Whilst she doesn't seem to be around, shall we move this on to more important topics?

Top 5 pints.

Rules:
1. Has to be alcoholic. Say 2% + to rule out this low/no alcohol new fangled stuff.
2. Has to be a pint, none of this bottled malarkey.

I'm off to contemplate my top 5...

On Fray Bentos, I developed a taste for them at uni as my southern friends thought it would be funny to keep buying the northerner a "pie in a tin". And free food is free food.

Pints is a great shout. Top two spots are defo filled:

1) Wainwrights
2) Tribute

I'm off to have a think about the rest.

Fuller's do a couple of lovely sub 4%ers: Oliver's Island and Seafarer's.

Is this still "of all time" or "here and now?"

Assuming all time.

1) Boddingtons, before they made it like pop.
2) Sir Josephs' finest (Holts)
3) A new entrant - Brewdog Elvis Juice.
4) Current fave, lower alcohol than #3 Brewdog Clockwork Tangerine
5) Opengate Citra IPA

1/ Timothy Taylor's Landlord
2/ Wychwood Hobgoblin
3/ Robinson's Trooper
4/ Cumbrian Ales' Loweswater Gold
5/ Bank Top Dark Mild

Jennings Snecklifter would be at No. 2, however, it's currently been mothballed by the brewers. Cockermouth pillocks!

Up to you, specify a vintage if you like. This is a poll for blokes, by blokes. So no onerous regulations or splitting hairs :D

1 - Erdinger Weissbier
2 - Estrella
3 - Paulaner
4 - Wainwrights
5 - Various interchangeable Brewdog IPAs

If we're harking back to the Halcyon days, then I would have to include:

Boddies (original)
Caffreys (crazy loopy juice)
Carling Premier (bitter-y lager / lager-y bitter)

Good call on the German beers - I'd add proper Warsteiner to that list too!

Have you not noticed that top 5 pints is controversy free, collaborative and genuinely informative? :mrgreen:

What you mean? Not a Tennents Super or Gold Label anywhere on this thread. Just a nice mix of continental, new fangled IPAs and good old traditional beer..

I’m going to add....

3. Erdinger Weissbier - especially when supped in Munich airport whilst waiting for mates, before one of the most memorable games in the clubs history. (Great shout dtm)
4. Marston’s Pedigree
5. Menabrea

That could change tomorrow!

New category - Best games you’ve attended.

My top 5. Sod it 6!
1. Tied Hull away and Reading play off final - Magnificent occasions!
3. Liverpool away FA Cup - When we first started to believe we were going places with Bruce. Rioch, not Rioja! Knocking out the holders on their own patch.
4. Arsenal away FA Cup - Knocking out the holders on their own patch. Again! 😎 Sorry. Not sorry. GG
5. Everton away FA Cup - Back on the giant killing trail and coming back from 2 down to win 3-2.
6. Forest - The Wilbraham game! Jack Dearden’s commentary still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I was right in line with the ball as it angled into the corner of the net!

Any of those could be interchangeable dependent on when you ask me and how much I’ve had to drink when you ask!

Bubbling under and arguably the most important of all (in terms of the wider football world). Liverpool 0 Arsenal 2 - Last minute Mickey Thomas goal to win the league for the Gunners. Surrounded by crying Scousers. fecking glorious! A scene I will take to my grave! 😂😎
