Wolverhampton Beer Fest today so tried a few ales - (halfs)
Smooth Operator (Calvors) 4.0%
English Garden (Franklins) 3.8%
Cuckoo Nest (Holdens) 4.6% (thought of JSW-LOL)
York Quaffing Ale (Hop Studio) 3.8%
High Spy (Jennings) 3.8%
Daggers Ale (Three Daggers) 4.1%
*Cider* Snails Bank (Bishops Frome)
There was also two ales playing off against each other and if you tried both you popped your vote in a box for the best one, some people were dressed in appropriate attire (Viking/Anglo) and walking around beer hall.
Anglo Saxon Pride (Fownes) 3.9%
Svartland Viking (Fownes) 3.9% Girlfriend surround by Anglo`s/Vikings and whatever mwah
As they were just half pints yes,although the girlfriend struggled a bit.(with the drink not some barbarian holding a health and safety friendly knife to her throat).
330 calories per 100 ml. The bottle is 750 ml, so 330*7.5 = 2475 calories in a bottle.
Now, the strength of that one was 11% and high ABV usually means 'more calories', so you won't have as many calories in a lager.
Kronenbourg 1664 has 165 calories per 100 ml, so a 330 ml bottle of that contain s about 544.
dictates that a pint of Kronenbourg has 244 calories, yours would put it nearer 900. Hopefully for your sake your calculations are wrong - a pint of olive oil has around 6,000 calories - I wouldn't fancy chugging back half a pint of olive oil which is more or less what you've drank!
It has to be per 100 ml, because many beers are available in different sizes and they only have one listing for every beer.
It wouldn't make sense either, that a 330ml bottle of Kronenbourg has 165 (or 244) calories while a 750ml bottle of a heavy 11% imperial stout only has 330 calories.

No, it's the 330ml bottle that's 165 calories, which would be about right for 1 pint = 244-ish. An average pint of lager is generally around 170 to 250 calories dependant on alcohol content. I can't see where you've pulled that per-100ml stat from that page. No way has a pint of Kronenbourg got 900 calories in it. If it was I'd be the size of a house the amount of lager I get through :-)
That link for the Lost Abbey states 330 calories for a 12oz drink (which is give or take 350ml). Which for a pint would be around 600 calories.
I was down the pub last night watching the Portugal/Germany game with some Portuguese mates (they were drowning their sorrows after a while!). Had a few bottles of Sagres.
Went for a Turkish meal with the good lady so had a couple of bottles of Efes, followed by a pint of Landlord in my local on the way home. Was going to have a nightcap but I just need sleeeeeeeeep
was tempted, but how does it compare to normal tins of stella ?
which is what I'm on today.
Can't remember the last time I drank original Stella, but from what I remember the 4% stuff isn't quite as harsh. It definitely hasn't got that yeasty heavy quality that always went straight to my head.
It's nicer than Carling and Fosters. Perhaps more like Carlsberg. I prefer bitter and ale really, but lager is cheaper!
Pint of Asahi
Pint of some Bavarian wheat beer from Waitrose
now on my brother-in-law's home brew lager - not half bad, as it goes - and will have some home-made wine later :)
also, drinking beer out of an Asahi glass makes a pint last about 3 seconds :o
Comments
He is tonight!!
Not sure drinking rose' wine and listening to metal would work!:smile:
I called him "Spikey" yesterday. I'm sure that would've got me a kick back in the day, perhaps he's mellowed...

...and Smith and Forge Cider.
Tonight's gonna be rough at work that's for sure
Another Charlie Wells ale, just the right side of hoppy for me and 6% too so won't need much of it.

Still, that IS a lot of calories. :(

I think it's 330 calories per bottle, not 100ml. But that does seem low for such high alcohol content.
I use RateBeer to get the calorie count.

...and another (local) strong-ale afterwards.
I think it's time to go to bed now. ;)

Quite pleasant as it goes
Had one called Hummingbird over the weekend - good session drink

Urgh!
Either of those on their own makes me want to retch, so a combination must be my ultimate emetic.
Each to their own.
