Mate I swear , it`s on the bottom rung of what I`d rather sample and three rungs above that is this.

Which isn't even a top three favourite.

If that makes sense

Although if it doesn't

Blame the Holsten

Ugggggh I second , third and fourth that

In fact both kidneys and my liver have threatened to go on strike

If I dare so much to ever again even raise a hand towards a 1664 can

First thing to observe is that no-one in my neck of the woods seems to be suffering from lack of funds. We had to give up on the local curry-serving pub because it was packed - wanted a curry but no tables and people already waiting at the bar.

So went on to usual Sunday pub and that was packed too - but managed to grab last table for a burger.

BUT - Now, I know it's not the world's best lager, but we usually go for Becks and a reasonable, light session pint... but no longer on tap!!!

So we were offered Amstel as an alternative...and found that very disappointing. No real bite to it at all. Generic Eurofizz.

Two cans of Carlsberg Export and a Strongbow Original

Sitting in my house and just opened a bottle of Jim Beam , drinking it straight 3 or 4oz at a time and depending on how the night goes the bottle might be empty come morning

Life is so short and we are not re-incarnated. So why waste your noble thirst on such ghastly rat-piss? I suppose one has to drink Amstel once in life to discover that it tastes like someone else already drank it.

I admit I am no purist. Lagers as a rule do not appeal anyway but I will occasionally drink Heineken shandy on a hot day especially when I am out on my motorcycle for a Sunday ride in summer and want a drink in a country or seaside pub without going over the alcohol limit. I also drink Strongbow cider if I can't get anything better and that's as generic as you can get. If I can find a Stan Smith's pub, they do a very palatable dry cider.

Sad to relate by my alcohol intake has fallen and fallen since I am no longer in my prime. I am a very cheap date now; three pints is enough to almost pole-axe me.

All the more reason not to compromise and to only drink what is good to my taste buds.

Today's drink comes from Germany: Sunner Kolsch: Kolsch type beer is made exclusively in the city of Cologne, Germany. It is a top fermented beer made with 100% malts. Pours with a clear straw yellow color with a frothy white head. Alcohol content 4.8%. Tastes of sweet malt and a light taste of biscuit and citrus. No aftertaste at all. Very good overall.

Haven't sampled this delicious brew for many months yet saw they`d been reduced to a pound a bottle

So nabbed a handful

It`s up in the top five for me. With of course Hoegaarden the top. Only at closer to a fiver a bottle (Granted a 650ml , butt still) I tend to reluctantly leave that one on the shelves , and pine

Hey

It`s what I would have
