Hope this doesn't mean that it will be the only thing on sale in stadiums at FA Cup fixtures...

The draft Budweiser they used to do a few years back was well nicer than the draft Heineken shit they do now is. Heineken never tates right on tap.

It's not about which beer they serve, so much as whether they'll ban cider. It's virtually the only alcohol I'll drink from a plastic cup, and Bud are renowned for being wanton with their 'exclusivity' deals...

Do they do Bud in plastic bottles?

I love Budweiser, but is an evil drink, have a few bottles and feel nothing, then all of a sudden, BAM...pissed!

...and straight through the coffee table like my brother did on christmas day!

Firstly, Budweiser is a crap beer.

Secondly, good beer can still taste okay in a plastic cup, so get over yourselves.

Lastly, as Lady Mister Kiers said, that's OUR cup they are referring to. Am i right? Yes i am.

Roll on July...i need some City...i'm fucking dying here.

cheers

Ugh, Budweiser. In a pinch (i.e. I'm broke and want lots of beer for less money) Miller and Yuengling at least taste like something.

Amen. That day I had on the Harp in West Chester was the only day I had off the Yuengling. Not a sniff of it over here so I always get silly on it in the States.

MILLER is shit. Give me Bud any day over that soda-streamed piss.

Staropremen. Pour it in a plastic cup outside at a festival or something and i'll drink it all day long.

Shirley, you'd rather have a glass, but let's not be arrogant about it. Not every sitch can call for the highest quality materials. In fact, i kinda hate these new "plant" based plastic cups and how they feel in your hands...i'm afraid i'm going to literally crush them, but i know they are better for the world so if i get one i struggle through it.

Besides, when do you get a plastic cup? very rarely in my life -- only when i'm at some "event" -- a concert, festival, football match, baseball game, etc...very rare tbh.

They just said on the radio that the Chumps league is being held at Wembley AGAIN in 2013 and i thought i would google the reason the FA Cup will be played during the season (like we have just done) as i have forgotten the reason, anyway i came across this........


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011-12_FA_Cup

US AS DEFENDING CHAMPIONS HAS A NICE RING TO IT :-)

Anyway i guess what i am saying is, that the FA Cup rapidly sems to be coming a new date i.e. to be palyed before the end of the season.

Yuengling is tops among cheap US beer. Miller Lite is not much better than Bud, but it does taste like something more than ass-water and sadness.

It was nice to see Wilkins paint himself the colour of Bud for the launch.

It's mainly the speed at which beer goes flat in plastic which I have issues with, as opposed to taste- far faster than I can drink it these days. I find flat cider bearable, but not lager.
Yeah, it's rare to be served a plastic beer, I totally agree. But at the same time, the events where they're served are the events which are supposed to be the most memorable (well, except student parties, which I actually choose not to attend if the only beer available is served in plastic cups- does it get served in real glasses in the workplace?).

In truth, I'll drink anything. But if I had the cash to buy imports and microbrews in the same quantity I can get cheap stuff, I'd never look back. As it is, six good = twelve cheap, and that's hard to pass on.

At the catered work/wedding/etc. parties I've been to, they give you the bottle, with liquor in plastic.

i'll drink just about any lager going (well, apart from nonsense like carlsberg and skol) and i find that any drink in my hand rarely has time to go flat.

Given the choice tho - i'd drink out of a cold can all day long. Preferably heineken - or carling if we're on an all dayer.
