On vegan beers. My local brewery run by a nice couple in a railway arch in Loughborough Junction beers are Vegan. They also run a taproom from the arch on weekends. Which is popular.

That's what I drink, bitter iron and twisted knot (overhopped american ipa) and some others I forget name of. All pretty much as good as branded dickhead cans to my unsophisticated palate
These just sound like branded dickhead nonsense that you bought from the supermarket though, TBH.
Beer snobbery fucking hell. Where do we start.

Well yeah they're meant to be like branded dickhead nonsense, just cheaper. That's what lidl and aldi do, it's kind of the point

I'd like to be able to reject all the bollocks around beer these days and just drink shit lager but the problem is then you're left drinking shit lager

Yet the very essence of U75's boards whichever side of the argument one might take.

All these places are lovely. Even Brewdog can be lovely when it's raining and you need a polished concrete table to get your wallpaper citeh guide out so you can plan your day snooping and mooching around the delights that your chosen destination has to offer. People moan about starfucks, they moan about Groggs, they moan about Macdeaths but when you just need some free wifi and a quick pint or a muffin and a coffee to plan your excursion to some really trendy bohemian ancient drinking hole that someone has recommended on urban, they serve as that port in your storm that you need so you can get your packamack out and dry off your chuckies before you wander round aimlessly trying to find that special place that you eventually discover is only special to them because they had a nice muffin and a nice pint or coffee in there 20 years ago.
It's the company you keep that makes somewhere special. Not it's CEO and their business ethics. If it's got a nice window to people watch through and a nice clean polished concrete table to spread your map out on then it's better than a bus stop or a doorway.

No. The Leslie Arms is not for Brewdog! It's too suburban. They dinnae do suburban.

The Aldi Redwell is very good if you like that style of beer. I'd heard it compared to Punk IPA, but it really isnt. In fact what it's very close to is Thornbridge's Jaipur.

I'm hoping Aldi start doing a version of Imperial Stouts and Belgium beers. But i suspect I'll be waiting a long time.

Will try that. Aldi my mine has increased its beer range lately, including some 'brand' cans for just over a quid. Haven't tried most of them yet

We've got two craft beer shops near us. Beaverton for £2.80 for 330ml. I sometimes buy stuff from them cos they are local businesses but it's hard to justify paying almost three times the price for the same thing (kind of, tastes pretty similar to me).

Yeah, there's a wine shop not far from me with an awesome selection of beers. Can't afford to go their often, but if I do I try to get ones that are very different to what I can find in supermarkets, hence strong stouts and stuff rather then just another IPA.

It's dismal and grim outside. Can we get this thread fired up again, to cheer things up a bit, please?
Maybe some more people would like to emphasise how they shop at Lidl or Aldi in an attempt to demonstrate their proletarian authenticity, and immunity to marketing nonsense.

Aren't we all la de da.
I do all of my shopping with a bloke who has a lock up under the arches. You can choose your own pigeon and he'll batter it to death for you with a rolled up copy of last months Big Issue before burning the feathers off with his Bic. Plus he does his own craft beer, if a can of Spesh with a dash of lighter fluid counts.

Brew your own. It's easy and works out less than 50p a pint even for something heavily hopped; a standard stout or pale ale is closer to 30p a pint. Lager is trickier because of the need for sustained low temps, but you can get pretty close.

Yeah shopping at lidl and aldi is quite middle class these days, asdas is the most authentic place to shop fyi tuchter
There's a major, and still active, Urban thread on home brewing
-- it's on the suburban75 forum ....I dip into that occasionally out of idle half-interest, but home brewing all seems like too much bloody hard work, especially when (even if you're skint), there's a Wetherspoons Beer Festival on at the moment
Personally, and despite the expense, I prefer pub-drinking to home-drinking anyway. Obviously when I say "pub", I completely exclude Brewdog-style "bars"
I prefer the beer choice at Aldis, but we don't have one near us
Lidls -- not too bad.
Asda has some serious bargains in bottled strong beers and stouts ...

I really like brewing my own beer (both process and product), but I also love a pint or two (or more) in a decent pub. Doing the former gives me more cash for the latter.

Why do Aldi and Lidl get an unnecessary 's' on the end but not Asda?I prefer the beer choice at Aldis, but we don't have one near us

Because I made a supremely unimportant error?
