Chelsea vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread EFL 3rd Round.

[Legion]

I normally try and drink the local beers wherever I go but both 'Kalik' and 'Sands' in The Bahamas were absolutely shocking.

I thought they were OK.

I've only been within Europe - France, Germany, Poland, all beers were fantastic. I like a Red Stripe when I can find it.

ASDA?

Don't see how ducking a out of a cup competition can be seen as anything other than a negative. 

We're not going to get relegated, so why at least make an effort in the cups, as opposed to deciding we can't be arsed?

Jog on

It might be the old 'brewed under licence' issue, I like an ice cold 'stubby' brewed by D&G but not keen on the cans of Red Stripe I've had in the UK.

The little medicine bottles? I love those.

Mexican beers aren't great. All the lagers taste the same (they all don't taste of anything) and all the 'dark beers' taste like McEwan's Export, which was famously* only ever seen in the wild in England on trains, being drunk by drunk Scotsmen returning to or from their homeland in the 1990s. I go for the 'dark beers'.

*I say 'famously'. I am the only person who recalls this.

Oh no, I remember McEwan's Export. I had one in Glasgow, and it was so atrocious, Special Brew tasted okay afterwards.

Yes, that's them. Back in the 90s they were 355ml bottles and didn't have the ABV on them (it was said this was because the strength varied a bit but that may have been apocryphal). Red Stripe light comes in a regular clear glass bottle which detracts from it but I tend to avoid light/lite beer anyway..

But on the trains though Rory, the trains. In the 1990s!

[dave.woodhall]

I well remember a trip to Newcastle 1987, when after enduring another McNeill-inspired clamity and a couple of hours of excess drinking we boarded a train fo Carlisle. One of our party had twelve cans of Export with him, which he handed round. I managed one in the two-hour journey.

Yeah I've never seen Red Stripe light. Don't see the point really. If you want a 'light' beer, don't drink beer!

I didn't set foot on a train (excluding the Severn Valley Railway) until 2002, so long after the '90s peak of McEwan's Export, sadly! Any time I think of any Scottish beer, I just picture Colin Hendry.

That was a Herculean feat in itself. I poured the last third of my only ever can into a urinal. Dreadful stuff.

I've been known to enjoy a Negra Modelo/Modelo Negra or two. Not a fan at all of Corona, Sol etc. with Dos Equis somewhere in the middle.

I take the point from a seasoned ale man like yourself, Dave. But for a flighty dilettante like myself, a fizzy bitter does the trick at times.

I fully expect a ban. I've had a good innings. Wink.
