A really good wine or a great whisky is another thing I think...... buts it’s accuired.... Some great real ales in the uk taste good & many of the Belgian beers are truly lovely in flavour....... I understand wines, well I dont but I get the thoughts behind it lol...and whiskey...... but like you say lager tastes like shit, theres no benefit in drinking non alcoholic lager lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollieollie 766 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I remember one night years ago we walked a good 2hrs into the hills, set up camp- fire on, frozen curry’s in the pot etc when a late arrival turned up, a young lad who’d latched onto us. He was f***ing beaming with joy at the miracle deal he’d got on some beer . He proudly produced 24cans from his rucksack for us to marvel at his bounty, which was only a fiver....... was a crate of bleedin kaliber we we’re crying with laughter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bet it wasnt cheap to go out on the beer in Norway lol in sweden I used to pay £5 a pint (wasn’t even a full pint like we have) of norrlands guld, and it was 5.3% so £30 a night just on beer at least to sit in an average small sports bar in a small town called vasterhanige lol does Norway have the same set up as sweden where you can only buy up to 3% beer in shops and anything stronger has to be brought in the government shops after 6pm? I thought that was a good thing tbh instead of being able to buy it 24/7 over here from supermarkets and petrol stations. Systembolgat it’s called in sweden. What work was you doing over there if you don’t mind me asking? Not been yet but will do one day im sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can buy stronger than 3% in the supermarket until 8 on a weekday and 6 on a saturday.spirits sold only in specialist shops. I was killing sheep.120,000 of them.2769 tons of mutton and lamb.1 every 9 seconds roughly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds a lot to us but when they earn £15 - £20 an hr shelf stacking it is relevant to them and they ain’t all about hammering it either lol would you go back??
