Many guys will not admit to it but they are often shocked when they see a girl drinking pint after pint of beer; thinking they'd go for flavoured-vodka drinks. Why have us girls got this stereotype? Why do I not fit into this stereotype of drinking flavoured vodka or alco-pops or whatever they are called. Many people drink flavoured drinks for one reason: cheap and perhaps tasty way to get drunk. I prefer to drink this beer in a casual manner in a social environment or during pub crawls; mainly for one reason; it is incredibly tasty and tangy as it hits my tongue, cooling down my throat as it goes down. I find flavoured vodka drinks incredibly watery and un-satisfying ...  Read the complete review

So there I am sitting on a park bench in Paris. Spring is in the air, daffodils have free reign on the horizon and the atmosphere has that lovely warm, friendly feel to it. In the background resides the monolithic Eiffel Tower. What’s a fella to do on a day like this? It seems that there are 3 options: (a) enjoy the day with the love of my life (b) share some time with my favourite pet giraffe or (c) discuss my literary shortcomings with the resident Community Guidester. Only problem is (a) I ain’t got one (don’t tell my wife),(b) the giraffe belongs to another writer and (c) the resident Community Guide is making a chocolate salad. So blow ...  Read the complete review

There's only one thing for it after the sort of evening that I've had. A nice cold, ice cold, wonderfully chilled tinny. Bugger me backwards with a wet lettuce, that's so BLOODY good. You see, I've just sat on the very edge of my seat all night watching a veritable feast of football, as Leeds just about snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against an extraordinary Troyes side in the UEFA Cup. Fingernails bitten down to the knuckle, this was the sort of match which gets a football a very good name indeed and it's left me with stomach in knots and nerves in shreds and really at the end of such an edgy evening, you gotta relax and in ...  Read the complete review

I do enjoy chilling with a pint ill admit that, 1664 has slowly but surely beaten back the competition to be my favourite pint. I had my first frosty pint at my local, with a very little head. It was poured out quite quickly and was sat in front of me looking very clean and tempting, as I tilted the glass towards my lips with all the expectations, and… Yes it was met the best tasting beer I’ve ever tasted, it took me from a bitter drinker to a cleaner pint. When throwing a party myself I always get in a case of two and put them in the chillier to serve. I can easily myself go through pint after pint of this when socialising and enjoy it till ...  Read the complete review

Kronenbourg 1664 has been brewed in France since, I forget when. Originally from Strasbourg it relocated in 1850 to Cronenbourg and thus earned its memorable name. It is the top selling beer in France but has failed to warm itself to us Brits. At 5% it is classed as a premium lager and is available on tap, in bottles or in cans. Dark golden in appearance, fizzy and with a strong fruity aroma it is a fairly enjoyable drink. I must admit that I have not had much experience drinking this as I don't rate it as highly as other premium lagers such as Stella or Grolsh. I have nasty memories of waking up with devils banging on anvils inside my head whilst my stomach ...  Read the complete review
