Beer And Beer Drinking

[catalog]

With all the pubs closing in the country it is a crime that this is still trading. Empty, dingy interior populated by unfriendly locals and a sarcastic barman/landlord. No real ales, the Boddingtons tastes like banana! Awful on every conceivable level.

Avoid at ALL costs!

I took a short break from drinking last night and fell asleep on the sofa for 2 hours. Then woke up at 3 this morning feeling awful. Smoked too many fags. Total damage last night was 1 ping of carlsberg, I pint of carling, 4 bottles of bierra moretti, 5 or 6 fags.

I don't think the karma swapping has quite worked yet, I'm maybe a quarter of the way there?

Curses, I can't beleive the silent woman gave me away!

Awesome pub though, I think it's changed owners now.

That pub looks great. i bet at least two of the tables are wonky and propped up by beer mats shoved under the legs

 

[catalog]

it is actually a really brilliant pub, you should all come. we could do a takeover. they have the telly on all the time and it's always playing VH1 hits from the 70s.

pint of carling costs 2.75.

yeah get on the train now.

There are several traditional public houses in Slaithwaite, including the Commercial, the Shoulder of Mutton, the Swan, and the 'Silent Woman' which came to the attention of the world media on 23 September 2007, when a man walked into the pub and ordered a pint of beer a few minutes after he had murdered his son and attacked his daughter with a knife

we'll get version next. he'll slip up sooner or later

i actually am going to go to slaithwaite. i cant stay with catalog though becasue i am allergic to dogs so lucky escape for him. i'll have to get the last train home. i'll take edmund with me so i have a native guide.

the train tickets will probably cost about £500 so we will have to save up for a bit.

i don't think he will. i know broadly where he lives but he's very careful. evidently more careful than me.

just wing it - go without a ticket, you'll probably be fine. you can do a poem for the conductor.

everyone slips up sooner or later

This thread in 2005: 3,000-word essays on regional UK real ales, Dragon Stout, American microbrews, Japanese craft lager, Belgian trappists.

This thread in 2021: I had a pint of Carling and it was the best thing ever.

 

[catalog]

massively overrated the craft scene.

interesting with carling though, i thought it had died and gone, no-one drinks it do they? but in this pub, it was really nice. i think just cos that's what everyone drinks in the pub. remember the carling ads?

the other pub has ale direct from the local brewery ('empire') and it's heavenly. basically how ale should be, hoppy but no bite.

 

[luka]

the craft thing was fun for a while but everyones over it now

 

[luka]

i say everyone but i have to meet a group of friends in a brewdog pub in a few weeks cos they still havent switched back to lager. whats that quote about history doesnt progress evenly, it overlaps?
