Britain at its best… and nostalgia corner 🙂

There are theatres and varied cuisine outside London. Anyway just sitting on the banks of Ulleswater watching the steamer pass by is enough for me or enjoying the Giants Causeway, the start of alternative list maybe.

It’s an illusion caused by alcohol - no-one really lives up there. :wink:

A very London Beer - none the worse for that but Hook Norton beers speak more easily of the countryside. Did Fullers do a winter warmer? An essential physic against the English winter.

Lidl has a selection of English beers from Wednesday in a 6 box set - normally it is very good selection of known beers.

Not a beer drinker myself… but my little brother reckoned that “feeling foul” was great stuff… that was a lifetime ago, at the Woolwich Tramshed…
Bringing back some wonderful memories…

I think it was Young’s that did Winter Warmer :beer::beer::beer:

I think you’re correct. Fullers do/did a range of porters, but I can’t remember a “winter warmer” and I was a regular at a Fullers pub for years we we lived in London.

They’re also doing a 12 box selection. I bought 2x12 and 1x6 last year. I’ll be on the doorstep on Wednesday :+1::beer::beer:

I used to drink Felinfoel in the 80s when I lived in mid west Wales. It was one of the best Welsh beers at that time. Haven’t tried it since then

Edit: It’s pronounced ‘Velin Voyl’.

Ha ha… some might well pronounce it like that… but back in the dark ages… it was definitely “feeling foul” as we joked about his hangovers… or perhaps that was just a local thing…

whatever… The Tramshed in the 60/70’s was a world apart… magical times.

Yes, the ‘feeling foul’ moniker was even used in Wales, by Welsh people ! It was an affectionate moniker with some truth in it :nauseated_face::face_vomiting:

I don’t see the 12x in the publicity - I hope they do the 12 as I prefer the beers.

Kind of funny to see these beers on here. Both Marston (Oxford) and Hookie (Hook Norton) are local to me.

I’m off to Lidl….

It doesn’t start until tomorrow, but I understand being first in line!

You saved me a wasted trip and probably from buying a load of unnecessary power tools.
