Sharp87 Â Â 10 #16 Posted December 9, 2010 theres nothing wrong with carling. it might not be the tastiest of drinks, but it is by no means offensive, something that cannot be said for ALL real ales. i am a real ale drinker, but not a beer snob - carling serves a purpose.

LitleMermaid   10 #18 Posted December 9, 2010 And I agree with you regarding the offensiveness of some real ales-I once had a "chocolate" one which, being a lass, thought it was my dream-my two major food groups in one glass- -but it was, to put it mildly, bloody vile.

It's captalism selling us bloody rubbish again. This cack was foisted on us by the big breweries in the 1970s and it has been pumped up into its 'market' position by the massive bucks spent on advertising and the driving down of costs of production and the monopolistic way the drinks companies sell it.  'The public gets what the public want', but that's because mostly they are thick. It's very sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's very sad.  a lot of real ale drinkers have this horrible snobbish attitude and it is what prevents CAMRA from actually making any impact. this is coming from a CAMRA member too.  market gets what the market wants. real ale drinkers like yourself get high and mighty and refuse to believe that it is in fact possible people enjoy drinking lagers and not real ales. its cringeworthy and embarrassing to be honest.
