These philistine freeloaders will happily chuzzle down several "Hoibe", complementing & commenting upon its bouquet, subtle hopping & carefully balanced malt notes, usually accompanied by the comment "Nicht schlecht, schmeckt mi'". They then ask for another & where can they possibly purchase this fine "Helles", I or one of our cultured soiree throwers will then enlighten these knowlessmen.

But upon hearing the price can be anything upwards of €20,00 per case (20 x 0.5ltr) the scuzzbags start spluttering & blustering about this criminal outrage, when they can go get a case of 24 x 0.33 Veltins, Krommy or (gawd forbid & strike them down where they stand!) Ött(m)inger pils for €15,00 & below when on offer.

So, put plainly Tadmeister, quality costs & your wanton disregard for the old "Gobby" & carelessly discarding it for this cheap imitation, has put you, on the first step of the flight of cellar stairs heading down to abomination & damnation, not unlike those Germing knowlessmen I mentioned above.

Oh come on Dave, What's with your German mates downing a couple of halves of "not bad pale ale", I used to love the Bavarian and Austrian Biers but they are not a patch on the English real Ales; so after your comments it looks like I shall have to take my hand out of my pocket and allow the missus to get the Hobgoblin. (no chance, I am a full member of the "tightartus religion, Stay safe, keep suppin, yours's Taddy.
