I found out yesterday that you can be a camra membership for £25 a year and get discount when you buy your beer in a camra partner pub such as wetherspoons. If you are out often you could make some savings.  Link

@ricedg Got a pint @ £1.35. 3p cheaper than my last one. ?

Also tried some bitter at 5.8 vol yesterday. One was enough. So nasty I left half of it. That was in Wetherspoons but can not remember what it was.

Was expecting Nikon on Pentax discounts 🙂 CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) A few pubs here do it….the Railway in Hornchurch for exmple (Ember Inns – don’tthink all their local pubs do it though). Worth looking out for though if you drink in thosepubs enough. Round here £25 membership would mean you break even at around 65 – 70 pints a year.

Sorted ?

Our English ale & lager doesn’t take to higher alcohol very well IMO. Belgian blond beer on the other hand never tastes as strong as it is.

Got a Brewdog mixed can pack with the shopping. 3 x Punk IPA, Dead Pony Club, Elvis Juice and Indie Pale Ale. Marvellous.

They had that Punk IPA when I went to Croatia on Easyjet last year which surprised me – quite pleasant. Our big tescos sells it, seems to be getting quite mainstream now.

It’s even better out of the pump. We have a Brewdog pub in Bristol now and I noticed one near Tower Hill, across the road from the Hung, Drawn and Quartered (good Fullers pub). Didn’t go in as we were in the HD & Q to get some grub; Fullers do nice pies as well as beer.

Is that out of a hand pump or electric Dave – saw it on an Electric pump in the Wetherspoons at Viictoria Station – it was £5.60! Not seen it on a hand pump but would definitely try it if I found somewhere doing it. Probably the nicest of these “craft beers” although you probably can’t call it that now the amount they shift of it.

[Dave Rice]

Electric I’m afraid.

[blacklion1725]

Ah never mind – might still have a punt if I see it at a decent price. Electric pumps everything seems to come out lager-cold which is too coldfor an IPA (for me anyway). They’ve got Atlantic IPA in one of the pubs I use and it is ice cold – the Greene King os on a hand pump and just right (cool but not cold). All personal but as bad as a warm lager for me.

[Dave Rice]

Well that decided what beer tonight.
