It was scorching outside 36c and we were parched, we ordered Peroni's, utter sheer bliss, so much so we had another then we had some food and another Peroni to wash the food down. Total heaven. How could I compare ice cold Peroni with Tennents Lager I couldn't, Tennents fecking lager piss water. Jugs of peroni in campo di fiori.

Der Kaiser Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Best thing is take 20 quid into a decent supermarket and buy a nice varied selection of IPA'S etc. Get some fruity stuff in cans, few dark beers and see what floats your boat. Get a few William Bros and Harviestoun beers in there. Or better yet get down to the Stewarts Brewery in Loanhead, do the tour then have a few tastes (not sure on how it is In CovidWorld mind). I recently enjoyed a wee Schiehallion and a Disco Forklift Truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piazza del Popolo had a big screen up, but it looked like there was hardly anybody there, Campo de' Fiori looked way busier.

Not been in a 'spoons in years and don't intend to drink in one again (unless there's no alternative and I REALLY want a beer! ), but any Czech lager they've got would be worth a go. Similarly, any German beer other than Becks. As for real ales, do what I do if there's a beer on anywhere that I'm not 100% sure about: ask for a taste. If Belhaven Best is your bag, then you could try an English bitter, a Scottish 80%, or a Golden Ale for a lighter-coloured beer. Lots of nice beer out there and even 'spoons might not feck them up too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - tend to do that too unless there's the really obvious choice of a beer that I love. When I used to drink regularly in Thomson's in Morrison St., Lee (the manager) would often have poured a sample for me of any dark beer they had on that day before I'd even reached the bar*! Now that's what I call service.
