Your poison of choice?

I worked for an SA Brewery pub in the mid ‘90s
West End Draught, West End light (the publican drank 90% of that) & Eagle Blue - no one drank that.
This was back in the day when I reckon 75% drank schooners, 20% pints & 5% butchers. Not like today where it’s pretty much only pints being poured. Bar staff have it f#cking easy these days…

The schooner fascination is a weird one.

Lots of guys at the Spalding pub still drink schooners, reckon it would be 50/50 with pints. I've never seen that before.

Eagle Blue? Don’t mind if I do, thanks Dipper!

Nah I stuck pretty much with “Best end of the day” WED

My old man and his mates were all over it though when it came out* and yeah he drank way more schooners than pints in his drinking career.

Folks still drank butchers in the 90s?

Only time I've seen one (outside my grandfather's house, he had a boxful of 'em) was when I did a bar and waiting course. They made us practice pouring into butcher glasses on the pretext that it was more of a challenge. I suspect it was really 'coz they didn't want us skolling pints. Drinking the pour was obligatory.

Yeah my old man always drank his port in a butcher in the 90's

Most ‘people’ drink their fruity beer in stem glasses these days!
Man bun optional!

You don't drink wine from a champagne glass and you don't drink champagne from a wine glass.

Just cast an idle glance at the label on the bottle of red wine which is currently sliding down the gullet.

Apparently it has notes of plum and chocolate.

Heaven help me - I'm drinking frickin' fruchocs!

Public service announcement:

440 ml Guinness cans $3 apiece at BWS.

I'm on the stout tonight!

[mighty_tiger_79]

Didn't get to BWS for the Guinness
But did pop out a Stout with chocolate grain homebrew for a taste test.
It's a winner

Noticed tonight, while shopping for Friday beers, that the James Squire range now comes in 330 ml bottles. They used to be 345 ml. Price rise by stealth?

Of course there is no real excuse for not producng 375ml stubbies * in the first place.

[DOC]

I’ll echo those sentiments.

At a recent lunch with friends I had 500ml of Sapporo in a glass tankard with my Chicken Parmi.

Pity we couldn’t win for Crippa but still a good game.

A bloke left a couple of Coronas here after a barbie more than a year ago.

Had a lemon in the fruit bowl for a couple of weeks and thought I'd better use it or chuck it out.

Got no other beer in the fridge ... so what the hell, put the Coronas in the freezer for half an hour. Sliced the lemon, cracked a Corona and slid it down the neck.

I gotta admit, it is going down a treat. What is an otherwise unremarkable beer is enhanced by the lemon.

But then that says something about the beer itself, don't it. Can't see myself buying a six pack in preference to a beer that doesn't require a citrus fruit to make it palatable.

Replace the lemon with lime.
