I'm pretty sure I've read on here that the Carlsberg contract finished last season. Can anybody confirm this?

 

If so, what's the most likely replacement?

 

I am hoping for a nice premium 5% lager personally...

sod the beer ! anyone know what cider they will be serving ?

hope they change to Bulmers, rather than Magners if it has to be bottled.

would be nice to be able to buy a pint instead of getting ripped off with the bottles though.

Thatchers Gold !!!!

Would be quite happy with Peroni.

 

Failing that; Heineken, Coors, Asahi, Amstel, Budweiser, Carling, Efes, A Le Coq, Stella, Leffe, Corona, Bintao, Tiger or a few others will do.

I'd like to see a list of lagers, beers and ales people like here as opposed to anyone trying to answer the question about the contracts too.

90% of real ale is sweet horrible stuff.

 

In your opinion, and you're opinion is usually 90% ********

 

Do you know how many real ales there are out there? To say 90% is sweet horrible stuff is completely ignorant seeing as you're probably not even had 9% of real ales.

No one really actually likes real ales do they? It's a myth surely.

 

You obviously haven't tasted that pure gold in a glass, Tanglefoot. Nothing better for a days drinking. Wont be any good at SMS because they wont look after it correctly.

 

The reason these places serve p*ss water is because it's cheap and any muppet can look after it. To keep a decent ale you need passion for it and you need to know what you're doing.

I love a pint of good IPA. Wye valley brewery do a drop called HPA (Herefordshire Pale Ale,) it's nectar.

 

Every effort I have seen to mass serve proper ale has left it tasting awful though, so I would prefer to see a good lager at SMS. Carling is not a good lager.

Has anyone else tried to do a Rochefort 8 and a Rochefort 10 in a lunch hour at Lowlander then head back to the office?

 

Not in a lunchtime but had a Rochefort 6, 8 and 10 in an evening followed by Westmalle dubbel then a tripel. :spaz:

Finally someone comes up with a list that makes it looks like they've tried some beer!

 

Add in some Surrey Hills, Dark Star and a few Kernel bottles and we'll be well happy!

Bulmers and Magners are the same thing, aren't they? Bulmers has been around for years in Ireland and just got marketed in the UK as Magners but the same stuff is poured into both bottles.

Pretty sure you are correct with this.

If they want a tasty beer that isn't too strong but would still keep the punters happy, rather than 49er, Ringwood Best would be good.

 

Good idea, a local brewery producing "a beast of a beer".

They should get a local brewery to produce a new ale called "Saints" or something and sell that in the ground. Nice little marketing tie-up, easy to promote and it would be fantastic to have a beer named after the club.

you are correct to a degree. Magners is sold as Bulmers in Ireland & Magners elsewhere, due to a link between the firms going back to the 30's. the Bulmers we buy here is from the Hereford, where it has always been produced.

They should persuade the most local brewery to come up with something - The itchen does flow past SMS after all!

Ringwood probably would have bottled their Best or FortyNiner into plastic bottles.. however as they have been bought out by Marston's, they may not be as "local" in thought anymore :-(

 

Most ales would be fine in a plastic bottle, for a half time refreshment - no worry over "looking after it"... and much much better than any lager?

I think there's a gap for a sports car in Soton with a good selection of decent beers and ales.

Good idea, a Maserati or an Alfa 8C and a few pints of Ringwood, sounds good, but probably not together, the OB may not approve.
