Bottle-conditioned beach

I'm shocked by the lack of commitment over at Boak and Bailey to decent beer. Shocked, disgusted and a little bit sad.

I hesitate to repeat it here, but this is what they wrote:

"After all, it’s just not practical to sling a few bottle-conditioned ales in a bag and take them to the beach. For one thing, they’ll get shook up. For another, you can’t drink them from the bottle. And — the final nail in the coffin — they just don’t look cool."

Can't take bottle-conditioned beer to the beach? I beg to differ on that one.

It's easy-peasy. You just need to decant your St Bernardus into a plastic bottle. Then you're ready to go. No yeast to get disturbed. And some fizz is removed in the process. Brilliant! Everyone else will be swilling swill from a plastic container. You'll fit right in.

It works equally well for the playground, too. You don't want the other parents to spot what a pisshead you are. So use a Diet Coke bottle. St Bernardus Abt has many great features. One is being exactly the same colour as Coke.

Looking cool? As Stonch has remarked, that's the last thing I'm worried about.
