You mean you like it?? Try sitting in the back whilst being driven along a road with humps (not humphs).

Look, I'm the most popular man in popular land in the history of popular civilisation at the moment. Of course I like it. I was even allowed a chippy tea last night and that's not normal here...

A true renegade. Sticking it to the man. You could celebrate with a case of this. They ship nationwide. This brewery is run by one of the guys who ran the Firkin chain of brewpubs years ago. www.wbbrew.com/product/renegade-lager/Maybe you could have a tailgate party.

That is expensive for a mini keg, £20.50 for a Pilsner-style beer. £11.97 for the real thing here.
Swings and roundabouts though, Guinness was about 12€ for 6 330ml bottles last time I looked. We don't get Fosters or Carling, got to thankful for small mercies.

Five pounds fifty for a pint of Guinness in a grotty Irish pub in Dunedin the other night. Seems an OK price to me!

5.50 local seems to be the going rate. Last time I was in an Irish bar in Germany (2 years ago) it was about that in €. It was about that in $ when I was in the U.S. January last year.

Why is a German Pilsener the real thing and an English one not? Surely only beer from Plzeň is the real thing?
Last time I was in a pub I think the price of a pint still started with a 4. I remember being a teenage barman on the day that the landlord first put a pint of ordinary bitter up to £1. The locals were revolting. Similar memories of my Nan going beserk the day a packet of fags hit £1.

I said it was x here in Germany for Pilsner beer not a Pilsner-style beer. Have you been near the Daily Mail and Daily Express in your local newsagent ? I never suggested German Pilsner is the only Pilsner, just that if I want Pilsner I can buy it for almost half the price of a Pilsner kind of lookey-likey beer.

Anyway, I've found another Easter egg.
They reckon there dozens of them. I'm mildly ashamed that I'm looking for them.

Sorry B, not looking for an argument, just chewing the fat. I can't quite follow your reasoning here but never mind. I'm certainly not trying to make any kind of nationalist point. I was just saying that surely all these types of beer which aren't from Plzen are pilsner-style. The Berkshire boys are just being honest about it!
EDIT: Ah right now I get it, you're not talking about German beer. I got the wrong end of the stick. My literal mind running two steps in front of me as usual.

Ha ha, nyet, Tovarishch, you don't worry, is normal Al here, very nice, you like. And I'll be even more normal when I get my mitts on the beer in my fridge tonight. Nice few bottles of local Old Ale and Golden Ale, followed by a curry and some Montepulciano.
