pie-eater 207 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 So. Here I am in Heathrow, it's 4:15pm, waiting for my connection up to Manchester. Should be back 'home' well before 8pm. Got a fine seat on the Upper Deck of the plane with tons of room, very nice indeed. Time went fast so not feeling tired at all. Got to say going back to an economy seat will be very difficult (but very possibly necessary!) Champagne - 3 glasses Beer - 3 Pies - none!! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Ah lovely Manchester evening, 17 degrees in Wigan this evening. So cool. Almost chilly. 2 pints of Boddies later and about to sit down and have one or two with my dad. Link to post Share on other sites

Are any beers better from the bottle? Dont think so, although average largers (such as Becks, Bud) are always better from the bottle than can or daught..... but then that is like saying dog-poo taste better with some seasoning....its still sh!t Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 draught is much better than bottles!!! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Liking the Doombar down here. Had some Waggle Dance last night. Ahhh, all very relaxing. Link to post Share on other sites
Schneebored 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Ah Doombar. Good beer. It appears to have made its way to Perth. I dont think it travels well. Old fav was Marston's Firestoker. Had a very more-ish savoury taste to it. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Some boutique beers you cannot get on draft. Very limited production hence the bottles. Link to post Share on other sites
