Call me crazy, but I just like drinking beer which actually tastes nice. I'm the same about food as well.

Bizarre, I know.


It did make me smile on Saturday when a Town fan in there was perusing the different handpulls on offer whilst waiting to be served and when asked what he wanted said "a pint of bitter please"

A bit similar to someone going into a butchers and asking for "some meat please" or the deli counter in the supermarket and asking for "a piece of cheese"

What is bizarre is that anyone who doesn't like drinking real ale is labelled as 'drinking any old crap as long as it contains alcohol'...

Call me crazy but I find that patronising, hence my original comment...

I didn't go in because it was called member Hotel.

I also don't mind drinking pints of Carling or Becks or Carlsberg or Fosters so make of that what you will.

I've been a Real Ale twit for years and hope to continue being one for years to come: lager is for kids, or after some hard labour, a 'lawn-mower' drink.

I also like being patronising about it; I leave a pub if it doesn't sell 'Real Ale' because that is what I like, and so should everybody else!

I wouldn't have a problem if the 'basic' beer in this country was decent, but Carling/Worthingtons etc etc is just rubbish. You only need to taste it to discover this.

On the other hand, every other country I've visited has had local beers ranging between decent and good - even Ireland, where the lager may be as rubbish as in the UK, but the stout is generally decent (if overrated). I just find it frustrating that every other country in Europe has decent local beers while we're stuck with utter dross.

In addition to real ale, I'm partial to a decent lager from time to time. We just don't get any decent lager on draught in the UK.

Why should the Stella in Belgium (produced in an enormous factory brewery in Leuven) taste good in comparison to the horrible stuff brewed here? Similarly Kronenbourg, San Miguel, Staropramen etc etc.

I find it very frustrating!

I'm not sure how easy it is to patronise people when you're a grown man pretending to be a dog on the internet.

It could have been worse. They could have called it the member Inn.


Ched Evans doesn't need reminding about that!
