Any failure to respond due to falling off balcony. Chuffed at MW attendance. Hoping London do it tomorrow. I don’t know why the RFL/SL don’t try for a Guinness sponsorship. Hop House has 13 on the top and the label. A perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELBOWSEYE Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 As a wire fan at the match the stand ran out of alcohol, which tell you the way general Warrington fans behave,but as per usual they ruin the atmosphere for normal fans especially families with young kids who have put up with drunken foul mouthed and now smoke bomb carrying idiots.

deluded pom? Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Smoke bombs aside, they even managed to run out of beer by half time when I went to the 4N final at Anfield. They certainly don’t understand their customer requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxmanc Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 I'll have to see whether I have any driving duties. If not, there's a bottle of Robinson's Pale Ale (4.5%) and Chimay Red / Brown Ale (7% ) in the fridge. I've also just espied a bottle of Glenfairn Islay Single Malt Whisky, more of a quality standby for the evening in the event of an empty fridge.

Also LIDL do a lovely plum porter called Purple Panther which I think is from the ‘Hatherway’ (sp) breweries or something? It’s a shame the Flying Saucer brand of bars from the US can’t open up a chain in the UK as they have a great system where you can order 6 beers in small rocks glasses on a tray so you can try each one without over-indulging. They have about 100 beers I think and you get your name on a plaque on the wall when you’ve tried every beer they sell (obviously not all on one night). Oh, it’s also like the law or something to try them all with Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese sauce Unless it's changed recently, Riggwelter is 5.7% in a bottle and 5.9% out of the hand pump.

Sam Smiths Extra Stout is a fantastic drink for a couple of quid. In fact when it is warmed up(always served too cold) it is worth very much more. Even Spouse likes it which is inconceivable.

Presently enjoying a home made Old Fashioned. Best beer ever IMO is from a small brewery near Darlington (Old Village Brewery) called Raby Ale. Never seen it outside the area but all the better for that (my partners from Darlo so we’re up there a few times a year. Never understood why RL has no presence in the town BTW).

Nice and I do recommend the Lidl brews in general.
