No! Banghead
99% of bars only sell Keo or Carlsberg lager. My local also sells Guinness in cans with a widget at some outrageous price.
There are some Irish pubs that sell Guinness and a couple of micro breweries – one in Limassol and one in Pafos but I haven’t tried those yet.
Just recently Carrefour has started selling Bishops Finger, Spitfire, etc. in cans and bottles.
Hence the home brew. whistle:

Most beers taste the same nowadays. They have a process known as "Burtonisation" in which many brewers now treat their local water to produce the same taste in their beers wherever they are brewing. It is an abomination as it has killed most "local" beers. E.G. Wherever you go a pint of Marstons Pedigree tastes the same despite the fact it may have been brewed in any one of a dozen places around the UK. (Obviously this assumes that the landlord knows how to look after his ales)
Personal favourite is Fullers "London Pride", which is still brewed with local water.
I used to like Courage "Directors" but it went off a few years ago. Round here it is almost all Green King sick2: so I stick to lager (or did when I was drinking ..... before the NHS Gestapo warned me off)
If you are going for bottles the Spitfire is good or Theakstons.

Anything by the Sharpes brewery although Doombar has to be my favourite.
Magners when I'm in the mood for it
Glayva
Lager wise proper Czech Budweiser Budvar
And back in the day, whatever that dusty bottle of whiskey was at the back of the bar at my old local before it was taken over and turned into a family friendly pub. (How could they turn the Pirate into a bleedin family pub, I still can't believe that cussing:)

Glayva
Oooh. I was introduced to that on a visit to the glennfiddich distillery where they make that.
Lovely stuff. cloud9:

Yes it's ok for a liquer but not like a good single malt. Glen Turret is my personal favourite. SWMBO prefers Jura.

Found it by accident when I was 18. A mate of mine was going off for the summer to teach archery at an american summer camp (He did almost kill me with the bow a couple of days before but that is another story). Our local was a 2 part pub, one part was all real ales and the other had the biggest whiskey selection in Cornwall. We'd been working through the whiskeys to give him a send off.

Me bruv' got me a bottle of that for Christmas. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it can't be as good a Black Bushmills.
Fullers London Pride gets my vote too.

Although tonight the Young's is going down too well. Ten(ish) pints and Mrs TMR (to be) will not be happy when I stagger back. Happens...

Binocular.
What's your tip for the 3:15?
I fancy Sizing Europe but a place only bet on Afsoun looks good.

Sizing Europe didn't even try.

Drinks on me all round!
(The bloody office has just rung asking if I could go back to sort a big problem). After six pints, I declined politely.
Can't wait for the 4.00 now!

Surely that would be 401 old boy.
Sorry, Geek humour. Spent all day with the Dev team popping in the office so couldnt resist redface:

You might want to explain that one for the benefit of Wenchy :-)

Crack away Jack in the last. Another beauty, but I only had a fiver on it, unlike Gary the Yid who had fifty. He is buying the beers. Could be a long night...

'Twas user error. Again. Strange girl, she is - very 50's Rockabilly type. Voluptuous, bright red lipstick and tight clothing. Not unnatractive. Has pictures of Elvis on her desk. But a bit mad.
Ripe for plucking though (not a typo)
