    P2 Russian Imperial Stout by The Burton Bridge Brewery takes some beating - 8%.

    Always liked Guinness, but if doesn't travel well.
    You have to find a pub that orders a few barrels so it's been stood a week. This makes it taste better.

    Remember Murphy's stout. Always liked that too

    I remember finding a bar in Madrid that did Guinness (from Dublin) in 1984, it was excellent.

    I can't stand Ginniss lol, but I did use to occasionally like a Murphy's. Weird ehh!.
    Hey if you want to try the most expensive pint of beer/ale in the country (I think its the dearest in the Uk actually), go to London and pay £45 a pint for it. :eek:

    Love a Guinness me. Probably a little out of place in this thread, but I went out a few weeks before Xmas during the day and had to drive so couldn't drink alcohol. So I went on the 0% Guinness, first time I'd had it, was a very nice drink.

    Speaking of that Rich, remember when Barbican came out, as the first or one of the first, non-alcohol lagers.
    Lawrie McMenemy advertised it on telly in about 79-80, and it was really shoite!. :D

    Aye, arsehole influencers who don’t like the stuff are ‘splitting the G’ for their socials… ruining it for the rest of us, the little pubs around our area aren’t able to get any barrels in until the New Year!

    I've just saved a fortune on rail fare.
    I told my landlord about the £45 pint, and as a favour, he charged me £50 to save me from travelling!
