[Drinking] The Pub Debate - Weatherspoons

[sparkie]

I think Tim Martin’s a Brexit bell-end and I don’t go to his pubs but as I use electricity I’m a hypocrite. Right oh.

Yeah he is a bell end. He drove me out of drinking in his pubs years ago amongst other things, and my boycott is still in place. Lol.

So, essentially, you don’t mind what the views of the owners are (or you’d have to check before going into any pub) but you object to hearing his views. Always had problems with free speech?

Where have I indicated I have a problem with free speech? I'm not restricting his ability to spout bullshit am I?

I'm simply choosing based on his views which he spouts constantly not to frequent his pubs, as is my right to do as free speech is not freedom from any consequences.

What an absolute dogsh!t point you made lmao.

Delighted to see this thread bounced - it's perfect timing to advertise Wetherspoon's Beer Festival which starts this Wednesday.

The festival will run from Wednesday 9 October to Sunday 20 October inclusive.

The overseas brewers are from Japan, Canada, New Zealand and two from the USA.

The festival will include a number of beers not previously available at Wetherspoon.

Among the festival collection are vegan (also suitable for vegetarians) beers.

As well as featuring a range of different malt and hop varieties from around the world, there are also beers that include coffee and fruit in their ingredients.

The international beers are Red Racer Session (Central City Brewery, Canada), Dinner Ale (Townshend Brewery, New Zealand), Orihime Pale Ale (Ishii Brewing, Japan), Who Dat (Urban South Brewery, USA), All Dog Alert (Yazoo Brewing, USA).

I thought Worthingtons closed about 20 years ago? Now that’s what I call out of date!

Merged with Bass then bought by Molson Coors

Oh, I see. Irrelevant in the context of sober October though.

Molson, the Canadian one, is probably the most disgusting beer I’ve ever tasted.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

There is a spoons opening up near where I live. That means all the degenerates, cheapskates, students and alkies will migrate here leaving the decent pubs bell cheese free.

It's win win innit.

Worthingtons and Carling are to go to drinks in Wayals, say no more. Although we do have some great local brewers.

I'll admit that made me chuckle, HT.

But in truth, even just one day left would represent 24 long hours that are completely superfluous to my particular imbibing requirements.

@PILTDOWN MAN as someone in the beer industry, will you please, please shut HT down on his "Wetherspoons sell out-of-date beer" fantasy.

They can be criticised over so many things, but surely that is not one.
