thursday 1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 "An increase in VAT to 20pc would cost UK beer drinkers £300m a year, the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) has warned. " If I was in England right now, I'd be suppig up before the impending misery the added VAT will bring. And then when it does come, I'd sup up some more to cheer myself up.

Experts have warned that the potential impact of a VAT rise could leave some ordinary families £3,000 a year worse off." What???? What kinda family would that be? Scottish?

thursday 1 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Sapporo beer does have this special place in people's mouths. In their beer museum, there's a huge ghengis khan hall. Waft the smell as you go past and you'll be in there for some. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Can someone clear this up for me? In Japan, does ghengis khan roughly translate into English as "rank, unusable lamb meat leftovers"? Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ahhh, yes. I also have one or two bad experiences with 'ghengis khan'. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Had an American IPA taste off the other day. The Firestone Walker and the Deschutes had more malty sweetness to them and the same massive hoppyness that all the beers had. The Epic and the Dogfish head were dryer. My one was supposed to be a copy of the dogfish head. It had the exact same hop flavour but mine was the dryer and thinner. Next time I will make it will be a bit bigger in the malt department. To me, the Dogfish Head 60minute IPA was the best of a great bunch. Link to post Share on other sites
