Stella lowered from 5.2% to 4.8% to try get rid of the wife beater stereotype apparently lol, I dunno how true that is.
also its taxed higher i think as well. could be wrong, but i think thats why strongbow got lowered as well

New pub drink for me is Tyskie, can get it at any wetherspoons I think. Deadly though, it's like 5.6/7%, it's like £2.40 for a 550ml bottle and it's so smooth/light, you can drink it like water. When me and my mates took a punt on it the first time, we were fucking bladdered walking home, but you don't really notice it.
I like it. Big up Poland.

LaChouffe is where it's at. drink one on your own, down a .75l bottle of Chimay Bleu on top of it and it's the most mellow and agreeable slightly drunk feeling you'll ever get.

I'll knock you out mate. Strawpedoes can only come into play after minimum 8 pints, and even then it's only about the competition. Skittle bombs are a farce.

Recent revelation for me that it came in tins, used to just grab it in the "world beer" deals section in tesco, then spotted the tins.

Allready mentioned it but this stuff was nice!
I dont know how much of that is down to how cheap it was but it really was cheaper than water
Everyone rates Angkor over there put pffft
This was nice in Turkey
Out to the ninja that said about the comedians getting coffee, been craking up for the last 40mins. The Ricky Gervais one had me in tears, the bit about eggs especially.
