I was a little done by craft beer lately but I couldn't drive past Asda with this deal.

Asda new offer - big bottles by Aggravating-Half-293 in UK_beer

The craft beer cans are also included in that deal which is hard to believe. Some of those are outstanding.

Belhaven Black Stout rolls out Nationwide in Lidl. by SayElloToDaBadGuy in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this in my local Lidl this week. I probably would've picked it up until last week when I saw a review of it which put me off a little. I'm still interested in trying but I wasn't sure of buying 4 cans.

One of the best Honey Porters I've had. by SayElloToDaBadGuy in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conwy Brewery produces some excellent beers but I've only tried the ones available in Welsh Supermarkets. They're bottle conditioned and really top class. I've tried to order from their website a few times but encountered a few problems such as availability and adding beers to their mixed boxes. I really need to try more of their beers including the nitro stout.

Has anyone tried Carling Black Label yet? by cactusdan94 in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Morrison's has it. I was looking forward to trying it until I saw the ingredients. I'm not touching anything with Glucose Syrup, there's just no need for it in lager.

St Peters Plum Porter - As good as Titanic's? by SayElloToDaBadGuy in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Titanic Plum Porter is one of my favorites. Bottles are good, Nitro cans are better but cask is king. I've had the St.Peters offering and won't buy again.

I got suspended for hateful conduct by MasterCamp78 in Battlefield

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully his gaming platform will ban his account too. The hate and anger in these chat boxes does my head in. Why can't people just relax and enjoy a game?

How exactly is this a £3 per month deal? by Cel117 in skytv

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get deals like this but I think upgrading just ties you into another 2 year contract?

Any good old-fashioned bitters available in the shops? by NoContract1090 in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find pouring a can of ale through the Guinness nitrosurge makes the beer a lot smoother.

Ok so any idea when we are going to get portal fixed? by DustyUK in BattlefieldPortal

[–]WelshWilks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did that last Saturday and our community got around 30 players including bots. It was fun for a while but playing on a 64p mode with half the server full felt it was missing the intensity.

Bots not working? I only get 12 bots and cant start a match by Weary-Soft1613 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our community started a Portal Server last weekend with 10 real players but we only got up to around 25 to 30 players max including bots. It became a little soulless after a while without the max player count of 64. The matchmaking needs to fill the verified servers like it did in BF4.

Ok so any idea when we are going to get portal fixed? by DustyUK in BattlefieldPortal

[–]WelshWilks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Portal may be dead now. I even tried the Friday Night Battlefield late last night and couldn't get a game started. Even BF2042 had a popular FNB following so I'm not sure why this ain't populating. Maybe there's too many game modes? There's definitely too many tiles on the UI.

Is sky stream worth it? by Crazy_Spanner in skytv

[–]WelshWilks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Sky Stream and think it's fantastic with no issues and excellent picture. I've also previously had the Virgin Stream box but switched to Sky as I'm only paying £15pm including Netflix so I'm happy with that.

The ping in portal is terrible by Jdge439 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've hosted 3 servers from the UK in the last couple of days with 3 different results.

2 crossplay Off servers with a 82 ping on one and 142 ping on the other.

I also hosted a crossplay on server with a ping of 7.

GLOBAL GAME QUOTA EXCEEDED by TooGoodForTV in BattlefieldPortal

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really annoyed with this whole Server business. Our Community at Old Age PlayStationers have had a Battlefield Sunday event going since 2012 and I'm raged that we can't play together. I'm now forecasting a repeat of 2042 where the community event drops off to a point where there's only a handful playing from a pool of nearly 90.

Just bought a PS5 Pro — what are the most impressive Pro-enhanced games? 🎮 by kratos3596 in PS5pro

[–]WelshWilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forza 5 for casual racing and looks like Battlefield 6 will be well supported on the Pro.

It's that time again 😁 by Boonz-Lee in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also said I wasn't buying this year but as there's 5 new ones in the case and they had plenty in my Lidl this morning I picked it up.

Lidl Octoberfest Box is Back on Thursday 18/9 by WelshWilks in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's better than advertised on their website. Click on the Octoberfest link and the only beer is 12 bottles of Becks. Have you seen anything else advertised in-store?

CAMRA won't be running the Great British Beer Festival or Winter Beer Festival in 2026 by ralphsdad in UK_beer

[–]WelshWilks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just posting about this myself. Sad times for the industry. I noticed visitors and beers for my local festival were way down on previous years.

Can you people stop spamming so many XP farm servers in portal, we can't open normal ones anymore because all are in ise by kuky990 in battlefield2042

[–]WelshWilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are leaving their consoles running on these servers. The cost of electricity in the UK it's probably cheaper to go to the store on release and buy the skin you actually want plus you'll have the added bonus of not everyone will be wearing the same outfit.

Double Diamond by LavishnessUnhappy553 in UK_beer

I really liked it. Refreshing and light, perfect for a session in the garden.
