick to only serve halves though. It's actually more cash per ml than with the can gyp, less overheads too. Quote

Seen a poster off here on twatter earlier showing the menu. Fancying it myself at some point looks good Quote

It's actually more cash per ml than with the can gyp, less overheads too. I think anything above 7% is served as halves. Last time I went I had 7 or so pints with an average abv of about 6.5% and when I got home I’d done a small wee in my pants Quote

Going take my mums fella for an afternoon session at some point as a treat for him. Will of course hide the abv and see how he feels when he tries to stand up Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) My mam and dad had a caravan in Cumbria (pikey fuckers) - the bitter was off at the local pub once so my old man drank his usual pintage but in Theakston's Olde Peculiar. My mam was not impressed with his state on the walk 'home', flashbacks of his wilder days, so she shoved him into a ditch... Edited April 15, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote

jmjhb Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Brewtap prices always tend to be very reasonable because of relatively low overheads Quote

He actually stopped supping almost altogether by his standards after her passing. Cut down to one or two bottles of Guinness Original per day from her death to his some six years later - she'd have been really pissed off about that, his newfound temperance. Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I might give it a go then, when all the novelty New Years Eve 'likes' hungry attention thumbcocks have fucked off back to baking cakes or banging pans... After all the hype this Blood Machines better be like The Virgin Mary's lovejuice after she'd ate a few tins of Del Monte peaches. Quote

Even the 8.2% stuff, which we ended up necking as the driver was waiting. Not a good idea. Pizza wasn’t on, but there were burgers, iirc. Quote
