No, what they need is decent banger and mash, Sunday roast with lots of gravy, and cold beer.Hungry Drunk wrote:Don’t british pubs need some odd name like the Pig n Whistle, Three legged mare, or The furry banana?Hanno wrote:Ah yes, the sorely missed Green Vespa.

Is there even an Irish pub in town?
I'm sure I saw pictures of Hanno on FB last summer, quaffing down pint after pint of warm English beer without complaint.Hungry Drunk wrote:“Cold beer”??

Surprisingly, the beers were mostly cold. Seems tastes on Blighty are changing.slavedog wrote:I'm sure I saw pictures of Hanno on FB last summer, quaffing down pint after pint of warm English beer without complaint.Hungry Drunk wrote:“Cold beer”??

British pubs do serve cold beer, but for a beer's flavour to be enjoyed properly it should only be slightly cold, generally from just sitting in a basic dark cellar, not bastardised ice-cold. I think the Guinness "Extra Cold" perhaps gets it just about right. Oh but for a slightly cold Abbott Ale on a summer's day.
This of course doesn't matter if you're drinking lager which is effectively Sprite in disguise, or carbonated urine in the case of Budweiser - due to a complete absence of flavour, these can be served ice cold with a slice of lemon, and perhaps even additional ice in warmer climes. To seven year olds.

The only reason they serve beer cold is to hide the beer taste.Spigzy wrote:This of course doesn't matter if you're drinking lager which is effectively Sprite in disguise, or carbonated urine in the case of Budweiser - due to a complete absence of flavour, these can be served ice cold with a slice of lemon, and perhaps even additional ice in warmer climes.

You can't beat an Abbot Ale or Green King IPA. Incidentally, I see that my Green King shares have increased 20% in value in the last couple of months.Spigzy wrote:Oh but for a slightly cold Abbott Ale on a summer's day.

I wonder if a certain store still has any bottles of London Pride left ? I will take a trip there tomorrow to find out (and consume)
