Their magazine is great for the Brexit lover. Plenty on how we'll thrive if you care to peruse when sipping your Ruddles. Good crossword also. You only win 'Spoons vouchers.

DieselDaisy Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 One thing about London is, how is there even such a thing as alcoholism or a drink problem in London? You couldn't afford it at a fiver a pint. I'd be teetotal if I lived in London. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed in London is the way everybody just takes their pint on the street. You see this a bit in all cities including Newcastle, but it is stranger when you have all these stockbroker types in the business hub (where all those shardy gherkin crappy buildings are) having lunchtime pints on the pavement.

I was reading it the other week in my local and there was a feature on Brexit claiming to give an objective view from both sides of the argument. They had a number of articles written by leavers and remainers so that was a good start but all the articles also had a comment section written by Tim Martin explaining how all the Brexiteers articles were spot on and all the remainers were talking bollocks.

Man of absolute sense. Have you see that your lot, the remainers, instigated a ''Boycott 'Spoons'' campaign. Ehh, good luck with that. He has chopped- off his mullet, Tim Martin.

It's pretty much the norm everywhere these days. I drink real ale which is cheaper so where I live it is basically £3.50-£4 in a normal pub, £2 in a 'spoons. I should have clarified that when discussing beer in London (I was drinking London Pride and shite like that). I shudder to think what a pint of wife beater is in London!! I have heard ''rumours'' of the £10 pint but never come across it. £4-6 is fairly normal for a mass produced ''premium'' lager like Stella and Peroni I think (it has been that long since I drank that stuff) in the Toon. Only £4.10 or something for a pint of London Pride in the Lord's Pavilion. Cheapest beer in London. They aren't ripping off the poshers.

Manchester probably have the best craft breweries in England now. Lots of great sours and NEIPAs and even beer with ice and chocolate sprinkles. You are lucky to live so close to Manchester.

And you Ah, right, cask ales arent as sharply effervescent but still have a nice head iirc. I was looking through my brew log but couldnt find the categories in Souls description, haha. But cask is in there. Cellar temperature brews I think. Here "local" is some new buzzword, but you've been doing it that way forever. Here the local breweries will sometimes "cask condition" some of their usual offerings to switch things up. So stuff like Bass? Fullers ESB? As far as large scale export ones.
