        not my favourite beer: Green King IPA through a 'creamflow' system - went to a pub I've never been to before today; mostly to return the feeling to my hands after fishing the canal so I could drive properly…
        the (1 pint of)Green King was the only thing on...horrible, creamy and weak. 😞

        not my favourite beeer II - my mate left a couple of cans of Stella in the fridge - I drank them...absolutely foul 😶 😶 😶

          Thanks, always up for a new cider!  Which should I be on the lookout for?

            Wow, that's hard question…

            You could try Ecusson Brut.  (Cidraie is also good)

            Mainly lookout for 0,75L bottles that are sealed with champagne style cork.

              I'm in ATL and you can find Strongbow at every chain grocery store here.. I used to drink only cider before I drank beer

              Picked up a bottle of Stone Arrogant Bastard for this weekend.

                Yeah I'm finding strongbow at more and more retail outlets but still hard to find on tap at bars.

                    Exactly what I was thinking, Mega.  One step up from White Lightning, imo 😶

                    Depends what's available where you live though, I guess.  We have it easy here these days.

                        I'll add McEwan's Export to that list.

                        Not the lager varietal - this horrible stuff…

                          Is that the UK equivalent of Olde English Malt Liqueur?

                            Is that a drink brand in the UK, or are you talking about moonshine?  Because if you're talking about moonshine, that's what my bad teenage memories include.  That, and piña coladas made with everclear…

                              White Lightning's a very strong and very cheap cider 'brand' (in the loosest sense of the word) here in the UK.  Not even sure if it's still going (it was in my 90s student days)

                              Drunk mainly by low income wastrels, a large proportion of which were the aforementioned students.  Nasty stuff, especially lethal when combined with low quality strong lager in homebrew-style 'snakebite'.

                                The best part about it is that it comes in 3 litre pop bottles. When I was studying in the UK, we had a White Lightning challenge. First one to finish their bottle won…I don't remember much, but the corrosive taste of victory!!!
