It definitely doesn't taste like Lager (much nicer), but it does say Lager on the label for some reason. $:-\$

Sounds nice. Not sure I'd have drunk TheBoy's pee to go, but not knocking it.

Nothing wrong with a bit of watersports Kevin.

Forgot to add, if you need a last minute substitute (or two) , I will be happy to oblige. Otherwise I will be watching it on Tv with my brother in Yorkshire.

Already have a volunteer substitute ready and willing to hop on a plane from Belfast.

Oh!

Well the offer is still there of reserve back up substitute.

Look forward to comparing notes on Monday if I am not called up.........

I don't drink alcohol so it doesn't worry me what they taste like...

Some of the craft beers at £1.29 0.5l are very good at Aldi, a couple of my favourites are "Wild Bill's IPA" at 5% and "Old Empire IPA" at 5.7%, both have a very hoppy flavour.

While the weather is hot I don't mind drinking, ice cold, one of the German brewed lagers as they are brewed according to the German purity laws and have a reasonable flavour. At the moment I'm drinking Lidl's Perlenbacher Pils at 4.8% and 89p for 0.5l.

You can split a pack & buy them individually, but it always seems so much easier to me to buy the full 18.

A fly has appeared in the ointment. All parking and even the park& ride at Silverstone are completely sold out.

Might have to look at the cost of being helicoptered in.

I bought a fridge pack (12 tins) of Brewdog Punk IPA today, 5.6% and that too has a nice hoppy taste

Damn . If only I had a helicopter.....

A suggestion would be to ring the organisers and explain your (platinum) plight. They must have contingencies for people in your situation.

Sir Tigger KC · 30 June 2018, 18:04:25

Phone up Heineken and tell them that if Carlsberg did Silverstone prizes......

BazaJT · 30 June 2018, 18:23:03

No good phoning Heiniken they'll all be out on safari hunting for wild CO2's

So they can keep brewing the stuff

Yup...

It's called win a really cool prize that you can't actually use...

Win win... You win a prize and they spend zero on all the hospitality you can't get too

Can't you use the TB park & ride service from Brackley?
