re: make do and mend. I think it is probably a good thing that small tailoring/alteration businesses (that mostly disappeared in the 90's iirc) seem to be do doing well and making a comeback on the dying high streets in recent years.

Are “beetles” a separate offering from British music? Is that what we’ll be betting on instead of horses when Brexit stops horses crossing the Irish Sea?

Seriously, though, the sheer amount of 3.8%ers on tap at just about every pub makes me want to become a teetotaler.

Not a fan, sorry. My alcoholic drugs of choice are craft beer, wine and the occasional glass of cognac.

Whenever I check out a new pub here I always ask for their strongest beer on tap, which usually ends up being like 5.5%. I've once been warned by a bartender that it could make for a rough afternoon. Crazy, crazy stuff indeed.

They quietly lowered Stella from 5.2% to 4.7% some years back, they got away with a fucking crime and nobody seemed to care!
― calzino, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 11:15 (four years ago) link
A special beer pub is the only way to go, to not get 3 or 4% pish on tap. The number of pubs/hip places w/ ~hip beers~ still seems on the rise though, no?

Pravha is indeed tailor-made for the UK, they apparently did some research and found that Czech lager had too "heavy" a taste for mass consumption and that a "light" version would go down better, so they made something that tastes like carling, you can't say we don't get what we deserve.

I find my ability to dodge flying weaponised plates when pissed is just as impaired when returning home drunk on 4.7% stella tbh!

Trying to remember where I was recently when I heard two men, who were older than me, enthusiastically talking up the merits of drinking Bavaria. Bavaria, I thought, wasn’t that the piss we used to drink cheap with Dutch Gold in university?

Bavaria's 8.6 is the go-to beer for French hobos.

the fuckers have nobbled Tyskie as well. only 5% now instead of 5.5%
and I noticed they've done the same to Old Rosie cider - used to be 7.3%, now 6.8%

It's fucking bullshit man. I didn't know they'd watered down Tiskies as well ffs
