Casino Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Yeah, its 6 or more quid for some pints, but it keeps the peasants out Well worth the investment Quote

Traf Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 So, this farm thing, you pay £15 for the privilege of being allowed in so you can buy hipster beer at £6+ per pint? Quote

EFA. As for 'peasants' - I could be Geoff Bezos and I wouldn't pay those prices... Pine needles and milk have no place whatsoever in ale. I reckon' these so-called 'collabs' are just to firm up mutual pacts of silence over the murky side of this industry...It prevents 'rival' brewers breaking ranks and spilling the beans/whistleblowing. I'd be quite happy for the little Emperors to continue indulging in their fad, if only their capitulation to being overcharged didn't cause a wholesale upscaling of price across the board with ALL ale and booze. That isn't on. Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 I could probably nip to Home Bargains or Aldi right now and spend about £6-7, the price of a single can from Tommy Robinson's BeerGyppery, and purchase five or six cans that, blind tasted against some Rivi Crusty Mango bongwater DIPA you'd never had before... You wouldn't tell which from which. That goes for all of you. Wine tasting is art criticism. Craft ale supping is a piss poor excuse for getting drunk on overpriced trampjuice. Quote

I’ve tried all the Aldi craft ales and whilst they’re ok, for the main part they feel like there’s something missing. Probably aldehydes. But I like them, so bring it on. Quote

Some of it is very good but tends to be pricier than that foreign muck that’s full of antifreeze and farmhand sperm. Buying forrin wine is basically a win for remainers Quote
