My gut instinct is to be repulsed at this and I'm not sure why, so now I'm intrigued.

Fruit infused IPAs are the big thing at the moment. People are putting mango puree in beers and poo poo. Some of them are actually really nice. At the moment some big Tescos have Vocation's blueberry waffle stout - give one a go if you see 'em, they're amazing.

Yeah, the vocation Collab waffle stout is decent, very light for a stout.

I've rebelled against this IPA fruit madness by making and drinking nothing but stouts, porters, and bitters.

Got a keg of homebrewed coconut stout sitting in my garage right now that is favored to win a competition next weekend.

I hope there were people yelling good standard swearwords as well because they're not going to know what either of those things mean. If they ask anyone accompanying what they mean they'll probably be told they were shouting up the royals and that tiocfaidh ár lá is Irish for WE LOVE U :sparkles:

Technically he is correct.

It's really, really drinkable, and I'm not usually a stout person at all. I'm not quite sure how Vocation can turn out the beers they do at the prices they charge, but I'm definitely not complaining. Their Yakima Pilsner is lovely too.

IPAs are overrated rubbish imo, especially modern hipster varieties. More hops =/= better. I just always feel bloated and gross afterwards which isn't great when you're trying to get your drink on. Wine is where it's at, only it's a poor choice for me on a night out as I drink at the same pace as I do with beer which ends poorly.

Wine is just strong cider when you get down to it

E:the absolute best beers are those Belgian ones that are like 10% and taste of vinegar. Not even kidding. Rodenbach/duchesse de Bourgogne are a bit pricy and definitely an acquired taste but gently caress me if they aren't the most delicious drinks on the planet.

This is how I feel about it too. If I wanted to taste that much hops I'd just eat loving hops. "Classic" IPAs without any of the recent hipster nonsense like "triple dark IPAs" (it's loving PALE ale, not dark) are fine. Nice and drinkable.

There was a bit of a cider revival in pubs and you could go beyond Thatchers and Magners but then people realised you could market Kiwi and Lime alcopops as trendy cider and now it’s all that’s left bar a Strongbow tap. The worst possible timeline.

What would thousands of untrained volunteers even do beyond maybe some car park litter picking? Because they suggest mentoring patients and being a courier for blood and I’m pretty sure that isn’t something any chancer can have a crack at

A couple of my friends volunteer doing laundry and stuff for hospitals.

On a personal level that's good, and donating labor is often more practical than donating money, but on a systemic level loving hell pay people the Big Society was bullshit by a man who fucks pigs.

Anything more than laundry and food and cleaning (which again should still all be paid for) is dumb as poo poo, brb going to volunteer as a radiology technician.

I was in Exeter from 10:30 til 2. They had maybe 10 people holding placards with dumb slogans, and were handing out leaflets. People were broadly ignoring them or trying to avoid them.

Didn't know Katie was involved, I didn't see her.

Note that Exeter was one of the few constituencies in the South West that voted Remain, so it fits with Katie's professional troll ethos.
