Not the strongest beer in the world but at 4% and 4.2% it will do for me:D:cheers:
Not bad, I must admit. Price-wise, that is.

Carling I can just about stand but John Smiths.....how did that ever become popular?

Pitiful ;) Standard here 4.8-5.0% then there's the regular "Stark Biers" 5.0-8.0% & of course the "Bocks" Seaonals usually round 6 -7%. Line em up Landlord. :thepint::s_aim1:

And on top of that they don't have all kinds of weird & wonderful ideas about taxing it either, standard across the board.

Schlosser Alt was one that I really enjoyed, also had to put down a lot of Berliner Kindl - spelling may be a bit out. Drink German beer here - much cheaper - 4.2 = 39 cents, 7.9 = 49 cents, Grafenwalder, tastes good too.:D:D:D

Alts are pretty good Beers as a comparison to Uk I'd say 'Mild' would be the closest, still Schlösser 4.8% ;) There you go Barrie ! Cheers !

The point is Dad, the grafenwalder that is 39 euro cents a can over there is 75 pence per can here. We're already paying way over the top for booze in this country.

Also, stop being posh. The best beer to drink in Berlin was Shultheiss

You have either absolutely no taste or would drink bath water if told it contained Alcohol "Schultheiss" should be banned under "Humming rights" or the Geneva convention ! In fact both, it's terrible stuff only reason it's cheap is because it's abysmal !:D

Except that Courage beers aren't cheap, John. Mass-produced slop for the most part, I'll give you that!

Had a few pints of Robinsons Dizzy Blonde by the furnace last night, it makes winter working tolerable to know something of that quality is waiting for you at the end of the day.

It's only a matter of time before that particular avenue of pleasure is targeted as well. Once it gets popular enough again then I'm sure we'll see a review of the law.
