My one and only time in Denmark was spent consuming large quantities of some local brew to Odense. No idea what it was called, but it was bloody good and very cheap when bought by the (multiple) crate at the supermarket.

It was probably Albani, AT. Lovely. If you (or indeed anyone else) finds themselves on the Jutland side of Denmark then I implore you track down a beer called 'FUR' which is brewed on the tiny Danish island of Fur (there's an umlaut over the u, BTW). It's delicious.

We should turn it into a traveller's beer guide. When in Sweden, Mariestads. Drinks like a refreshing pale ale. Top notch. :drink:

Green label carlsberg on the continent is excellent. Pilsner on the whole over there is tremendous. We drink and suffer shite over here. Thick, tangy craft bollocks, brewdog marketed-to-arseholes shite, pissy fecking lager or some claggy mild/bitter. Complections in old faces like sad drips. I could quite happily move to belgium and drink Jupiler or Maes. :pissed:

Equidistant (pretty much) between the Stag Brewery at Mortlake and the Fullers Brewery in Chiswick. One produces bottled American piss, the other flat ale. It's not good I'm afraid. :hang:

I know I've been down here a while but Fullers is all right! Pride is the only thing consistently drinkable down here.

Pride, yes. If you can find it the McMullen's IPA is passable (Hertfordshire Brewery)

That's the problem down here, finding things. There's a pub in Farringdon that does Wainwrights, but as much as I love it, I'm not popping there everytime I want a pint.

You're only really confident of getting Pride or Doom Bar, and whilst I like the latter, it's temperamental, and so is often shite if they don't know what they're doing looking after it.

ESB is decent too (though only 1, mind!) TBF, I had sommat of Fullers the other week that was fecking awful. Gold pump-clip. But yeah, I'd settle for an all day session on't Pride by the river tomorrow.

How come they haven't managed how to make it taste proper over here?

I always have a couple of bottles of Becks in't fridge in case of a hot day. Made the mistake when out the other day of ordering a pint of draught lager when out and could barely finish it. Tastes like bread washed down wi bleach.

Also had my once annual reminder that cider is a much better idea than it is reality. That's how I know summer is coming!

TBH its the same with San Miguel, tastes nicer on the continent than over here :conf:

Also a shout out to the good ol' US of A when i was in NY for its "Blue Moon" (and now available in Tesco), what a tremendous drink that is.

I'd also like to vote this thread as the most "Premature Ejaculation of all Threads", seeing as the transfer window doesnt open for another 3 & 1/2months :spank:

Bollocks. Drink Marstons Pedigree brewed traditionally using the Union brewing technique at the old Marstons brewery in any of the nearby villages. One of Britain's finest pints. Other than for that though, yes. Coors rubbish. ;)

Had to go to Brum with work a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of cheeky pints of Pedigree, it was spot-on.
Also quite like Coors Light on a nice sunny day.

WW is back, with a sexual reference. I've missed them, particularly the innuendos. I mean, no offence to Jaffka, I enjoy his anal intrusion references, but I like a bit of variety.
