I hate Pernod and black. Or just Pernod even.

One of the times I was really ill that sticks out for me was after drinking White Lightening.

Vile stuff and the only reason I went for it was I had a thing for K Cider at the time, was stuck at some wedding reception, and that was the only thing resembling cider the place had in stock.

Sick as a dog all night and slept in the front garden.

I used to love Pernod and black when I was younger.

In that pub in Trimley St Mary I used to drink half a pint of scrumpy with half a pint of Guinness on top in a pint glass. That was disgustingly delicious.

Scrumpy and Guinness is a new one on me.

We used to do snakebites (Lager & Cider) as students with a "depth charge" - a shot in a glass at the bottom.

If you haven't woken up in a garden, preferably not you own, at least once in your life, you really need to up yer game :-)

Funny enough for me it would be Duvel lager which incredibly enough is brewed in the same Belgian town as the Pfizer vaccination is produced.

One beer, one liqueur. Both equally nasty.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

....when everyone was panic buying, the only lager you could get in some places was Corona.

Nobody was touching it.

True story.

The general public are idiots.

I used to think that, until I discovered Czech lager. Belgian and German beers are also pretty good.

The sh1t we dish up on draught in most English pubs is borderline criminal.

38% of yanquis will no longer drink Corona. I mean, it's not a great beer, but it isn't a great advert for the American education system either.

Remember it well. Pictures of bare shelves down the beer aisles with only Corona lager for sale.

The world has gone mental in many many ways the past 12 months, no debate.

German beer purity law, innit. But agreed, you can't really go wrong for beer in Prague or most of Germany. Weissbier isn't drinkable after one glass of it, I find.

Namibia follow the German beer rules (ex colony) and make Windhoek lager. Is genuinely one of the nicest lagers I've ever tasted and is like £1 a pint in Southern Africa too :-)

So much nicer that the SAB brands if you are ever down there.

As a student I worked as a barman. Someone ordered a Guinness shandy. It looked awful.

In the midlands and Liverpool, quite a few older people drink a mix of Mild and Guinness.

Is called "50/50" in the midlands and "mixed" in Liverpool.

Is primarily around bringing the cost down given the expense of Guinness and value of mild. Still get the overiding taste of the Guinness.

Some of the homemade beers in Vietnam were remarkably excellent, and cost the equivalent of 8 pence a glass.
Only downside of this was trying to perch on plastic chairs designed for 5 year olds after a few too many.
