Good point, flatliners.

That phrase is very over-used and unoriginal, and apart from that, how do they KNOW they are the best? If you say you're the best and someone asks you to PROVE it, you're stuffed!

That's why a certain lager had to say they were PROBABLY the best lager in the world.

You should work on the directory listings admin then and read the absolute rubbish that some people put in their listings!

Even though they probably weren't... and were fairly bland, come to that! :beer1:

I'm not a lager man myself, Darren, so I'll take your word on that one!

Anyone or anything that claims to be "number one" when unsubstantiatable. And on what basis are you number one? Most website hits? Most gigs? Most hate-mail?

Nor am I now, but I was a fair few years ago and take my word for it, it was bland. Stella Artois - that's a proper lager, if I did have to drink one.

I always thought Stella Artois was a beer, it's certainly stronger than your average lager! I think all lager is bland, if you're comparing it to beers and ales. Doesn't stop me drinking the old Tennents though! :beerchug:

Stella is a beer. It is catergorised as a premium lager at 5.2 abv.

Beer is catergorised into lager, bitter, stout and perry. And yes, generally you're right, lager is generally bland, epecially compared to keg and cask ales.

I did a few exams years ago, hence my bit of knowledge. ;)

Wow, now if I remember all that, it will sort out a few debates down the rub-a-dub-dub! :D

More of a Kronenbourg man myself if drinking beer/larger or if it's bitter/ale got to be something like a pint of London Pride, E.S.B (extra special Bitter) or Brew XI

And remember, cask = real ale (conditioned on the premises at which it is to be served, normally by placing the barrel on chocks or using a system of syphons, to let the finings clear or settle to the bottom of the barrel) and keg = conditioned in the barrel at the brewery and can be served straight away.

Now repeat that back to me...:D :beer1:

Very true and giving the barrel a tap or 2 or kick could result it it having to settle for 24 hours again! Used to hate changing Casks back in the days when i was a barman... Loved having to taste them to make sure it was ready to serve though... :cool:

Only when it's the only tipple on offer ;) :D

Perry isn't a beer type, it's a cider type (different brewing process)

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the last 9 posts have been off topic by about 500 miles?

The thread started with flatliners asking about discos using phrases & making claims that were untrue & they couldn't prove...

...and turned into a discussion about alcohol!

Hmmmm...all I did was to mention that a certain lager had to say they were PROBABLY the best lager in the world...to highlight the fact that you can't make claims which can't be proved...which is EXACTLY what the thread was all about!

I hardly think my post #3 can be accused of taking the thread off topic!

Thinking about that song, the lyrics don't really make any sense.

If they never call at all, how can he say he loves it when they call?

If it's never happened, how would he know?
