It's nice to see Diamond White getting a mention. It tasted, smelled and looked exactly like watered down and carbonated paint thinners. Mix it with 20/20 for a Mad Dog: pure vomit fuel.

I'm like Arkay; I barely drink anymore, but I'm assuming Hemeling, Kestrel, Allbright and Brenin Bitter all lost their fights against the Trade Discrimination Act and are no longer allowed to pass themselves off as a food stuff.

Unbelievably I think you can still get Allbright, at least I saw it on draught in a pub in Burry Port a few years ago surely one of the worst beers ever brewed. And don't get me started on feelingfoul, jesus wept, who the hell would drink that, I wouldn't kill slugs with it.

I once went on a bit of a working holiday of the USA and we happened across a bar that sold 100 beers from around the world. They had beers from lots of different countries but none you'd recognise. They had Belgian beers but not Stella, French beers but no Kronenburg etc. Amazingly they actually had Wales on the list. Our beer was called Dragon Ale and was all the way from Felin Foel. I can tell you that one bottle of the stuff would have cured Terry Waite of home sickness.
