Treat yourself.

You can go without heating and/or hot water for a week, surely?

It's decent to be fair.

:newthumb:

I'm tempted to have my first drink in a while, tonight.

Has to be a Guinness.

I bought a bottled of Sainsbury’s Czech lager yesterday,poured it out then noticed the date on it-09/21. What is the best way to complain about and maximise my compensation? It’s ruined my life and I’ve been up all night with the 2 Bob bits.

Post all about it on your local FB page, twitter, etc.

Make sure you get all your friends to share & like the post.

Need loads of photographic evidence, things like a picture of you holding the bottle, drinking from said bottle, date stamp on the bottle, you on the kharzi, a picture of the kharzi after you've done your business, etc..

Make it LARGE, make sure loads of people share & like.. you'll have the Sainsburys CEO contacting you before you know it. :newthumb:

I haven't tried it yet, but people have been raving about this new no-alc Guinness.

Becks Blue isn't too bad, for flavour, imo.

I’m a big fan of Guinness 0.0 but it seems to be rarer than hens teeth round my way. A real struggle to get my hands on. Tesco and Asda have both had a gap on the shelf where it sits for weeks. Apparently it’s going to be released in pubs in 2022 which I’m pleased about although I’m not sure if it’ll be draught or some sort of can dispenser thing.

My favourite 0.0 lager is San Miguel. Pubs mainly seem to go with Heineken 0.0 which is drinkable but wouldn’t be my choice.

I’ve tried a few 0.0 ciders but I find them unbearably sweet so have never had one twice.

I've got 2 cans of Guinness 0.0 left in the fridge for Christmas Day when I've got to drive everyone over to my parents.

The worst 0.0 I tried was Doom Bar. :thdn:

Went out last week to a party in a club and they were serving draught Heineken in ice cold glasses. Didn't get pissed but woke up with the worst hangover headache ever.

A few of us talked about 0% a couple of months back Eggy.

I've still not found anything better than Pistohead Flat Tire but not been on the lookout lately.

I have tried quite a lot of them and finally left with regular consumption of 3:
1. Guinness 0.0
2. Lucky Saint
3. Brewdog Nanny State

Another thumbs up for Guinness 0.0 … a very nice drop
Peroni 0.0 is good too, as are Nanny State and Becks Blue.
Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5%, isn’t bad for the v low alcohol drinks.
