Backroom Tom Posted May 2, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 2, 2013 Any pub that doesn't have at least 2 or 3 real ales on tap isn't a pub in my mind, but a shithole. If I were in the desert dying of thirst and lager was on offer at a refuge, I'd drink my own @#/?. Don't talk crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossydave Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's possible to enjoy real ale AND lager FFS, some right nonsense being talked on here. Oh and I like cider too, and brandy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted May 2, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 2, 2013 Cider? You disgust me! Can't say I can quite grasp snobbery based on drink of choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAL Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 There really are no good pubs over this side of town(ewood/millhill/highercroft) to my knowledge, even in the town centre you'd struggle to find a good one, that doesn't serve the usual pish and isn't inhabited by stinkin toothless pisheads or/and chavy(for want of a better word,sorry!) tosspots(and people are surprised when they get shut down).Must be spoilt round here with the newly revamped Golden Cup and the Fernhurst you dont see many undesirables in these two, plus we also have the Black Bull up the hill. Ah well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Mike E Posted May 2, 2013 Backroom Share Posted May 2, 2013 Don't talk crap Nowt wrong with what I said. Pubs should have a range of stuff on offer rather than just the @#/? that is Fosters, Carling, Carlsberg or Becks. A pub that doesn't cater to what I like means it won't get my custom as it's not an option as a pub for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-2000 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thats another thing that the Germans beat us hands-down on ! no chemicals allowed in their beer. Possibly one of the reasons their town and city centres are'nt no-go areas at weekends. And each area has it's own local brands, not like us with the mass nationally produced 3.8% crap. Even Scotland has it's own decent lagers (not an ale fan myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.J.Newton Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I don't wish to be rude but you sound like a right Tory snob. haha(no offense taken), I'm not political at all(and can you be a snob if you've never had a job above minimum wage and lived in council houses all your life?) I just find the @#/? ta decent folk ratio is out of balance in most pubs around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well ! those two aren't bad places(you can get a nice pint and have a giggle), but they're such bland, generic, charmless pubs(and als both a bit grubby), would be nice to have somewhere with a little character without having to go to the outskirts of town or Manchester(for eg.)

A pub that doesn't cater to what I like means it won't get my custom as it's not an option as a pub for me. How you can lump Becks in with the other 3 you mentioned is beyond me. When its kept right (a chore in most pubs recently) it's far superior. The only problem with the success of Vier is that you never get proper 5% Becks on tap anymore.

I'm afraid I just don't like any of those 4, which is frustrating as a student cos all student bars only serve them. I'll have most smooths or bitters, but the more general lagers (imo) taste pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
