Diageo to increase the price of a pint again

Oh man, I had a dream was drinking creamy pints with my brothers last night
And they were awesome
But also free, as they were imaginary

 

[seanc]

Since everything is expensive anyway, I've found that just buying fancy takeaway when out and about is better than buying slightly less expensive shit food. At least I have that option around here.
I don't really have the option to eat well at home because I don't know what I'm doing one day to the next, and fresh food ends up in the bin. And a packed lunch is undoable. Maybe if I had wife and kids I could take leftovers or a Big Salad, but it just doesn't work for me.

It wouldn't be unusual in job A to spend 30% of my wages on food. Gross wages. Job A is a shit job.
This sorta ties into "free stuff" at work.

I am similar, but I lean heavy on batch cooking and the freezer

I had a weird thought there when it came to dream pints..

some nights I dream I'm eating pizza hut pizza (not sure if PH exists any more), but it's associated with a real feeling of nausea, and I wake up with a foul taste in my mouth.

It's probably a case I have a weird taste in my mouth because I've fallen asleep with my gob open or something - rather than some psychosomatic carryon.

do androids dream of electric pints...

Scientists turn to AI to make beer taste even better

Researchers in Belgium use artificial intelligence to improve taste, but say the skill of the brewer remains vital

One of the absolute best things that have happened is how science has made NA beer taste the same as regular
I can stay abstinent and still have a few bottles or pints if I ever the mood might take me
Once a month at best

I've been drinking non alcoholic beer since Christmas and it's fine but for me its not half as nice as regular beer. It's not as delicious.

All that stuff sucked
Kaliber, Clausthaler, all of it

Something happened in the last 5 years that's a game changer
Dunno what it is
But Heineken 0 is decent
Guinness 0 is decent

Great time to be alive

Before they basically just boiled the alcohol off, which killed all flavour as well.

Lately some hipsters experimented with different methods, which are more expensive. And so Diageo and Heino have latched onto it.

It's a quick Google search, and quite interesting.

There are a lot of 0% converts in my local. It causes confusion at happy hour. But they all seem happier and healthier for it.
Also interesting, to me anyway, is at work they can advertise beer X, so long as it's 0%, before the watershed for advertising alcohol, and even advertise it in very abstinent Muslim markets. But to me, they're still advertising a brand which is mostly an alcohol brand. It's an interesting conundrum, I have no fixed opinion.


Edit: "converts", not "coverts".

Similar sneakiness in the US where you cannot advertise liquor (spirits) on TV but Smirnoff et al just made spritzers and whatnot, which were techinically not liquor, but got the brand and logo in front of our dumb faces

 

[seanc]

Exactly
For the second time today.

Isn't that exactly why Guinness etc suddenly have zero beeros? I don't mind. The Guinness zero is good - they actually have it on proper draught in my local

Kind of, but DMP said 0% beers used to be rubbish, but are now acceptable. Which is apparently true, we agree.

I have unformed thoughts about shoving a brand in kids faces from young age.
Would I have ever tried a Budweiser had I not seen those cool American horses on TV in the 80's?
And also, they're advertising it in places where, if you actually drink or sell alcohol, you might end up in a gulag.

The tesco 0% thing in the Blue can is so far my favourite 0% drinking with people option.

I find it irksome that a sparkling water (330ml) in a pub is typically €3.70 - €4.00.

Then I try to conceive how much I've wasted in pubs these past 25 years and it shakes me to my core.

 

[ann post]

Nah fuck that - whatever your social/hobby pastime is, if you are working you need to put something into that, otherwise you are gonna starve your personality day by day

Aldi have a nice 0% ipa in a bottle - roadworks or something
