The whole craft ale/small brewery phase is over-rated and essentially just a different advertising/marketing method of the same drink drunk for centuries, appealing to the ingrained stamp-collector mentality of the North European male.
Woah, you can slag British women off because they respond badly when you slap them on their arses, but beer? What the **** has beer ever done to you?
Beer has encouraged me to slap women on their arses. And yes, they do seem to respond badly to it. Maybe they should drink more beer and slap my arse (please).
Yesterday I had a for a interview for a technical support administrator for a food company. But I've also accepted a job as a support worker for a lad with autism.
He is right with the taste part though. If you think current beer choices taste the same as traditional ale, you must drink lager. Chalk and cheese. I drank Guinness for 20 years as ale in pubs was bland and poorly kept. Tetley, Bass and that crappy bloody Worthington type of stuff. Totally undrinkable. Now take something like a barrel aged double/imperial stout. Maybe, Neutron Star by our own Atom Brewery in Hull. To say that is the same old stuff just shows a lack of knowledge or, as mentioned, lack of ability to taste. Just saying.
Personal 'taste', I like fizzy chemical lager as opposed to gravy ermm real ale. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
My posts are often tongue in cheek and I write them as I'd say to your face and I'm realising that often there's misinterpretation on here, which is perhaps my fault. I mocked craft ale as I don't drink any beer/lager/bitter, although did for 20 years or so, until my daughter, who had bad digestive problems for a few years resulting in vitamin deficiencies, was diagnosed as being gluten intolerant. The rest of the family was recommended to take a white blood cell and DNA test and it turned out the intolerance was from me and our DNA was the North European type that is most likely to be intolerant. So I quit, then when my 40 year sinus problems cleared forever after 2 weeks, I realised it was for the best. I drank a bottle of Green Spot over 2 weekends in January for the first time in a good few years and enjoyed it so ordered a few more. I've got ca. £13 mill worth of onshore machinery sat idle since the weekend as a result of coronavirus isolation, so I'm endeavouring to see my way through this period with the help of them.
I started my support worker job on 11th May. We did all our training online and over Zoom. But because of Covid and the hoops, you have to jump through to get someone discharged from a mental health unit it looks like I won't actually start the job probably until September. I know it seems like a dream to get paid for doing nothing, it's really getting to me now. I know it's not my fault, but I feel like I'm stealing a living.
I agree you are, just send me the money and you’ll be helping someone, which is what you’re doing for a job. It’s a win win
