thewelk Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 This annoys the heck outta me, firstly why the need to excess. One clear answer. The round system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitre Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ps (hope I'm not breaking board rules) join camra £23 per year, gives £20 vouchers for Wetherspoons. Monthly paper, quarterly magazine, discount at some pubs (was pleased as punch using it in the judges at Partick cross before the Georgia hand) and festivals. Do they no fling in a trimmer for your beard and some spare buttons for your cardigan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Me too. It reeks of hipsters trying too hard. Or marketing men trying too hard. To be honest I never ca it craft beer - it's just beer. And Innes and gunn is pretty special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 People slagging off proper beer is quite cringy and really just smacks of people trying to ridecule something because their own sense of taste is so shite that they drink mass produced fizzy piss. Being honest I often drink lager in the pub but even I appreciate proper beer rather than that rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Edit to say, drink what you want but appreciate others preferences and more sophisticated tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Drink what you want just be aware your taste buds are retarded compared to mine EDIT: I don't drink now, i used to drink Guinness and glayva or highland park. Although would drink stella or best or tennets, struggling to remember some of them, leffe blond or something used to take that as a carry-out to houses, also drank loads of wine, used to get 3 bottles for a tenner out of haddows. Drink miller or bud bottles, big bottles of budvar, drank cider as well, merrydown, even used to drink buckfast and QC sherry. Mind used to get becks on tap a few places that was alright. Sitting down for a drink and blether would normally be Guinness though. Edited November 30, 2014 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanTokyo Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The likes of Brewdog have tried to own the term 'craft beer', attacking the large breweries as if having scale = lacking quality. Well some of their own beers are average at best so I guess they must be pretty scalable. I've just taken a group of customers out to the Pilsner Urquell brewery. Just because it is owned by a multi-national doesn't mean it isn't crafted. In fact I would argue it is one of the most crafted beers you can get. 5 week brewing process. Triple decoction. Parallel brewed to ensure it is the same as the very first batch in 1842. Every drop still brewed in Pilsen. 7 coopers on site (would struggle to fin pd many breweries with one these days). Having a big brewery behind it did cause some controversy but the advantage is that it can now be transported, fresh and refrigerated, as far as LA and New Zealand. It means it can now be found unpasteurised in 4 pubs in London. Yet some in he 'craft beer' world would argue this was a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flure Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 What is the definition of "craft beer"? Is it just the size of the brewery? Is home brew "craft"? J And while we're at it - what makes a "boutique hotel" boutique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTokyo Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 And while we're at it - what makes a "boutique hotel" boutique? The Kings Arms hotel in Kyleakin describes itself as boutique so I guess the definition is "a dated shithole" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
