I really didn't like Fraziskaner wheat beer alcohol free - smelt like sweaty socks and nothing the real thing
. 
It is a really nice ale, always nice to see it on at the bar. I've never forgiven thornbridge for stopping the 500ml bottles though, refuse to buy the 330ml out of principle (ok spite really).
They do 6 litre mini kegs. But unsurprisingly sell out quickly.
It really is a perfect storm for pubs. I sympathise with landpeople, but a combination of home drinking during lockdowns, rising prices and the cost of living crisis really has highlighted to me how little value the majority of places add to their products despite the high premium they are adding.Cost of living: Pub halves beer and cider choice to survive

Absolutely. I mean I love my ales - the real value of being a cask conditioned pint, but getting charged around £7/8 a pint at my local and I am like no thanks. Food isn't that great either; mostly stuff I can cook myself or get a McDonald's (even their price of a meal is going up).
At least with real ale, pubs are offering a point of difference over what you can drink at home. I'm following a low-carb diet at the moment, so a G+T is my drink of choice and I'm finding the price difference for a comparable product to what I can make at home for less than £1 is putting me off going to places that I don't know offer sensible prices. I manage the bar of a local social club, so I know that I make a very healthy 67% GPM selling a measure of gin for £1.30. At what point do you have to think that people who can't make money with these kinds of margins either aren't very good at what they're doing or that there isn't a market for the service that they're providing?
The closest are bottle conditioned ales I drink like Sierra Nevada pale ale and Proper Job; otherwise got a nice Weihenstephaner Hefeweisse which is waiting for me to be drunken.
.Keep an eye out for Big Job DIPA, my local craft beer shop were advertising it on Facebook recently. They didn't specifically say it's bottle conditioned, but I guess it would be as the regular stuff is.The closest are bottle conditioned ales I drink like Sierra Nevada pale ale and Proper Job; otherwise got a nice Weihenstephaner Hefeweisse which is waiting for me to be drunken.
Obviously why I pay €7+ for a pint of it. Importing from outside of Europe!Italian label maybe but the beer's British brewed
The global brewing giants highlight a brand's nationality but does it matter when they brew it overseas?www.bbc.co.uk
Ah so the Birra Moretti I bought for £1 a bottle was brewed in Manchester. Still, a nice cold one still goes down like juice even in this cold weather.

Definitely feel like part of it because when people see a 10 or 15 drink rule, they often tend to drink all at once rather than spreading it out evenly over the week, which is even worse.What's behind Canada's drastic new alcohol guidance

4 units a week recommended by Canadian health authorities. Compared to UK's 14.
True. From someone who is quite sensitive to alcohol anyway I have reduced by consumption to half of the UK's recommended amount per week. But I wonder how many people here know what a unit even is and even if they did would they even follow it anyway, as you said. I think most people know too much alcohol is not good for them but knowing their limit is different for each of us.
Less than two pints of Guinness a week if I'm not mistaken? It's 17 units here.What's behind Canada's drastic new alcohol guidance
