    How did it taste? Some plonker bought me a Duval on my stag do and it was vile. Made me sick. Stupidly strong beer, what's the point?

    Good on him. Bud Light and Coors Light are cracking lagers from a bottle.

    50 years ago Tetleys was good, sadly it declined when European accountants took over its running. On the plus side, we now have many good micros and continuing on the Viking theme, a York micro has excellent brews called Viking and Battleaxe.

    We are so far behind the times with our beer range. Tottenham Hotspur already have their own microbrewery and Tranmere Rovers are planning to follow suit, to add to their existing range of real and craft beers.

    On my last visits to Coventry City and Oxford United real ales were available even in the away end and many other clubs have expanded their offerings way beyond a basic lager and cider.

    Like you, I've been going to Valley Parade for many years without drinking at the ground and I will continue to have my pre-match drinks in some of the excellent venues in the City.

    Reminds me of the queens in daisy Hill. Electric webbo but we didn't know better and any raids were pre-empted on the bush telegraph as they always raided the Kings in Heaton first.

    Errr. Nobody can remember what Skol tasted like,,,,,,,,,,,because it had no taste. Let us face it lager is lager, cheap to make, tasteless wish wash, American or Czech, it's soda pop, fizzy southern slop, of which fancy marketing for the trendy bar brigade is its only appeal (Vikings, Prague city square, for eg), and only good for one thing. Under 18s buy it to look cooler than Dad, over 18's should know better.

    On a more positive note, the local independent real ale industry is tasting and looking good.

    Alan Hay (Head brewer at Timothy Taylor at the time) told me Tetley was made from the dishwater of Leeds. He was right its naff. Adams will be a great manager for City. Can't wait for the first signings of a younger more mobile team.

    Was still good 35 years ago, then went knack. If you want mass produced bitter as a staple rather than craft ale where you are drinking different each round then boltmeker is just about the best

    Agree, as a proud bitter man, a drop of continental lager in the sun goes down a treat. Especially draught estrella

    You mean the Waggon & Horses opposite The High Flyer, spent a lot of my lunch time in there during my apprenticeship days.
