The Finest Ale

Just chew on a bit of blackboard chalk, a hundredth of the price and does the same job...I like a bit of pica eating me... makes a change from nibbling coal when in the bath...I had a bad paperback book nibbling issue for a while, quite common, and easy to spot what page you are up to...
or baking soda, half a spoon in a glass of water.
 
Took the train to Bratislava in Slovakia and I’m enjoying a beer that I have absolutely no idea what it’s called.

Got chatting to a couple of fellows from Glasgow. Saw this on the board…

11% Kozel is actually really nice, doesn’t taste strong at all, very flavourful. Probably deceptively strong though after a couple.

By the way Bratislava is a very pretty city, well worth a visit.

Double post but it seems that there may have actually been a bit of a misunderstanding. It turns out that the sign was incorrect, the bar sign said Kozel 11% but it should have been Kozel 11°, referring to the specific gravity (SG) of the beer rather than its ABV. It’s actually a 4.6% beer and a rather tasty one as that. I didn’t think it tasted anywhere near what an 11% ABV beer would taste like. And I actually feel rather sorry for the two Scottish chaps I left at the bar earlier who are sitting there thinking that they are supping an 11% beer when its less than half that strength they think it is…
 
I remember going to a hipster microbrewery once, and ordering a pint...
"That comes in thirds."
"So I'll have three thirds in a pint glass please."
"But it's twelve and a half percent!"
"So I'll drink the pint slowly then".

Quite possibly the most expensive pint I ever had.
 
I've had to nick this photo from offline but I remember drinking these back in 2013. Rockstar games conceived a larger to tie in with one of the Grand Theft Auto series many, many pardoy and sometimes innuendo in game brands that run through all their games, on the run up to GTA V being released.

It is spoken exactly how it looks, obviously parodying the cheap, cheap larger that has a certain reputation for tasting like ****, according to the in game adverts you are "in for a good time" with this stuff. They were not lying either, it was actually pretty nice. There was a few different types IIRC. They come in a pack with some doughnuts to enjoy with them, from another legendary in game parody brand from the series called, "Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts". They were actually quite nice too..

Now that we are once again in the run up to GTA VI's release, these will no doubt surface again over the next 18 months, I will be on the lookout for these drinks from the legendary brewery "U-Rhine".

If you do like these sort of pardoys, the radio adverts for GTA in game brands on Youtube, or in game, are pure pardoy gold.

Except for stouts and porters, I like to be able to see through my beer 😂. I'm not really into this craze for hazy and soupy beers.

Booooo! 😆
I get very annoyed at breweries making excellent beer and then making it worse (and non vegan if that floats your boat) by using finingss. It makes it clear but adds nothing, just removing body and flavour. Madness!
