Is your name based after the town just outside of Hull?

If so I lived there for a little while.

It is indeed Scrug. Not a bad place to live to be fair. A1079 can be a bit tedious at times but other than that it’s fine. Good rail links to Brid, Scarbados, London and Sheffield. And the Wolds are a hidden gem.
A pretty racecourse, and historic Minster, what more could you ask for!

I thought it was a beautiful place, as I said Nellies was dangerous with how cheap it was and there were loads of nice restaurants too.

"So anyone who has an alternative view or wants to point out something that doesn't fit the narrative on here is 'winding people up' ?
Oh well, I'm guilty as charged then"

9.38am:
"Well I like a light, ice cold lager on a warm day, as do a lot of people so stop being a booze snob".

My point is you're name calling anyone who has an alternative viewpoint to you, the exact thing you complained of only minutes earlier. But then, you already knew that.

I wasn't accusing anyone of being a wind up merchant.... there's no malice on my part kid 👍You've made a VERY tenuous link....
 
I never seen or had Madri in Spain, I've only had it over here once, that was because the other options were the usual kak we get over here., I knew from the 1st sip I had been suckered by good branding it is the biggest pile of **** I have had for a while.
 
Never liked Fosters, but use to like Carling when I was younger, but couldn't stand that now either.

Erdinger, Camden Pale Ale, or a good IPA for me these days. That said, a nice cold Stella on draught is still decent!

Edit: Forgot to mention Lost Lager by Brewdog - very nice drink.

I'm an IPA/real ale man myself. The only thing I won't touch in that line are the cloudy craft ales. Bleurgh!
 
Wife bought some Stella cans a few weeks back, was awful. Down to 4.6 / 4.8 %? Did not enjoy it at all.
 
I used to be a big pub goer, but getting married and having kids has changed my drinking habits. I enjoy doing an online beers or Europe shop, buying loads of different beers I’d usually never get the chance to try, there really is some seriously good beer out there if you can just find it. I drink them in the safety and comfort of my living room on a weekend with some boxset and I’m fairly content!

Even more so when I recently paid £6.70 for a pint of madri in a local restaurant pub, and I don’t live anywhere near London so to pay that was a real shocker!

not really sure what you mean by cloudy beer?! do you mean unfined - its just the same, but hasn't been filtered by finings.... doesn't really taste any different?

and given that finings are often made from fish bladders..... you might find filtered beer more bleurrgghhh!
 
Could never take to fosters always preferred Carling or Coors.
Nowadays I’m a beer snob drinking those cloudy craft beers, love a sour. Can’t get away with lager at all now and much prefer to not bother than drink Carling, Fosters etc.

I have to wonder how close to Galahad has fosters become?

I mean the range of new craft beers I come across.
 
I drink real ale but I love a pint of quality lager when the time is right.
Lager though, is often the victim/beneficiary of clever marketing. In my lifetime Italy has never been known as a great brewing nation but now, with the aid of TV adverts featuring cool young Italians passing bottles down from balcony to balcony on the end of a rope, I see people drinking nothing but Italian lagers. Madri is a beneficiary as it is just a typical eurofizz lager owned by Molson Coors. There are some great lagers in Spain, and even San Miguel (but not the stuff brewed in Northampton) is better.
 
Funny how people's tastes differ.

Love Hoegaarden but my mates hate it. Couple of mates hate lager, prefer beer or craft ales.

Very much each to their own👍
