Old Speckled Hen is a great beer.

But I always end up looking at MGs on Autotrader or carandclassic.

I love Old Speckled Hen. Old Golden Hen is pleasant enough but a little too citrusy for me. Old Hoppy Hen is a lovely tipple but I can’t remember the last time I had Old Crafty Hen. So it should be good.

I want to open it now.

Well, I’ve done it. You made me. Peer pressure.

It’s a more fuller flavoured pint, and bloody good.

The keg is a bit of a pain to pour out of though.

At least the five litre kegs have a spout.

Confound you sir, confound you.

Breweries are always coming up with new stuff. Hell even Guinness have a massive range now.

(assuming its still with us by then as my supermarket has started stocking beers from local microbreweries .. and im having a ball with those)

(also dropped them a note requesting they stock some asahi.. as i do love that stuff)

We stock Asahi at my work place.

I ha d a Kirin Ichiban the other day while was really good and the Birra Moretti Toscana.

There are so many new craft beers coming out and so few of them are any good.

Give me a proper drink any day.

You don’t want to work where I work mate. I work for the U.K. arm of walmart. The idiot is strong in the management.

lol.. based on the beer selection i was gonna peg you as with wetherspoons.. awesome beer selection... shitty pub somehow (least my one in horsham was)

Svend > farscythe - makin da cawfee! 08/30/2017 at 15:44

Wetherspoons is only good for a quiet night where you can hear each other talk and semi good beer.

We’ve two ‘Woodies’ on one road, Woodrow Wilson and William Rufus.

The only good thing about our place is we have about 400+ beers, plus ciders, ales, stouts.

That’s amazing! I do not know if there’s a service in my area that will deliver such high quality potent potables!

Honestly? Your not kidding me?

Bloody hell.

What ever the supermarket sells, can be ordered for delivery.

Hell. Even some of our takeaway shops online you can order a can of bottle of beer or cider,bottle of vodka, whisky, wine, etc... for delivery with your pizza, kebab, fish and chips, etc...

As far as I know...there really isn’t any alcohol delivery in my small town in Ohio.

Ouch. Granted takeaways that do alcohol is quite a recent thing in the last few years. Home shopping is a massive industry here.
