Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I was running low on booze so I went to Sainsburys -----------today with a view to buying some booze. Even then their limited stock was piss poor (beer shortages anyone?) so I bit the bullet and bought a couple of Duval's at £2.00 a pop.
I don't know if it's me but I though it was pretty average - and it's an 8% beer!
I found it metallic, with a bitter aftertaste. Once you got past that and got used to it, it was a reasonably decent beer. But nothing to write home about.
I'd doubt if I'd buy it again tbvh.
Forget Duvel and get yourself down Morrison's and get some Chimay Blonde and Westmalle Tripel. Trappist beer at it's best.
Got some for the football today (trying to be good this October). Got to say it is good stuff the best 0% I have tried. Could have done with something stronger at fulltime.
I just received this month's Whiskey Me deliver. I have East London Liquor Co Single Malt to enjoy after the footie. Says on on the tasting card tastes like cherry/gingerbread/muffin!!
Was at the local non league ground today , had a couple of the usual draft piss water and noticed that they had Holsten Pils in the fridge, thought I am having that , not had it for years . . . what on earth happened ... ****ing horrible. tasted like it has been brewed with a ton of Haribo kids sweets

Duvel ain't bad but it's not a patch on them two.
Lets be honest Westmalle Triple is a whole different ball game to Duvel

Resorted to a few cans of alcoholic diluted rust last night...or Stella from a can as it's more commonly known as.
Tastes like the can has dissolved into it.
In terms of cheap supermarket lager I think Stella is decent, certainly better than Carling, Fosters, Budweiser, Corona, Sol, Carlsberg, Bud Light, Coors Light
But you're right it aint great
One of the worst things about this country, the amount of utter **** lager we have to put up with. All the good stuff mostly only sold in individual bottles and a bit pricier (thankfully Tesco near me does 6 x 330ml can packs of Budvar for just £5.50)
Finished off the cans of Stella I had and now on the Malbec (sorry GCRO)
day off tomorrow as need to be up early to go London on Saturday morning, plan to be on beers from 9am train in, brunch at a pub with beer hopefully and then cans on way to Ascot plus whatever beer there
Sunday we have Krombacher for watching the game v Everton
