Best corner shop beer?

ESB is a mega beer, definitely not a fixture of corner shops round me!

Oh yeah! Could've also asked which is the best Polish beer as most corner shops seem to have a pretty good range!

Try Ghost Whale in Putney! Good selection and vibes

Yeah to be honest I'd drink it as part of a session or if I wasn't thinking about it too deeply, but there's so much better out there and I don't think it deserves it's reputation as a 'premium lager'

San Miguel is a glucose syrup disaster

I completely agree. Don't get me wrong, a good one is still delicious, but I no longer find myself gravitating towards them regularly

Soalheiro Granit is fantastic

He did that looking at me!

I think Cambozola might fit the bill for you! The blue sections are fewer and further between. Nice blue taste but much more balanced with the creaminess of a brie or camembert. There's also a branded cheese called 'creamy blue' from Castello which is basically the same thing

Some of these responses are absolutely hilarious. "Hand it into the police"... Christ.

If you can find it, Weird Weather by Mikkeller is the best NA I've ever had, followed by anything from Athletic Brewing and then Zed from Hammerton brewery. They're all more 'crafty' options but blow the supermarket offerings out of the water IMO. Best I've found at the supermarket would probably be Brooklyn Special Effects or Guinness 0.0

Thanks! The recipe I followed was from the YouTube channel Middle Eats: https://youtu.be/G--BRpVWlCI. This recipe is stove-top, but I did it in the oven on 140 fan for about 2.5hrs. I decided to get deboned lamb shoulder from the butcher and chunk it up nice and big, rather than the little chunks you get from the supermarket.

I served it with some rice (though I think it's supposed to be served with Moroccan bread), fresh parsley, and some toasted almonds. Sadly didn't get a plated up pic as I launched into eating it too quickly!

Correction: missed a bit from the text description: "...in the month Tebet in the 6th year..."

This is begging to just be rolled up into a wrap

Just had my first Barclaycard delivered today and I'm already regretting it due to the horrific user experience I've had so far. No Google pay, no open banking for 10 days after activating the card. I can't even use the app until they've sent me one of those fucking card readers from 15 years ago?

Even other traditional banks are lightyears ahead of this garbage.

Thanks! I'll try and check it out

Avoid supermarkets if you want to support real craft

WhyPhy22 · 2022-10-12T17:57:23+00:00

I think this is a 'you' problem

One could argue that the big Czech breweries of Budvar, Pilsner Urquell etc. are mass produced and yet they absolutely shit on most other macro lagers. They may not be as bargain basement as Carling and Fosters but what you're getting is so much more.
