Seasonal beer flavours

it's the hospital innit, trainee doctors get cheap booze and a massive bar (that they don't seem to use)

i guess if saint martins did have a good bar most of their students would be in hospital...

RPM but that means drinking in wetherspoons.

with a load of pissed up old gamblers

Hey! Who are you calling a pissed up old gambler - I don't gamble!

St. Martins has too many nice girls.
Same goes for UCL Slade art school.
Why not nice girls do Engineering? :(

That's because 70% of the people who attend the college are female, so you're bound to get an abundance of nice looking ones. Its true of most art courses :) I know a very attractive girl doing engineering! ...In durham.

RPM pah, not round 'ere mate.

all the students have got far too much money, they go to the bars I can't afford.

and they have a massive union bar with guinness @ £1.

bastards

Guinness outside of Dublin (Ireland at a push) is muck anyway..

that's true since they started bringing over the dublin stuff.

when it was brewed in park royal it was fine, I can't drink it now.

anything that relies on that much nitrogen to be pushed into it gives me acid reflux

Bet you do..

I hit the Meantime 'winter Warmer' last night.

Tasted kinda funky, which bouquets of coffee, vanilla and at one point i got a hit of cinnamon.

then i drank a light refreshing session beer from Devon, aromatic, light and beautifully amber in colour

SimonC Wetherspoons are still having a beer festival until the 18th. About £1.89 for a pint for good real ale. Plus if you join CAMRA via them, you'll get a whole bunch of 50p off per pint vouchers. Less than £1.50 for great pints, it's like being a stoodent!

Went into the wetherspoons in Canary Wharf last night (tomorrow is payday). All the ales they served tasted like water, and being CW they were all £1.99 a pint!

Plus I tried one, winced and said to the manager, "mate, this ones off. Tastes like vinegar". He tries it and says "nah, it's meant to taste like that - it's organic".
Wanker.

http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/beer/ do nice seasonal stuff but hard to get hold of in London.

RPM hmmm, I might have to peruse waitrose on my travels tomorrow
if they'll let me in with spd shoes and combats

They let me in.. they'll let anyone in.
They also have Guinness Marmite.
They ALSO have bike trailers!!
They're not the BMW-driving yuppie scum loving supermarket you might think.. well, okay, they are.. but they have cool stuff and mine is feckin' massive!

winston In Germany "Shandy" is called "Radler" which means cyclist....it comes in a bottle with a bike on the front....similar to the bike in a "no-cycling" sign....whether all cyclists in Germany are shandy drinking woollies or whether they're just trying to encourage cyclists to drink less strong beverages....I have no idea

Wasn't is supposed to be a recovery drink? Bit of booze at the top of mountain to numb the pain but not too much to make you die on the descent.. plus some lemonade to hydrate and sugar for fuel? I really like Radler in Germany but I'd never order it over here cause it's called a friggin' shandy! Something my Nan might drink if she was still here (and couldn't find the sherry). :)

The French also have a name for shandy/radler.. was trying to think of it the other day.. anyone??

A good bottled beer is Shepherds Neame ' Bishop's Finger' 5.4% a bitter, findable in London, around North London anyway.

Also Re: Wetherspoons - The Gatehouse is GOOD. The beer is the right temperature, a good range too, nice comfortable atmosphere, don't be put off because it is in Highgate - and ... pretty barmaids too.

shepheard neame is a kent brewery, always available in London ;)

in fact, most kentish people prefer anything else.

bishops finger has got me out of a jam many a time. in a studio @ 1030 am and needing some gravel in the voice, that stuff saved the day.

you're lucky to have pretty barmaids in the 'spoons. either that or the beer's too strong and too cheap

i grew up in kent. shit and scream, don't touch the stuff.
was at art college for 3 years in norwich, the beer in east anglia is top notch.

Adnams vs Shit n' Scream

no contest.

its all about this beer:

what is?

it is the best beer ever, and its winter warmer variety is a godsend, after training on the devon hills.

never seen it here..

but then I haven't looked for it. will now keep one eye open.

Anyone else like Tim Taylor's Landlord? I do.
Not had much since we moved away from my fave pub, the Volunteer on Baker St.
