Rant So I was in the Co-op

[Jeros]

I got my stuff, and some becks blue as I fancied a booze free night but still with some beery taste

They won't sell it to you without ID despite being alcohol free

 

[fettoken]

It is Jackie Chan!!!


Oh, you were saying something.

 

[CorNokZ]

Punch that 16y old cunt behind the counter straight in the face and tell her to go have another kid

 

[Ch3tan]

LOL! write or email their head office to point out they are idiots.

 

[Aoami]

was this co-op in east anglia?

 

[Scouse]

Did you not explain to them how retarded they are?


Edit: Who the fuck buys alcohol free beer anyway? It's disgusting. Even more than UK lager is.

 

[Shagrat]

Lol Muppets

 

[Lamp]

I wish someone would ask me for ID

 

[Jeros]

It was not so much the cashiers fault as the system not letting them continue the sale without proof of ID.

Lamp what are doing up, the snooker is on in a min, come on, back to your chair.....the grand kids will be coming round later

 

[Gwadien]

Im 18 and i dont even get ID'd at tesco nor bargain booze, i got called 'manly' twice the other day at college not sure if that was a compliment or a insult aha

Yes it is, common sense should tell the cashier the system is wrong in this case, and if he doesn't want to get in trouble he could have called a supervisor / manager over.

 

[Ch3tan]

Is that alcohol free and good?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Your first mistake was shopping at co-op.

Your second mistake was wanting something that tastes like booze but isn't. Booze tastes bad, my friend

 

[Olgaline]

Indeed it is ch3tan, and yes.

 

[Ch3tan]

I'm still chasing that perfect malt drink that isn't alcohol and isn't stupid sweet (like supermalt).

 

[Olgaline]

this one is quite awesome, but it's wheat, so if you dont like wheat, it wont be for you.
it's the closest thing to a real beer I've tried, and yes needs to be nice and cold, but so does a good pint.

 

[Lamp]

...just waiting for someone to post a thread about soft downy hair appearing on their chest now, and I'm done.

I'm no the biggest fan of very wheaty beers.

 

[Olgaline]

then it prob. wont be your thing, but it's german wheat, not Belgium.
so less parfumy, more full bodied.

 

[Mabs]

few years ago, i went into tescos near my dads around xmas on an "shit we forgot the ..." trip
few bits and bobs, and some wine. no problem
walked over to the counter, with visible wine + other shit.. and got IDd buying cigarettes..

 

[Scouse]

Nah. Lager needs to be cold because it tastes like shit and warm beer exposes its flavour.

Real ale is the way forward - a cool cellar is all that's needed and flavour is the point

/Face palm!

it's an alcohol free wheat beer

as for real ale, that should be served "depending on the beer" 10-14' (8-12 for me)
thats still cold. now, if you want to drink luke warm beer, by all means.

 

[Olgaline]

Also all lager tastes like shit ?
is that your opinion or a statement of fact?

On the topic of real ale,
imho, it's turning into a fanatic religion, with narrow minded lemmings as followers,
no better than the wines ponses that swear by the book of Bio-dynamics or Burgundy Terrior
it's hippies in dresses trying to dictate to the rest of us how we should produce,
serve and drink our bevrages.

I like some beers, and dislike others, I like some wines and dislike others, I like some whiskies and dislike others.."you get the jizz"
but I'm not about to tell others what they should or should not do! I can recommend,
but if someone prefers ice in thier single malt ? fine by me - I wouldnt but.....

it's utter nuts! to exclude and deny one self the pleasures of variety, due to some idealistic philosophy based om production methods.

but at the end of the day, I judge the product by taste, and not by production philosophy

 

[old.user4556]

Cold pale lager is excellent at the right time, but real ales also go down well at the right time.

Horses for courses.

 

[Olgaline]

Indeed.

 

[old.user4556]

Anyone tried Pott's Landbier?

It's like dark ale meets coffee, truly yummy.

[old.Tohtori]

Is it really alcohol free in UK when it says alcohol free, or is it something like 0.00005?

Could be about that, not really being alcoholic, but still having alcohol. You know, anal rules and all.

 

[Olgaline]

Many are actually even higher than that I belive Toht up to 0.5%

If your persistent enough.....?

 

[Scouse]

Nah. I'd stated it earlier in the thread - UK lagers are shite.

European beers, on the other hand, can be very palletable and should indeed be served chilled.

And what's up with the formatting of your post? Looks like you copied it from a website
