peasy23 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'll give it a try.I used to drink Becks in the 80's but they must have changed the brewing process cause the taste changed and it became rank. They started making it in Britain, originally it was imported.Showing my age, but does anyone remember this stuff that tasted like diesel?And their more recent effort wasn't much better.

I'd rather have one pint of my choice than 3 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick google says they stopped production. The Aussies rebelled apparently. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0zFWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IucDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5694%2C1277762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The little bottles of Panache shandy you can get in Asda are quite nice for a low alcohol content, it's under 1% IIRC, and you can pick up ten of the little bottles for about £2.00.Someone bought me non-alcoholic Heineken by accident a few months ago, had a mouthful and was absolutely rancid.

Gaz Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I just remembered, I got trolled to f**k by the barman at the Cairn Hotel just outside Bathgate a couple of months ago. I asked if they had any alcoholic beers. "Hee-haw!" he replied, to which I glumly said I would just have a can of juice. "No, that's what it's called - Tennent's Hee-Haw". Got me well and truly. c**t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 After years of kicking the arse out if it and a recent health scare I have finally decided to cut down on the bevvy. If I could I would like to chuck it totally. Has anyone tried any of these non-alcoholic beers or lagers. I was always one of these "don't see the point of them brigade" but after my last visit to the Doc's I'm willing to try them. I don't think I could sit in the pub all night and drink cola but if any of these were any good I would happily drink them if even pubs stock them. With the risk of a load of abuse has anyone tried them and if so are any of them any good. I don't drink them myself but the OH recommends Furstenburg and Brew Dogs Nanny State.

Shandon Par Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Good advice and the added bonus with smoking is they help you keep the weight off. I stopped smoking about 30 years ago, how much are 20 tabs now about £2.50. Maybe get a bag of tobacco and add your own herbs from the garden or crush up some strong painkillers you may have at home and bung them in too. Pound for pound, it's hard to beat a bit of acid. Negligible amount of calories, long lasting, won't hurt your lungs and incredible value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 "Yes sir, what can I get you? Pint of lager, heavy or a bottle of one of our craft beers?""Nah mate, I'll have a can of Panache""With all due respect sir, get the f**k out of my fucking pub" Yeah, obviously not in a pub, but for drinking at home they're OK. Just go with a lager shandy in the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bavaria 0.0% Wit (booze free wheat beer) is tastier though not seen as much. Shout out to Erdinger Blue and Franziskaner Alkoholfrei also.

If low alcohol is an occasional treat, i'd try the Rolling Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
