It is that time around there lol. We’re just about to leave for church here. So did they finally find somebody besides Lucas to build their fridges so the beer stays cold?

I’m not much for long distance travel anymore but I’d update my passport and cross the pond to sit with the 3 of you for a bit. The stories would be awesome.

Let me know when your going because I'm going too

Play in the muck and fix broken stuff like a do here but with warm beer at the end of the day!

Warm beer. A common misconception from your side of the Pond. All "proper" pubs have stone-walled cellars where the temperature probably varies year-round by maybe 1 degree at most. That's where the beer is stored and it sure as hell ain't "warm". Not frozen to death like you would need to do to a pilsner-type beer to make it drinkable, but certainly not warm. You should try it.

Over here, we figured out about 75 years ago that beer was better ice cold. Not our fault you guys are too stubborn to change*************

Got used to "warm" beer in Kenya. We were staying up in the Taita Hills and the beer was as cold as the temp went down the night before. When that's all ya' got - you get "used to it".

I appreciate the info greatly.

I don’t appreciate warm beer tho.

That’s actually from an old joke, I know it’s cold lol. The joke goes why do the Brit’s like warm beer? Because the fridges are made by Lucas. It comes from all the time I soent with a mentor that was into older Jags and other British iron.

I wonder how many guys we could round up to make a trip…..that could be interesting!

 

[oarwhat]

The stories would be flowing. Remember the older I get the better I was.

Land Rovers are like Detroits - they don't leak oil they mark their territory.

My friend's dad liked his beer stout. Never could get used to it. I like frost on the bottle, and I like the higher alcohol content of a Canadian beer over American. But I'll raise a pint to Nige

You have to be careful of that pile of worn GET lying in the corner so that you don't trip over it after a few bevvies....

I would go!

You'd all better take knee-length gumboots, because the BS would be flowing more than ankle-deep!

File me in the "thanks Nige" bin. Always willing to help the little guys. Lots of Cat informtion that is hard to find sometimes.

Thanks Again, Nige

It’s great reading all these comments on here and makes a lovely read.
I will get some pics of my local pub.It is quintessentially English for sure.
I’ve visited Canada often and USA a few times.Over there your beer seems fairly light and allways ice cold.It’s great to sink a few after a day in the snow.
These days,I spend a fair chunk of time In Spain.They are,without doubt the finest brewers of beer I’ve ever had.Allways ice cold and great to drink in the sun.

Thanks Nige, for all the advice that you have freely given over the years..it’s been greatly appreciated.
With an ice cold schooner featuring in my avatar it should come as no surprise that Iam a keen connoisseur of the amber fluid.
But, sadly, I might be part of a dying breed with per capita beer consumption here less than half that of 40 years ago.
