Is 8 the minimum number of cans you have to drink to feel a buzz? In my Bangkok outdoor beer bar days I could Leo with ice all night long and still walk a straight line. With a little help from a friend, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I usually drink ordinary Leo when out and about but used to buy My Beer (Singha Light) by the case from wholesalers for the room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBC Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I posted a picture of Leo 8 a while back. I find it quite nice, it actually has some flavour to it. I still prefer Singha but more than happy to opt for '8' if Singha is not available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off when damn good breweries have to use ponsy wanky names for their brews to attract ponsy wanker drinkers. (not you obviously!) Ringwood Best and Ringwood 49er are 2 of the best bitters ...............in the world! I grew up a gypsy knife fight away from Ringwood and it deserves better than being called "ding doon dobble gibbley wablley shite bollocks" or whatever its full pedigree name is ... Jeeeez it is like having a ponsy wanky board name like Derek Dangleberries !!! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dangle, i fully agree with both of your statements above. Many ciders have been heading in the Gay / poncey direction for a while now, but as with many things in life, it's hard to equal, let alone beat the original.... Cider should be made from apples, not pears any type of berry or indeed anything other than apples. Black Rat to me tastes like the contents of an old car battery, and a cheap battery at that, bloody awful stuff....... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Cider should be of the white variety, about 8%, come in a 3 litre plastic bottle, and weather permitting, ideally drunk straight from the bottle on a park bench. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally my delayed Xmas parcel that arrived 10 days ago contained a sachet of cider yeast and several sachets of Sparkling yeast.I checked on the internet and it seems they are the same thing... Tesco Lotus has just ended a special offer on Tipco apple juice..... Guess what I shall be doing in 6 weeks... Here is a clue !!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBC Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Mr. Dangle, I've found, or rather the Mrs. did, that Lazada or Shopee is a good place to buy cartons of juice from. I love the pomelo juice and it can be hard to find in the shops, so she orders a case as and when from Shopee which is normally delivered to our door the next day. The price is very good too.....
