Re: Beer thread..
Don't think they make the rum finish innis and gunn any more, Mike. It's been replaced by Blood Red Sky, a dark red beer brewed in rum casks.
Currently working my way through a variety box of badger ales, 8 quid for 6 big bottles out of Sainsbury, at the moment. A selection of Fursty Ferret, Golden Champion, Hopping Hare, and the classic, Tangle Foot.
All lovely beers, 4 golden ales, 4 completely different tastes. Yum.

Anyone tried the rhinebacher at Aldi? It’s only £1.20 for a pint bottle and is German pure, very similar to warstiener which is another good beer

Beer to me is a bit like fishing, too much of it to enjoy but not enough life to do it all........

Re: Beer thread..
Picked a few of these up in Sainsbury’s today 660 ml .
90 pence a bottle instead of £1.80 not a bad price ,
Not the strongest at 4% ,but not a bad pint

Kasteel Donker 11% is an absolute phenomenal beer. It’s a real sipping beer to be enjoyed, served better in a nice glass and ice cold

Re: Beer thread..
Spent some years on the other side. Germany, Belgium, Holland etc. Some terrific beers/lagers to be found there.
One that particularly took a shine to me was the Dutch "nectar" Highly recommended.

Hobgoblin in Asda last week at a £1 a bottle. Very nice beer that, I like to enjoy it whilst sat on the sofa watching the footie during wintertime afternoons.

I like a lot of Belgium and German beers too. Chimay Blue, Delerium tremens, Duvel and most from Erdinger for starters.

As a contractor for a big company I was once sent to Burton on Trent to set up site. On one of my many cheeky afternoons off I went for a wander down the canal and found a beer house that sold Marstons Pedigree from a jug. Blimey I have no recollection of making it back along the towpath! Marvellous!!!

Re: Beer thread..
If you like lagers, Aldi and Lidl both do a couple of good ones.
Sainte ettienne from Aldi is, I think a stella rip off but a nice lager, rheinbacher also from Aldi is good, perlenbacher is, I reckon Lidls answer to the same beer and a nice drink. Lidl also do what I think is another stella rip off, galeraux, it's ok

Lidl do perlenbacher in 2 different sizes, a 500 ml with a screw top and 330ml 6 pack, but they're actually different beers. The smaller bottle is the nicer of the 2.
Green gecko ipa out of Lidl is nice for a supermarket own brand, and only 1.25 for a big bottle.
And at the risk of sounding pedantic, the saint ettiene and galereux brands are more kronenberg rip offs I think!

As popular brands go, I like Peroni, or hop house 13 from guiness.
