Has anyone had Desperado before? It's a French beer that is flavoured with Tequila. It doesn't taste how you think it would, but it is strange though. It's sort of like an alcopop, and I've discovered tag-teaming it with a whiskey on the rocks is a deadly combination (in a good [and bad, I suppose] way).

Also a mate of mine substitutes a lime in his corona with filling the bottle the rest of the way up with lemon bacardi breezer. Ups the alcohol content, does the job of lemon flavouring, and he reckons it's even better. Haven't tried it myself yet.
it's piri-piri and it's damn good with mashed potato
Yeah it's definitely not a beardstroker, but it chases whiskey like a bastard and gets you right fucked up in the process.
Cokehead rugger bugger Laurence dallaglio has put his name to this nice beer from Greene King. I got it in sainsburys so is probably widely availiable.

Britain's Real Ale Meccas - One Man's View
Having had the chance, over the last 10 years or so, to visit most of the UK's conurbations, I feel in a position to pontificate on which are the best real ale drinking towns and cities in the country. I've failed to grace Middlesborough, Scunthorpe and Plymouth with my presence but a scan of the Good Beer Guide suggests that none would be serious contenders. So here is my top ten.
Greene King can fuck off, hard.always used to like the Greene King IPA, tho i don't really drink IPA's any more...
Derby has about the highest ratio of niceness of pubs to general niceness as a place of anywhere I've ever been...good article from about two years ago, and i tend to agree with (a) the choices, (b) certain deliberate omissions, (c) certain runners-up.
Note to London Dissensians who occasionally patronise Corsica Studios - the Modelo Dark they sell at the bar goes down nicely when you're a bit spangled...![]()
any thoughts on shepard neame?
