Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a UA-cam video every Tuesday & Friday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT on Twitch.
Alanna x
Getting pissed alone in the kitchen is a remarkably British thing to do, especially over Christmas as you read the mail from the CSA.
Followed up with cooking chips and a small kitchen fire.
I am pissed in the kitchen watching this
@@demonbarber101 Just remember to keep those kitchen fires small. Just a little cheeky one on occasion!
Alanna, you're a national treasure. Watching you get slightly more hammered and giggly as time went on was just hilarious! I just hope nobody shouted too loudly the following morning!
I'm watching to see if she ends up slumped across the table.
If the UA-cam channel goes down the drain, look out for Alanna at your local bus-stop, swigging double-strength ale and shouting at cars.
Hysterically funny - better than anything on British TV today. Well done Alanna !!!
You're too kind!
Smooth,full bodied and complex,"that's what they say about me hahaha" yet again Alanna hits my laughter button
😂
...and only after a few sips of beer!! lol
That's a creepy way of saying something is funny
@@Forestgravy90 You have a creepy way of trolling .......
Being sober and seeing someone like yourself getting progressively hammered is hilarious!! Well done you! Hope you drank lots of water to ease the hangover lol love your videos xxx
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Ale is beer.... there is also larger but that is different but still is mostly the same.
Far from being hammered only drank half a beer all up.
This is probably the year's most anticipated video, because we all know by now exactly how it ends. 😀
😂 hope you like it!
Kentish cider review next !
ahahahahaha!!! onward to Spring and bevvies!
Allana on the lash never fails to disappoint.
Messy
I was stationed in the UK and I was definitely surprised by the quality beer when I got there. It was the early 90s, before the big craft movement in the US. I thought Coors was primo at the time. My mind was blown.
Actually they are all beers. Ale, stout, IPA, lager etc are all types of beer. 😊
I hear that a lot from American folk I know
I know there are some good American craft beers but how you ever thought Coors was any good...I'll put it down to you being young.
I know a few Americans that came over with the "the british drink flat, warm beer" notion and had an epiphany the first time they had a cellar chilled ale at the pub. Beer is only warm if you don't drink it fast enough.😂
@eightw5783 it came in a 5 liter "party ball", how could it be bad?
IPA = India Pale Ale. This type of beer was developed for export and used ingredients designed to make the beer stable so as not to spoil on long sea journeys. In practice, they reduced the malt and increased the hops. Double IPA is, I believe, double hopped in that hops are added both before and after fermentation. I've always found IPAs to be quite harsh on first taste but they improve as I drink more! I must say I suspect chilli peanuts did little to improve the first tastes of the beers.
Indian pale ale was developed for the British army in India. Hence the name.
My understanding is that the 'double' in double IPA refers to the amount of malt used. More malt means more sugar to ferment and therefore usually a stronger beer. That's what my local craft brewer told me anyway.
@@harveybrant3352 Having now fact checked myself, you are correct in that the "double" appears to have originally referred to an increase in malt to produce a higher alcohol content. However, there are many beers being sold as Double IPA which are described as extra hopped. It seems Double IPA is also called Imperial IPA. There's a brewer's association who say this, "... Imperial IPA as an IPA with color that is straw to medium amber, 6.0%-8.4% alcohol, with hop aromas and flavors that are very high, but not aggressively bitter. Among brewers the general consensus is that a double IPA is an IPA with amplified aromas, flavors, and alcohol". So that suggests there is no actual requirement to double anything!
@@neilgayleard3842 It's India Pale Ale. It's not Indian it's British.
The British army in imperial India won't have had refrigeration and it's a great light ale to drink at room temperature. Some ales can be really heavy tasting - good on a rainy evening in November, less so in summer.
I'm defo going to give the 1698 a go. Less so the chocolate-banana slammer!
I admit that I was falling down drunk a few times my first year here - totally caught out by the ABV and enjoying beer that actually tastes like it smells! (Bitter lover here.) I'm pretty sure it was a game for some - "let's get the American pissed!" It worked. Lol
Did you fall for the old 'Let's give the American some cider because their cider is just apple juice' routine...? Lol ☺
Friday fun with Alanna, great stuff as usual. Could you imagine what would be like it sitting at the bar with Alanna and a group of friends on a Friday afternoon while she tried out the various beers on offer. The conversations & laughs you would have. 😝🤣
😂 Thank you!
Going to a beer festival would also be an education 😆
PLEASE buy yourself a glass. They don't cost a fortune, and you get to see the actual colour of the liquid. Yes, you will need a bit of practice to get the head right, but I know you will find such practice quite enjoyable. Drinking from cans inevitably imparts a metallic taste.
I'm not a beer drinker but you have a great sense of humour so I'll be watching the video anyway.
Thank you!
@@AdventuresAndNaps I was offered a 'beer' in the USA by a guy beside a huge barrel towed by 4 horses, it was Budweiser Light, I said, no thanks, water is stronger!
8:21 is a high point in all my years of watching A&N so far - that was the *rawest* half cut giggle at your own joke I've ever seen. Absolute chefs kiss.
😂
Your cheerful, giggly reaction to the taste of McEwan's was priceless. :)
Thanks for watching!
"Hi so nice to meet you, my names I don't care" 😂🤣🤣 I'm not much of a beer drinker but even so I don't mind the drinking out of a bottle but never out of a can - I find that it gives it a 'tinny' taste. Great video and such fun to witness your continued beer journey. Here's to the next round. Cheers! 🍺🍺😁
Thanks so much for watching!
I bet you had lots of fun making this one, good job you videoed it because you might not remember it without.
😂
Wow! What a sweetheart you are, bravely tasting those beers for the good of research.
You’re a real star, that was so funny and enjoyable. Loved the way you kept going back to that Shepherd Neame one….Hic!
Did you notice, you preferred the ones in bottles rather than cans? Me too! I find canned drinks more fizzy but that could be because drinking from a can puts more of the smell right up your nose while you are sipping. I loved your review... I feel like I was there and tasted with you... we shared an experience. Finding your drink can take decades... but it is a fun journey along the way and you discover a lot of interesting things. In my older years I hardly drink at all but I think I learned to appreciate the moment... an enjoyable drink in a good place in the right circumstances... much like a great song or drama, context make a big difference. I loved your after dinner suggestion, better than a Cigar and a Brandy.
Otherwise she'd end up with Super Tennants!
Finding your favourite drink can take decades true enough. I'm 76 and still trying to find mine.
The Brewdog is the trend of citrus flavouring in 'craft ales'. In other words - minging. Loved the video 🙂
Not a fan of brewdog I'd take a Theakstons or a Badger beer over that over hyped trash!
"Hi, so nice to meet you. May name's I Don't Care" -- Love it! Fab video.
Thanks so much for watching!
Alanna I love it when you have a Friday drink tasting session...the obvious and ever increasing gentle mellowness you exhibit as you progress through the beers is just brilliant - thank you for doing what you do and keeping us all so entertained! 😀
You're too kind!!
"Full bodied, smooth and complex. That's what they say about me!" That made me laugh...a lot! =D
😂
Yeah, that was a great line
This is one of my favourite videos yet😅. Your enthusiasm for getting squiffy in the kitchen is palpable😅
Good, honest and a great personality. Perfectly truthful opinion delivered with humour.
My kind of review!
Thank you kindly!
I believe you have proven what we all knew. It would be fun to have a drink with Alanna. Ten out of ten beer bottles for being a happy drinker. 🍺
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi, Alanna, loved the video it was brilliant. The Patreon promotion laying on the floor surrounded by beer bottles was really good. Your presentation here was very well done.
Thanks so much!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Why did you move to the UK? ever heard of Special Brew? that is a very strong beer it use to be 8% vol it is now 7.5 % but still a strong beer
@@michaelhawkins7389 "Barley Wine" is even stronger IIRC.🍺😵
One of your best videos, Alanna. So much fun.
I was making bets with myself on how many beers you could get through. 😄
Thank you!!
Oh Alanna,you had me doubled up with laughing,so funny.you are such a good sport and you are hilarious.great video.
😊 thank you
I love how drunk you sound after literally the first sip of beer :D
IPAs, or India Pale Ales, were slightly higher in alcohol than other beers when introduced, but more of the wort was fermented, meaning few residual sugars, and they were heavily hopped. IPAs were formulated to survive long voyages by sea better than other styles of the time of its inception in 1850s
It's the over hopping I can't stand in a lot of craft beers. I'm thinking that's probably what she doesn't like yeah
Haven’t watched you for a couple of weeks , but never forgot how funny your videos are 😆
Thanks for uploading 2 videos a week now! I’ve felt really weird the past few days, so it’s nice to chill and watch one of your videos, they’re always so funny, i really appreciate your videos :)
Thanks so much!!
I love that you varied your scoring system for each one. 4.5/5... 2/8... 5/7 🤣🤣
😁
Your 'alcohol consumption' videos are always a blast ! Thanks !
Thanks so much!
i don't normally watch this sort of video but oddly, I found this one actually charming
Hi Alanna,to get the true flavour of beer you need a really good glug, as most men do…to get the true maximum taste experience…and preferably out of a glass.I make this statement after donkey’s years of having to support the brewing industry…your sense of adventure is always forthcoming to entertain and educate your viewers.Cheers Roly🇬🇧.
Absolutely brilliant, seeing you slowly getting giddy, what a trooper xx
Great fun! I'm surprised and happy for you that you actually liked some. I'm going to try some of these now. Great video 👍
Thanks! 😀
Strong beers are often sweeter.
Best pub snacks are... Smiths Scampi Fries and Bacon Fries... Loved this video.
So glad I have found this page💕.You are absolutely hilarious without even knowing it and your personality shines through the video and onto screen for subscribers to feel it.This video is brilliant and as video goes on it progresses to amazing🤪👍.Keep up the good work and I look forward to catching up with rest of videos and will become a patron member.I also do need to say you are absolutely stunning but I don’t think you know it and you need to get told more often.There is not many out their who have the trifecta ie.Nice Heart,Looks and Personality❤️😉. I look forward to more videos and commenting on them, thank you again x
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it
I stopped in a "free house"(where the brewery doesn't own the pub.) in Peterborough a few years back. There was a "Real Ale" night. Beers or Ales started at 9%. The guy next to me, asked for a 1/3rd of a pint of "Roger and Out" . I watched as it was delivered from a small barrel behind the barman. Unknowingly I asked the guy why only a 1/3rd of a pint? "Just two of these and I will be legless!"
I never found out its strength.
I remember a New Years Eve years ago, when unusually, my wife and I had no New Years party to go to, so we decided to have a night out and installed ourselves in a real ale pub in our city centre. We were perched on bar stools right across from the strong ales pumps. I had a pint of Roger and Out and got a particular taste for it. I stayed with the same brew for the next three pints, and having drunk four, I decided it was time for a visit to the gents. I carefully lowered myself from my bar stool to the floor and suddenly discovered that my legs had stopped working. I felt (reasonably) semi-sober otherwise, (a bit tiddly but not too bad) but my legs just wouldn't work, and just folded under me. I dragged myself to my feet, and headed for the toilets, only to find my legs wobbling again before I got there.
The next time I came across 'Roger and Out' was the following summer, on a visit to a pub in Sheffield, but there the door to the Gents was right next to where I was sitting, which was itself right opposite the bar. Nevertheless, I drank it in halves and stopped well before I started feeling the effects. A lovely brew, but too risky to go all out on it!
I cannot wait to see this as there are some nice beers/ales in the UK, Hobgoblin Gold is a favourite of mine.
I partial to a King Goblin
I think I tried Hobgoblin Ruby on a previous video, but don't think I've tried Gold yet!
@@AdventuresAndNaps Gold is a smoother taste and easier to drink
Hobgoblin is a Carlsberg brand. Nice enough. Locally we have tons of great breweries. Inveralmond Ossian is one of my favourites.
Porter is an interesting type of strong beer. Used to love the stuff.
Theakstons "old peculiar"
Getting hammered in your own kitchen is a very british thing to do love your videos
Northern Monk "Death Star Stout" is an AMAZING Chocolate, Peanut & Caramel Imperial Stout weighing in at 12%. It's like a liquid Snickers Bar :)
Wow, sounds awesome!
NEVER get an Abaddon 17%
Newcastle Brown Ale and Worthington White Shield. the White Shield can't be drunk from the bottle as there is sediment at the bottom. Bring it home carefully, no jolts or shaking. Probably leave it undisturbed on a shelf for a day or three. CAREFULLY decant into a tilted glass, pour the beer down the side SLOWLY. Hold at eye-level while decanting, stop when you see sediment approaching the bottle mouth. Enjoy !
Loved this! You have naturally good taste in beer (and yes, it's all beer; they are different styles of beer) and I love the McEwan's and 1698 too; my favourite supermarket beers. IPA is India Pale Ale. Beer used to go bad on the sea voyage between Britain and India, so they added more hops (the preservative in beer), which ruined the beer by making it utterly unbalanced and bitter, but hey! It was British beer! In India! In more recent times, barbarians who hate beer, but love bitterness have popularised drinking this stuff for fun!!! Worse, it has gotten into a macho contest to see who can have the hoppiest beer and I always vet any new beer I try for hop bragging. Any trace of that and I'm gone. I love stout, but that last one is new to me. I'm intrigued. Sainsbury's has no really good stout and while I'm not sure that's one, it does sound like an experience, so I may have to take a trip to Tesco.
Looks like you had fun! :)
Thanks so much for watching!
Didn't know that about how IPA came about. The sooner this IPA fad goes away the better, it's like drinking flowers.
You sound like a sensible traditionalist. You're going to love my little story.
I worked for a brewery that made some custom beers on demand for the buyers. One day our biggest customer wanted "a dark IPA". The response was something like "So you want an ale, with lots of hops?". Turned out the consumers requested this because they all were on the IPA hype, but obviously wanted something else, because the product they preferred was the least hoppy one. They just wanted to drink a dark ale, but in a bottle that said "IPA".
Well, they paid for it. But it never felt right bottling that nice ale in IPA bottles. :(
A barbarian who loves bitter stuff.
@@donkfail1 That is fantastic,tragic and entirely believable. Fads, eh? Well at least the beer was good. Credit due for figuring out what they actually wanted! It's an underrated skill.
I got some sri lankan lion stout from a corner shop, 8.8%. I got 2 bottles a 660ml and a 330 ml and it cost £8 for the both, no idea how much each bottle was. I thought at that strength I could sip them slowly and make them last all night, I ended up quaffing the both in no time and going back out for more beer.
IPA - Indian Pale Ale. Hops were added as a preservative, and IPAs being beer sent India were over hopped to ensure the beer remained good during the long voyage on ships. If you like hops then IPAs are good (on a hot day), if you like non-hoppy then you're looking at more grain/mash focused beers. Double Dragon from Wales is good too.
Old style IPAs, like Shepherd Neame's, are very different to the 2 that she tried here. Which are more American style, and very hoppy. Traditional English IPAs are very balanced
Fantastic, Brilliant video can't stop smiling. You have made my day.
You are so kind!
the best funiest video. Alana getting drunk
There's loads out there for you to try, Innis and Gunn, Hobgoblin, or the Mother in law as i call it, Bishops Finger etc . Great Video as always 🍺🍻👍
Thanks so much for watching!
King goblin is better than hobgoblin.
Love the gradual slurring. Warms my heart. I love watching people getting paraletic whilst I remain sober. Thanks Alana.
Great video Alanna - Vocation and the Kentish are something I'll look out to try now. have you ever tried Wells banana bread beer? It's a golden ale with yes, a fragrance of banana. It's about 5.2% and one of my favs.
Wells banana bread beer is tasty
@@richardharper3397 it really is a great brew 100%
taste is a bit too overpowering to drink more than one in a session but definitely one to have that one of.
IPA stands for India Pale Ale beer that was brewed slightly stronger so it kept on it's trip to India for the UK troops in the 19th century.
"Vocation Imperial Banana" sounds like an epic drink ! 😁 I'm with you on IPA though. Not a great fan of IPA's in general.
At least it's not just me!
IPAs are delicious. Imperial IPAs are less hoppy and more malty like your traditional IPA.
Currently drinking Old Rasputan, it's pretty damn good!
My favourite at the moment. I saw it on draught yesterday in Leeds but I was driving and my wife wouldn't let me 😂
Ah, I always enjoy exploring the boundaries of barrel ageing. My favourite pastime, that.
I always look forward to a pissed Alanna video! Cheers 🍻
☺️ I'm so happy!
Excellent choice, Shepherd Neame is the UK·s oldest family run and still on the original site brewery.
Thanks so much for watching!
Beer Zombie Alert no doubt ! Hope you will have some pub snacks to for full experience!
You know it! 😂
Pork scratching and scampie fries I hope 😀
@@dave_h_8742 Pork scratchings a given, but Step Away From The Scampie Fries! If you want to show how worldly wise you are, it's Bombay mix time.
1. Alanna loads up on super-strength ale.
2. Space and time are transcended.
3. [Scene missing]
4. Money? Money!
This is a fine plan. A fine plan indeed.
That was a lot of fun, tipsy Alanna videos are always hilarious. I liked the look of all of those beers, will look out for the 1698 in particular this weekend. I like IPAs too, but not to everyone’s taste.
I think 1698 is my new favourite!
Oh my lord you are perfect. Absolutely love this video!
Whereabouts in Britain are you?
I adore your passion for beer.
Shepherd Neame 1698 might taste that bit more deadly when you drink it straight from the bottle like that. It's a 'bottle conditioned' ale, meaning the secondary fermentation continues in the bottle, so there's a fair chance you'll have got a mouthful of sediment there. Bottle conditioned brews should be decanted into a glass before drinking.
The people of Kent call their beer shit and scream for a reason.
I agree
And very carefully.I used to drink Worthington white shield and had to insist that I pour it myself.
tip the bottle up first and mix it in, it adds flavour.
@@wullaballoo2642 Perhaps! But what flavour exactly? Back in the day when you could still smoke in pubs, emptying the ashtray into your pint would have had a similar effect.
Excellent video. Cheers...
I wonder if I will have WiFi at 3pm tomorrow 😅 or even a roof lmao 😅
True! Stay safe!
Newcastle Brown Ale Bottle 550ml @ ALDI,would like to mention this is nice to drink for some men, if you have any copper colouerd money then put them in a small glass then pour the Newcastle Brown Ale over them it should clean the coins.Myself I prefered Newcastle amber but they have stopped making it.
The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers dranked it,you could put an old penny into a glass and it would clean the coin as if it were new,If they went on exercise anywhere in UK or trips to west Germany they would make shure they had it with them.I was attached to them but I was a mechanic in the REME (Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers)and got to taste both versions,amber was better of the two..
Some years back, a friend of mine brought a bottle of Brewdog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin to Hogmany.
I don't know what the hell it actually is, but at 39% abv, it sure as shit was nasty.
Wow!!
Brewdog are an abusive employer and pub owner.
It's freeze distilled beer. It only remains a beer as a technicality but it should be experienced once - and only once. Alanna, please do so. I'd love to see your reaction.
Don't think I have ever had anything from brewdog that I liked.
It's impossible to get 39% from fermentation. It must have spirits added or be distilled in some way.
You mentioned you wanted to visit The Peak District. I highly recommend it. Buxton, Matlock and Bakewell are great places together but also Wetton Mill and the Manifold Valley are also very beautiful. And you can also see Thor’s Cave and the Blue John Mines. Well worth a visit.
I drink a lot of varied beers, but I stick clear of the super-strong beer because, well, it's just not pleasant. There's a reason why most beer isn't this strong... Worst I've had was something called 'Russian Imperial Stoat' at a CAMRA festival some years ago - which was 9%. It was foul. But a stout with banana flavouring at 11.4%? Oh dear god.
Would love to try a Russian imperial stout
Years and years ago, somebody gave me a can of Carlsberg Special Brew. Don't remember exactly the percentage, but 10 or 11-ish. It's basically a lager, but with that high an alcohol content, it tasted like somebody had put some moonshine into it... Absolutely disgusting(!). It was even worse than their Elephant Beer, which is infamous.
@@Innerspace100 "Tramp juice"
@@oscarosullivan4513 Not stout. Stouts are nice. This was Russian Imperial Stoat. From Wessex Brewery. Not a fan. Glad I only had a half.
@@DaveF. I would try it anyway
A truly heroic video. You love Yorkshire tea too. Are you sure you're not British ? Anyway Timothy Taylors Dark is another fine dark ale. The Old Bridge inn at Ripponden puts that on if you want add to your list of really old pubs.
IPA = India Pale Ale. The name originated in the days of the British Raj as the beer needed to be able to be transportable in unrefrigerated ships and survive the very long sea journey from the UK to the sub-continent.
In terms of snacks, you're already winning. Anticipating a really good seventeen minutes ahead...
🥳
The last scene of this video:
A hand reaches up from beneath the table, accompanied by a ladylike burp and a giggle.
"The next beer is something... something or other. It has a nancohol content of who the *** cares. Does it taste good? Who cares. I give this one - whatever it is - 99 out of ten green bottles, standing on the wall, 9 green froggies hanging on the door, 6 blue nanas... zzzzzz"
Ale is beer, lager is beer, IPA is beer stout is beer they're all just different types of beer, and I love that pleased to meet you bit
Best beer ever ( in my opinion ) Northern Monk Death Star 2, 12.2 %. Pore it into a glass slowly and the head is caramel brown. Absolutely delicious. Was sold in Tesco's two years ago but they stopped selling it. I contacted the brewery and they said they had one crate left but at £6 a can it was too expensive for me.
It's interesting that you went for the strong ABV right from the off. Not a great way to decide whether or not you will enjoy an IPA for example as you might well enjoy one with a lower alcohol content. That said, I am so glad you did, because it was so inevitable how this video was going to go, right from your Kentish start, Lol.
I'm Kentish by the way and I was happy somehow that you loved your opener to the brahms and list.
Hops make a beer bitter, floral and fruity. They also make the beer more resistant to going off. When we brewed beer to send to the brits in India, we double hopped the beer so it would last for the journey. Hence: India Pale Ale. That intense floral bitterness is love or hate. Personally I love it, my partner really does not!
IPA IS INDIA PALE ALE It was originally brewed for export to the troops who where serving in India because it didn't go off on its long journey by ship back in the day
IPA is Indian Pale ale, they all tend to be on the bitter side. Strong ales are usually on the fuller fruiter flavour.
Allright gal...you nailed it on the 1698 beer... respect !
everytime Alanna says "i'm a canadian", i hear "hi i'm Alanna , i'm a comedian", need to dewax my ears i think
Loved the "I forgot how much I don't like these" immediately followed by another scratching. Class.
😂
Is that the Tesco chilli nuts? Oh yes! drink from the bottle - best way to go
“One might say complex”, you are the best!
Mr President was great in a bottle, I must try the can
Thanks for watching!!
Ipa means India pale ale ,a saying dating from when brewers exported their products over to India in the days of British rule of India. IPA was the label attached to the beers that would travel to India . Most beers do not travel any distance, that is why most beers are called local ales.
Hi - give them beers a chance and put them in a glass! As you like cider you'll probably like some craft beer IPAs,. If you like sharper ciders try Citra by Oakham Ales (in a bottle) - Grapefruit/lemon flavours instead of apple but good stuff. If you like juicier gentler ciders try Faith by Northern Monk - Larger Tescos do cans of it - summer in a glass.
Alanna, good luck on your journey of discovery of the many wonderful and, at times, weird brews produced by the brewery's of the United Kingdom, there are so many wonderful beers and ales to try. Good luck and happy hunting.
ALANNA, AND FELLOW BEER SWIGGERS,HERE,S A RECIPE FOR A NEW GREAT BEER I DRINK 35%McEWANS CHAMPION THEN 65% NEWCASTLE BROWN INTO A PINT GLASS.
YOU HEARD IT HERE 1ST.TROOPS ,BEAUTIFUL PINT COLD❤
Or you could try blending Morland Old Speckled hen (5%ABV) with their oak aged Old 5X (12%ABV.) Get it in the right proportions and you'll have a deliciously rich malty brew at 6.5%ABV or.... you could just buy it as bottles of 'Old Crafty Hen'. Beats any Scottish beer (especially McEwans) and most Geordie beers (even 'DOG') into a cocked hat!
Marstons "Old Empire IPA" was the beer that was exported out to the Indian Army by sailing ships.
Volume 5.7. BEST BITTER I HAVE EVER TASTED. Derbyshire water.
I used to buy that one at Tesco's but they stopped selling it. 🙁
Marston's made a huge mistake when they changed the label. Every drinker knew the white label with blue lettering and Marston's replaced it with a NONDESCIPT purple label; and elephant outline. OLD EMPIRE was lost. Marstons lost us buyers too. The best beer disappeared quickly!!!!
Great video Allana, loved it to bits!! Your insert promoting Patreon was obviously filmed after tasting all the beers - somehow it showed!! It was the McEwens that did it i think, thats the tipping point!
Thanks so much for watching!
Saw vocation & thought ooo boy you may end up horizontal rather than perpendicular 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Generally beers are going to taste much better out of a bottle than a tin. Tinned stuff gets a tinny flavour, bottled beer keeps that lovely delicious fresh flavour. I know of a better type of coated nut than Tesco's ones though, they taste like tinned beer when you've tried the ones I mean, which are like bottled beer :)
I've always said that beer tastes better out a bottle. My friends disagree. I'm glad that found somebody else that thinks the same as myself.😄👍👍
yup
Marvelous! I prefer this to your 'tastes like beer' beer review. For beer drinkers that was a bit like watching Telly Savalas reviewing hair curlers. Big thumbs up here though.
How about a 'Me singing ABBA songs after a couple of ciders' video. That ChickenTikka song they did was a good one. I used to hum it on the way from the pub to the takeaway.
Watch out when you see the words 'Bottled Conditioned', this means that fermentation continues after bottling and there WILL be sediment in it. Ideally let it stand for a day then pour it VERY carefully at eye level so you can stop before you get the sediment. Nobody likes their ale chewy.
Amazed you were eating pork scratchings! I once heard it described as, 'the only snack with hair'.
She might be a super taster. Explains why she likes the well balanced ales. Nothing like pork scratchings to cleanse the palate.
Please do a cheap high gravity lager beer tasting.
Vocation Brewery - “May Contain Sixpence” Christmas Pudding Strong Porter 12.5%. Delicious 👌
For a cider drinker you give a fantastic choice of a good beer, would have chosen the same two as the best. Try, Fullers 1845, Fullers Golden Pride and Sam Smiths Stingo ....would all be good to compare against your favourite Shepherd Neame 👍 Keep up the good work Johnny
