WORST BEER EVER!!!!

[phatfil]

Im out of homebrew, so popped into the cornershop without my glasses unfortunately, and picked up what i thought was a bargain basement 4 pack of lager to quaff with a hot spicey curry this evening..

I cracked a tin poured it and almost threw a Ralph all over the kitchen, What i had spent £4.25 on turned out to be Fosters lager with added Rum flavour, My god this is foul stuff, i wouldnt want to subject my worst enemy to supping it..


if any brew-palls spot this post my goose is cooked in that comunity but for goodness sake if you spot it on the shelf and think it might be different and worth a punt,, DONT!!!

I'm usually an ale drinker but saw the fosters with rum and decided to give it a try. I have to admit I quite liked the classic rum one but the spiced rum one was absolutely foul

[prr]

Isn't fosters lager an oxymoron ?

Im not a fan of the hop alco pops, that carry a 'craft beer' label, its meaningless marketing twaddle that justifies a huge price mark up and little else.

while a real live beer can be bought its seldom found on supermarket shelves..  Normally i have 4 kegs of the good stuff on tap

They are not alco pops lol , just because it's brewed by a smallish brewery and has nice bright labels it doesn't make them mass marketed 'unreal marketed fancy alcopop ales' .

Blimey .

Ps have a look for these in a supermarket don't think you'll find them.

each to their own.. but a small brewery isnt likely to be able to supply a national chain of supermarkets with more than a bottle or 2 per branch..

read the labels made under licence will probably be found in the micro print somewhere..

Ive seen Breakspears on supermarket shelves, and the brewery stands vaccant and unused, the name has been brought by a international supplier..


this is what hops look like..
the stuff found in supermarkets is infused with processed hop oil or at best pellets.. and then gets all the life filtered out of it, ..

but i am a self confessed real/live beer snob

Yup each to their own I've tried some home brewed muddy water lol but prefer the bottled microbrewery stuff ps I'd be very suprised if you did see theses in supermarkets as I've been ordering online from breweries . But hey I might be looking at the wrong supermarket
