Quality of the Fosters in Community Hall
« on: October 15, 2018, 01:12:08 PM »

Tasted really really bad on Saturday even allowing for a plastic cup.....like it had been syphoned through a toilet...

Hopefully this is a sign that the club are at last focussing on the footballing side rather than the retirement project but it would be good if we could multi task and get everything spot on....

Oh and I'm speaking for a friend...wouldn't catch me drinking that pi55 before I get called wuss and we go all off topic.....

The thwaites was fine fyi

Always a shame when I only recognise a handful of people in the bar afterwards...

There is no such thing as a decent pint of Foster's. You'll be looking for a tasty McDonald's next ffs.

It’s all a matter of opinion. I’m a lager drinker and it’s never been the best quality in the CSH.

It's never been a great pint at the club, even before the Sports Hall was built, the Fosters was often flat in the Noel White Suite. I suspect it may be because we don't pull many through throughout the week? So the barrel sits in between match days. I've no idea though. I opt for the cider.

Would be good for the club to modernise and have a 'trendier' lager on tap - perhaps even just Amstel - as well as some sort of IPA.

Fosters and San Miguel is a rubbish choice in this day and age.

Then again, if the problem lies with the kegs not being pulled through the week, it's probably not worth having anything too nice.

The Wainwrights is consistently good, there again I don't like lager unless I have no choice.  I only drink lager on the continent, they don't sell bitter as it is mainly unique to the UK.

Having said that, cask ale seems to only nowadays be drunk by the older generation such as myself. My kids prefer lager or Vodka shots etc. Cask ale is what I call proper beer. A lot of Manchester's bars do not sell cask ale; I always take great delight in asking for it, and then querying why they don't sell it.

When we had Kronenbourg 1664 in the Noel White suite, I used to find it was an acceptable alternative to my preferred real ale. I've never forgiven Watney's for stopping production of Webster's and using Halifax, a brewery with a natural spring, to produce Fosters. I don't mind decent lager, but Fosters doesn't meet the description (buy a proper "tinnie" in Earls Court and you'll see the massive difference between the real thing and the gnat's pee produced for our market).

Even so, I'll accept it's better than the chemicals in a glass that's marketed as Carling !

Sounds like they don't clean the beer lines properly. On the subject of Wainwright's, why doesn't the club sell a beer from one of the huge number of Greater Manchester breweries rather than one brewed in Wolverhampton? Ashton United have their own cask beer. I'm sure that someone would be willing to brew or re-badge a beer for Alty.

First sentence could not be more factually correct. The same can be said for most of the nitro-keg mass produced tasteless lagers (purposely served too cold of course so there no chance of picking up any taste) available in the UK. There are are very few quality draft lagers available - anything good seems to come in a bottle.
In my youth, if you asked for a lager in a pub or a miners welfare, the landlord almost certainly asked you if you wanted it in a "ladies glass"  ;)

I assumed, perhaps wrongly that the CSH sells Wainwrights because the club has done some kind of sponsorship deal with Bank's. If you think back to the Hednesford game and the beer festival half the beers on sale were from the Banks portfolio.

On our travels I've noticed other clubs are more imaginative in their beer selection and it often sells out whilst the game is on.

By the way bitter is very last decade. Even  the stuff the club sells is called Wainwright Golden Ale.
