Oh how they scoffed at Benny eh?!

Own brands are often great tasting as well as being good value.
The chains have the buying power to purchase great swathes of top quality vineyards and hops fields for their own labeled beers and wines. The brewers and growers are that way guaranteed of their dosh before it even gets inside a bottle or can.

If you are wondering how I know these things it's because I work in the retail measurement and marketing industry.

I'm becoming increasingly concerned that the clan is full of 'Euro Fizz' drinkers.... :o


Now, you can't beat a pint of Spitfire (brewed in Kent by Britain's oldest brewery: Shepherd Neame), or as they said in a controversial advertising campaign:

'No Fokker comes close'

:lol:

[Ech0]

Well I don't have much choice living in Euro Land.

A bit daring and Rab's-esque that campaign eh Wags? hehe

[pup]

no no NO! if it fizzes it is evil... tho the "blonde ale" does intrigue me

[willofgod]

Wags, the brewery that makes this one:

Weihenstephan Weissbier

has been going for 1000 years! I think...

[shifty]

Sorry I agree with Wags,you can`t beat a Brit Ale .
Lager is just gas :D
I for one love love Theakstons "real smooth".
Or if you`re ever in South Devon go to Buckfast Abbey where the monks brew there own,look how long they have been brewing :D 8O

[BuLLiTT]

sorry chaps, but the best beer in the land is BASS, poured straight from the jug, no gas thingamy jig. Absolute HEAVEN sent--although Aldi lager in cans is well acceptable when picking off the odd 1 or 2 on s&d!! :twisted: :D

[Big_Joe]

Bullit my ole pal I do understand your choice of brew, but I think a drop of Marstans Pedigree is by far the greater ale in your area. And after living in a public house selling this medicine I should know :)

8) i have to agree with you Joe about Pedigree, trouble is i canae down as many as i used to without keeling over!! It just wouldn't look very dignified falling over in front of Rab, now would it? :lol:

Does the 'Blonde ale' make you have any of those so called 'Blonde moments'..... :?
Personally I would rather have a good old pint of Theaxston XB or a pint of Timothy Taylors :wink:

[Kingy]
