As if the fucktards that work there would know how to pour a pint of Guinness! Most of them can't even pour a pint of flat lager.6 -
Draught Erdinger.2

Their lager's fine. Not my favourite by any means, but I wouldn't sulk if I went in a pub and that was all they had.Henry Irving said:
Sure Meantime would go down well as a local firm and with beer connoisseurs but what about those that just want a decent lager? What is their lager, if any, like?HandG said:Surely the Meantime brewery should be involved? Their Anytime IPA is lovely.
IPA is a good idea
You can never please everyone, but Meantime do a satisfactory lager, a decent stout and a decent pale ale, as do plenty of other firms. Unrealistic to expect a pub standard experience in a football ground, but football clubs are gradually realising that they'll sell more beer (and food) if they have a 6 or 7 out of 10 offering than a 3 out of 10 offering. Haven't bought a pint in the ground for 15 years but I presume we're still stuck with Fosters and John Smiths, which is a 2/10 offering.
Need to improve the beer, the staffing and upgrade the concourses if they ever want to see my money again - pub beats a plastic glass surrounded by cold bare brick and concrete any day of the week for me.7 -

Sorry to put a damper but as long as it's served in plastic it will taste of plastic but if it wasn't

Incidentally, Meantime are owned by Asahi, so I guess we could have Asahi lager and Meantime ale and stout if we were going down that route. Meantime Lager is 6/10, Asahi is 8/10, in my humble opinion.1 -

Fair amount of bias from me, as I work for Meantime but in 5 years of experience selling London Lager I’ve yet to find another lager than crosses the spectrum better than it. It’s acceptable to craft beer drinkers, as it’s got genuine hop profile and picks up some esters on the German yeast, but at the same time it’s well liked by drinkers of bog standard lager as it has enough of the dry and crisp body (with a hit of malt flavours). I reckon it would go down a treat at The ValleyMrLargo said:

Sadly our Stout isn’t brewed anymore I should add, though I am always working on trying to get it back!9 -

Christ I'm jealous of you. I'd love to work for meantime. Genuinely my dream job aside from owning my own brewery.IdiotDrugs said:

If meantime then yakima red. Considering we play in red3

Very fair assessment of the lager mate. As a Guinness drinker primarily, the demise of your stout is terrible news though! If you ever get the gig at The Valley, you'll need to either get the stout back or include that Yakima Red stuff in the deal to have any chance of tempting me out of the pub!IdiotDrugs said:

Never count the Stout out, I’ve had it revived once before! And Yes to the Yakima. That’s my first choice beer and would love to see it in all its red glory at the valley!MrLargo said

Happy to take this off of here (if you're willing to respond) but I'm genuinely fascinated as to the change post the Asahi takeover, I've been on the brewery tour twice (pre and post visitor center) and love the brewery so much.IdiotDrugs said:

Forget 3 different types of beer, just have white Lightening cider, the Valley would be off it’s head in no time and ‘bouncing’ as our Lee likes to say.2

Crossbars charges £5.20 for a pint of Heineken.
I dread to think what they would charge for a premium lager.2 -

Wandle, Harveys and Otter. And no they are not the new club mascots.1

Yakima Red is also very tasty.0

Hofmeister is both a beer and a bear, there’s probably an ale out there called Bungle and an American craft ale called Ted. So, you might regret it when that’s your choice of half time drink in future.0 -
Super Bock - love it wish it was more widely available in UK, see it in Morrisons now and again
Oranjeboom - for nostalgic value, was the beer I spent my youth getting battered on
Leffe Blonde another lovely drop.0 -
