First time caller...

I don't know that they were aiming for it to taste like it does, or if the recipe went awry, but somehow it ended up tasting like p*ss water. I've gotten spoiled to the point where the only domestic beer I want to drink is Amber Bock from Michelob, and that is because it tastes like an import. Other than that, it's import or nothing. I will occasionally (very rarely) choke down something from here, but not very often.

 

Hi again coup! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

[coupwotcoup]

That is probably why I drink wine...

How do you two know what piss water tastes like? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

During the war, when I was a Desert Rat, we had to use all of our survival instincts!! There could be another reason, but I am not prepared to go into that right now!

PS: Don't forget, I tried Budweiser once too.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/achso.gif" alt="" />

[Hornet]

Lol.

I think coup was brought up on Allslops and Wagners! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Remember Allsops..but not Wagners..

Mind you I remember my first ever visit to Stonebridge Road...all those lovely Charlton skins waiting for us at the top of the hill going back to Northfleet station....

FA Trophy Jan 1970...oh happy days!!

They tell me there is a roundabout outside the ground now! The hill is still there and the ground has gone into more disrepair than ever! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bawling.gif" alt="" />

[coupwotcoup]

I think we might have helped it on its way when we took the covered end in the first half!!

[American FLEET FAN No1]

That's closed at the moment.....Talking about putting seats in there now!

[coupwotcoup]

Apart from being a la mode a the time, I suppose it was a jealousy thing on our part, as Romford never had a covered end!!

I don't know what the actual stuff tastes like, but Budweiser is what I imagine the taste to be. Off for another round or two of the 33 oz schooners of Blue Moon.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Enjoy Moo! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You seem to be quite au fait with this Blue Moon thingy (and I am sure we aren't talking flashing your ass out of a car window in winter here).

Some come on Mooey..explain for the boys this side of the pond please..

Hi Mooey!!

Blue Moon is a Belgian beer, and is quite lovely. You can see the sediment in the bottom of the bottle, because it is unfiltered. According to one site, it is a Belgian style beer brewed in Canada, but what we have bought from the offy says it is imported from Belgium. Doesn't matter where it is from, it is incredible. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Being the middle of June in Indiana, it isn't anything to do with flashing bottoms and car windows. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bootyshake.gif" alt="" />

Talking of sediment.

 

We have Worthington White Shield which has the sediment in the bottom of the bottle.

 

Very careful pouring is needed to ensure the sediment doesn't travel into the glass with the beer, OTHERWISE, you might as well drink drain-cleaner, coz you'll spend the next morning sitting on the bog !!

[Moo]

Yuck. I am happy to report that isn't the case with Blue Moon.

 

So, what you are saying is a good drink to accompany a vindaloo, since you will be on the bog in misery anyway.

[Big J R]

White Shield is a lovely drink served cold and poured slowly.

 

It does accompany a good curry, though vindaloo is just a touch too hot for my taste. Madras is just fine !

[Moo]

Hubby thought my brother would meet his match with a vindaloo, and was disappointed when Mike didn't even break a sweat, have next day problems, or anything to show signs of weakness. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
