When my pub landlord informed me Stella Artois is brewed in Wales instead of Belgium, I felt so cheated that I went home immediately and beat the wife.

Set up nicely for the decider in Sydney
Jim Pike, not a name you hear much these days. Used to play in the long gone Rising Sun, so I was told. Still got a set of his brass barrels, somewhere. Strange shafts, 4 bits of wire with a sliding ring to lock in the paper flights. How that game has risen in popularity is amazing.

Just got in from a very wet State of Origin game at Perth Stadium, great game finishes QLD 26 NSW 24. Enjoyed a couple of pints of Castlemaine XXXX I remember you could get that in the UK back in the 80’s can you still get it there?

In 2012, Simon celebrated his testimonial with AFC Wimbledon in a home match against a West Ham XI - OS 12/05/2019
"Tonight let money be no object. I'll have a pint of JC". Courage persuading people that because they are overcharging for beer, the they'll think it's good. Similarly - "Stella - reassuringly expensive".

My dad went to a Watneys Red Barrel promotion where Jim Pike the top darts player of the day was paid by them to do exhibitions in pubs that would sell their beer. My dad had the misfortune to be selected to have a couple of their little barrels (about 1/2" tall) placed on his ears in front of a dartboard to be knocked off, but with 5" nails.

Fair play in trusting him enough to do it, got a set of his darts and a signed photo as a reward. And yes JP did it without drawing blood twice.
Having lunch in our village cafe, all blokes wearing shorts, hope our fashion guru Spit approves

Whitbread Tankard Trophy bitter - the pint that thinks it's a quart.

My Dad used to buy cans of Long Life. I remember how hard the cans were to crush.

WJ (and others) - cheers. Funny how the "much missed" brands were actually quite shit.

Only two alcoholic drinks I really like are Irish Stout and German lager. I would struggle to drink much else these days, taste wise.
REPD - you can SEE the hops in Ben Truman

At least, you could in Nelsons
The Young’s pubs used to be pretty good quality and reliable (even if a bit expensive) but since the split between the PubCo and BrewCo they seem to have gone massively down hill and now just super generic, bad service, etc. It’s a shame really.

Madri has a better flavour than Carling in fairness. We tend to drink it when we play skittles in a place that doesn't look after its ale.

Took me years to realise Charrington Bowl in Tolworth was something to do with beer.
At the half moon in the late 80s for gigs it was always a bottle of tuborg lager,never liked any of the youngs draught muck.

Champion,Kew gold and double chocolate stoute acceptable in bottles though
They have brought Kroneberg back in the spoons 4.6% but it ain't a patch on the 5%stuff we use to get.

Youngs london premier lager was yuk
Young's London lager was terrible. As soon as guest beers were allowed they took on Stella. No contest. Before that all I could drink were bottles of Ramrod.

Too many expensive Young's pubs in SW London, not enough Wetherspoons.
For those of us old enough to remember it Saxon lager is easily the worse lager ever.
