That there London

Some of Manchesters finest spoons are bad enough, imagine the cocker-knees ones.

I'll drink anywhere.

I'm (honestly) not a beer snob but Cruzcampo is pretty crap in this country. I had some in Spain earlier this year, thought it was decent so was more than happy to get some from Tesco's.

Problem is that it's different to the the Spanish one. So it doesn't taste the same nor do you get the enjoyable buzz that you get from the marginally stronger Spanish version.

Off topic but do we have a beer thread?

Day before last years I went for a wander down the Southbank side of London town (hoping I'd bump into a Tory MP to punt into the Thames) and stopped off at some pub half way up The Founders it was called, the current Mrs Lowtower wanted a wine - £9!

Mine just whines, I don’t charge her for it

As @staffsblue says the Craft Beer Co places are good, and there is decent beer around a fiver to be had outside the worst of the chains (Nicholson's the main culprit). Sam Smiths put their London prices up sharply a few years back, same time as a pint of OBB went from £2 to £3 in one go !

I had a gorgeous pint of Manchester's finest (Marble Stout) for £4.90 at the Euston Tap not six months ago.

A PINT UNDER A FIVER IN THE EUSTON TAP

November 2023. Euston. Walking fast in London is an art form. Somehow I’d knocked that 42 minutes to reach the station down to 26 by the time the Euston Tap hove into view, and while other op…

I love the Euston Tap, especially when it's not raining and you can sit outside. However, the spiral staircase up to the loos requires concentration once you've had a few!
The Doric Arch (Fullers pub) outside Euston is also reasonable, and offers CAMRA membership discount. Just don't go to the sister pub "The Signal Box" within the station unless you enjoy being ripped off.
