    It was my dad who bought the Bud but I'm no beer snob though and will sink them in November

    I did um and arr about getting one of these...which you can buy kegs of Stella and Morreti for
    Philips Perfect Draft Home Beer Draft System HD3720/25 | ...

    But it works out cheaper to go the pub

    What's the draft selection like in pubs these days, Cy?

    Still the same old Heineken/Tiger/Asahi/Singha/Chang choice?

    Yeah. Draft selection here is piss poor. I always laugh when my wife and I go to dinner and they bring the menu. Beer selection, Singha, Chang, Leo, Heineken and on a rare moment, Hoegaarden. If Hoegaarden I will order up. The rest is goat piss no matter how cheap it is. And unlike RD, I am a beer snob.

    I just can't do it Hal. Occasionally someone puts a Leo in front of me and I take one knock and the rest is plant food. I guess at this point in my life, I can afford better beer. Sad really in that even the Thai Craft beer is Goat piss.

    Felt like a BBQ'd steak tonight.

    Grass fed ribeye, carrot puree, roast pumpkin and scalloped potatoes. It filled the spot. A stay lamb cutlet found it's way onto our plates also

    Tragic.
    The internet says differently, below is revenue based but Stella is ahead by a landslide.

    I drink Asahi when I'm in my own bars and if it runs out I move to Stella then Beer Laos.

    Nobody in the UK drinks Fosters you bellend, although they did make cool advertising videos in the past.

    There's so much choice in the UK, most locally made.

    Its akin to saying all Yanks live on McDonalds and baked beans.
    Or Cyrille will open a book shop in CM with Cheers beer on tap.

    Someone or big industry is pulling statistics out of their wizards sleeve.

    We are a bit ore loyal to our local drop in Scotland and going buy the figures we were not included in the Great United Kingdom Beer-off:

    The trade’s most popular drink



    WITH sales of more than £722 million, according to CGA’s figures, lager remains by some way the most popular drink in Scottish venues.

    And this is up from last year’s figure of £684m, showing there’s still plenty of life in the category.


    Tennent’s Lager remains the biggest player in the Scottish market, followed by Italian brand Peroni, Carling and Stella Artois.


    The Big Red T kept its profile up this year through marketing campaigns that included handing out its Golden Can awards to recipients including footballer Andy Robertson and makeup artist Jamie Genevieve, while Stella launched a quality accreditation scheme and Carling reinforced its British roots with its Made Local campaign, as well as introducing new branded glassware.


    Other developments among the big names included Carlsberg overhauling its flagship Danish Pilsner and English brewer and pub company Marston’s reinvigorating the McEwan’s name with the relaunch of McEwan’s Lager.


    But it’s not all about the older names.


    Craft beer has become a force to be reckoned with in Scottish pubs in recent years, and this is reflected in Innis & Gunn Lager now being the tenth-biggest lager in the Scottish-trade, according to CGA, with lagers such as Paolozzi by Edinburgh Beer Factory, St Mungo and West Four by West and Caesar Augustus by Williams Brothers also reported to be performing strongly.


    In fact, lager is said to be one of the most common crossover points for beer drinkers experimenting with craft beer.


    Earlier this year Sarah Stirton of Edinburgh craft brewer Stewart Brewing said lager can be a “gateway” into craft beer for many customers.
    “Pubs have the power to use their lager offerings to introduce people to the craft beer world,” said Stirton.
    “It’s familiar, comforting people [and they] feel like they know what they are getting.
    “It doesn’t take much convincing to get a lager drinker to take a chance on a craft version.”
    And brewers stressed the importance of serving lager – and any other beer – to the best standard.
    Cellar management, clean beer lines and the correct glassware were all said to be of paramount importance.
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    Craft beer is where it's at. I love local craft beer. Seems to be quite popular nowadays here. Although, I haven't drank in a month and don't intend to.
