One of them had actually had gooseberry juice and SALT added. Lesson learned. Always select your own ale. I ended up pouring loads of it down the sink. It was taking up valuable cupboard/fridge space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted May 4, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2020 The only ones that didn’t have some sort of fruit juice added were the 2% ones. What kind of cunt wants a dollop if tangerine juice added to an IPA? The glasses were nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave2980 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For those of you that are partial to a drop of Brewdog and/or westons cider have a look on Facebook for a group called Boozedog. A lad I know has got a load of stuff in that he's flogging and delivering round Bolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Tesco visit before so am in even though was supposed to be out. They're flogging off the CRATE stuff for 90p a 330ml can, it's not the one that I like but if you are careful and don't get the session one then there's about 4.6% which ain't a bad deal. Mate of mine jumped on that Brewdog deal just for the Jack Hammer, they did a couple of replacements on one of the lines but 2 glasses and delivered he said he was happy enough. Keep talking a good game about knocking it on the head or only drinking at weekend and buying local etc but it doesn't seem to be happening.

jeep Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I got treated to a 750ml bottle of 6.6% Leffe and a 660ml bottle of Hoegarden (sp?) from a friend. I got them really cold in the fridge beforehand. They were okay, in fact I enjoyed them, but I don't think I could drink more than a couple of bottles before getting tired of it. Rather drink dry cider or a decent 5% lager.....

A cold one, from the fridge on a hot day was always welcome. A well kept pint, 12 degrees from a cellar, great. "Warm" beer is yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Adnams NEIPA 6% 330ml cans for 69p at Home Bargains (Burnden one at least)... They also had some 'craft' ciders and fruit ciders for 99p (500ml) and some 500ml bottles of some Turkish lager (not EFEs) for £1.19. Was quiet too.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 There were around twenty tins on the shelf (7pm) - dunno if they had more in stock... They often have decent stuff in at Burnden HB - often around or even less than a quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Space is fairly limited so only twenty being on the shelf isn't necessarily an indication of how many are left...there wasn't 'spare' space around them to suggest they'd been rinsed... The main demographic who shop there aren't exactly craft beer types 😊 Edited May 5, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Good stuff, they've got it in other branches, then? It's a nice drop - I had a single can last night as a treat, reminded me of a draught lager I had in Wigan about three years ago, Blonde Witch? Think it was that anyway.
