Flash@TMB Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 One day I'll remember the fantastic year they had Banana Bread beer on tap at the Cambridge Folk Festival.This stuff sounds interesting. I've seen banana fruit beer and can get hold of that but doubt it's the same stuff. Can you locate a link for this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well my number 1 drink is Red wine but pubs dont do decent reds on tap so its usually the inferior GuinessThinking about this more... yes we could stock a quality wine specially for you under-the-counter. BUT you'd have to finish every bottle you opened - or take the remains away as a carry out.We used to apply inert gas to open wine bottles to prevent the wine spoiling once opened. The problem is that we'd usually forget and the wine would go off overnight... hence why we started stocking the smaller bottles. But these day's were a much slicker outfit and could add "apply gas to wine" to our end of night check list. There was also less call for wine in those days but the clientele have changed. Have you tried out little bottles BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 bottle of corona (w/lime of course, and preferably cold)jack daniels and cokered winenever all three though, that's just asking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you locate a link for this stuff?Check with Dave if it's the same brewery that makes the bottled stuff he's recommending' date=' but it was Charles Wells that supplied the beer for Cambridge. Follow the link for ales on the front page, the tab for Banana Bread beer is then on the left hand side.Sadly, BBC Radio 2 now sponsor Cambridge, not Charles Wells, so the exclusivity of the beer tent has declined. Still, they do still have the Guiness tent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Waters pretty good for that aswell I hate how you get treated in a bar when you order a water though....I always have to lie "Yeah I'm driving", thankfully they don't ask to see my license Although worse is when they give you a tiny bottle of pish tasting water and say "2.50 please..."

Hardcore Mel Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well my number 1 drink is Red wine but pubs dont do decent reds on tap so its usually the inferior Guinessmy mum and i got lucky a couple weeks ago when the bassment opened a nice bottle of pinot noir for us. i've found drinking diet coke instead of coke when you're drinking spirits (jack) you feel less bloated and your teeth feel less likely to decay. there's 140 cals in a can of man coke as opposed to zero in diet. presuming you don't mind a high aspartame intake. or i start drinking a nice wine in my flat before i head out and by the time i'm pissed i don't mind the shit they serve in nightclubs. only problem is if the club doesn't have any red and i decide to switch to whisky and i end up passed out.
