Pretty much everyone I know despises it. If there is nothing else on the go, I donāt mind it. I find it very easy to drink, Iād never get bloated off it I find.
Commit to the hipster life mate. Hop house is only a state of denial
Ah I love my crafties man, however I am currently craftyless in Seattle*
*Not Seattle.
Iām short handed myself. Iām after pulling an IPA I bought about a year ago in Aldi out the of the press. Italian IPA. I bought two of the them at the time and thereās a reason itās been in the press for a year. There isnāt much in the press, so itās some achievement to still be undrank. Iāve it in the freezer in the hope itāll be some way palatable

I was on my 3rd can of that dreadful Stella Artois when I attempted to polish off my ānight tabletsā. Now the Stella was piss but the cholesterol tablet abandoned the regular entry port and got wedged about halfway down.
15 minutes later Iām in the bog emptying upstairs and downstairs. Herself suggested (grudgingly) a brandy and port. I acceded instantly despite the port being possibly 2ā16 vintage. However, after 3 steadying tumblers Iām much improved.
So good in fact that Iāve decided Heat was one of the great movies.

I vow now before all of ye, Iāll never drink stella artois again. It took me 3 days to drink 6 cans.

Have you noticed a lack of stock yourself? I havenāt been to a proper offy in a while now, just the local Centra equivalents. The offering has, emmmm, regressed. Itās been a while since Iāve looked at Karpackie and gone āHmmmā.
Itās gone to absolute shit.
I got the last 8 pack of stout tonight. Other than that it was Carlsberg
My man is well stocked, but not entirely in what youād want. Kinnegar is hard got, and I canāt get a can of Pilsner Urquell for love nor money cc @ciarancareyshurlingarmy I donāt know where you live but the bigger Tescoās have a very good stock of Crafties. The McGargles are 4 for ten and their IPA and their session IPA are very good.
Cans of Guinness are a fraud as well
Iām out in the sticks currently and have been purchasing booze in Cappamore. 
Will be heading east this weekend and will be within walking distance of an OāBriens, at which point my craft worries will be over.
They are somewhat palatable.
They are operating as my filler at the minute, Iāll buy four IPAs and then Iāll tip at the Guinness because the IPAs are an absolute rob, but Iād love to find a halfway daycent beer to fill the gap that isnt expensive, because cans of Guinness are just cans of disappointment

After four IPAs Iād probably tip away at Tuborg and Iām not even joking. Hard bet value wise. Youād never get a bad can of Tuborg.
Staraparomen if you can get a good deal on the bottle. Its pricey enough
I was drinking Zwytec the other night cc @balbec like something I would have drank in college. The Tyskie is just about passable but I wouldnāt be looking forward to it. I canāt drink Tuborg since a holiday in Turkey where I poisoned myself with it.
Ya itās not too bad, but the Urquell has me ruined for beer, I used to love it. But now itās just meh. You can get 5 for ten in some places, but sure you can get 4 nice beers for ten as well so why would you
Iām just drinking for the sake of it now.
I love beer. But I love nice beer. Itās an awful expensive affliction. Couldnāt drink bud or coors or Heineken or whatever.
I like a balance. Something nice and not expensive. I love trying new ones.
The nearest offie to me is a Eurospar so Iāve been drinking piss the last few months when I canāt get anything decent
