Sugar is artificial, is it?

Where did you grow the glucose?

The sugars are extracted from the Barley during Mashing

not by adding sugar/glucose

Artificial !!! silly use of language mean,t natural brewing of Beer using Barley

Right getting back to Beer ....Where the hell has Singha Gold gone???? it almost tasted like beer from the UK...granted it wasn't 6.4% more like 4.8% but it was a great tipple...and now like all things it's totally disappeared .

nah, they veered off course and were talking about golf greens and such

your lawn is easy, just a bit of work now and then

Beer brewing takes up too much time, space and as I seem to remember stinks the place out. I was shown how to make lao khow drinkable by soaking some sort of ginger in it for a few days, the mrs knows the right sort, I forget it's name as usual. The resulting drink is a cheap way of getting merry, almost as good as the stuff they sell in various jars along sois for 10 baht a go, or 60 for a bottle. I get tired of beer sometimes and now good spirits that I used to buy, and wine of, is way past my 28k a month budget.

Aaah, but Spin wasn't talking about pub prices but 7-11 prices to drink at home. When I was back in UK, I found pubs really expensive, but a lot of supermarket booze really cheap.

Traditionally, the UK has had prices that are reasonably similar for beer, whether bought in supermarkets or the pub. Many Euro countries have a much bigger differential - very expensive bars, very cheap supermarkets.

Uk pubs are actually very cheap these days. Those that are left, that is...

^I believe the 99p pint of Green King IPA at Wetherspoons is still ongoing.

I've gone back to work at times like these the pounds are for saving and the baht is for earning. Also after six months of TV and reading and sleeping and Oxycontin one gets rather bored and spongy brained.

How much is a pint in an UK Pub ? I mean London for example. I remember it was quite cheap compared to other world capitals,

For 200 THB I can have a nice 33ml beer on the Champs Elysees,

same as in Soi Nana,

Guess that would be a problem.

I don't know why anyone would want to go and drink beer at places like weatherspoons. It really is a shining example of the degeneration of society into drinking any old crap on the Friday binge drinking and fighting outing.

Greene King is an excellent brewery, I like their Abbot Ale a lot

drinking good beer in Wetherspoons is a bit like eating home made ice cream in the toilet

^ The real one, Td's GB isnt a wanker. You are though.

In my opinion, all Greene King beers are distinctly average, mass produced beers with little character.

Abbot Ale is the only one which is moderately ok, but I would never pick one over a Wychcraft, Fullers, Timmy Taylors, Black Sheep etc.. level of beer

Deuchers ? I.P.A is a gooden!

Wetherspoons the only UK brewery makin money because of the burger n chips plus a pint for silly money.
Forces other pubs to close cos they cannot compete.
Soon no pubs left except wetherspoons and a few high end places.
Welcome to the socialist republic of GB, a land wasted by successive government interference.
No choice and no freedoms worth havin.

They're not a brewery.

All of the beer company's here are raising their prices by around 22% per keg. This will hit the consumers hard.
