    However, there's only VAT to pay, no duty. Hops is not that expensive.

    Kaliber and Barbican. Topper most quality. Although as the competition was kestrel, hoffmeister and Skol they could have put diluted bird **** in a bottle and it wouldn't have been any worse.
    Edit : I can't say sh*t? John f*cking Major said sh*t on TV almost 30 years ago. Come on Gally you prissy bugger. I feel hamstrung on this BBS. It's not a lack of vocabulary it's choosing the appropriate words.

    I like the stuff Infinite Sessions produce. Their pale ale is very drinkable.

    I notice when the pub is attached to the brewery they don’t lower the prices by 50p either!!

    But a pub attached to a brewery still has to pay duty.

    Never had alcohol free fear on my life. If I was in a pub and didn’t want to drink alcohol I would get pop.

    I've heard good things about that but never actually tried it. One of the guys who runs a bar a bit up from me swears by Big Easy, but my choice is Lucky Saint. You can still definitely taste that distinctive AF flavour, but for me it's the closest to actual beer out there.

    New World hops have increased exponentially in price since the craft revolution kicked off. Most of them are imported from America, so the weak pound definitely isn't helping either.

    When you're driving or on an all-dayer and don't want to get too smashed too quickly, it's a good resource to have. I'd far rather drink alcohol free craft beer which actually tastes of something than alcoholic Carling or Stella.

    When I was in England in July, I also got well into Gregg's vegan sausage rolls, which I thought were unbelievably realistic.

    Feel free to shoot me now.

    Love Infinite Sessions as well. Can’t believe I missed them off.

    Chris the founder is a great guy too (and pretty young!)
