Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

433 incoming! 
Also as a bartender, I think that's a fecking rip-off!
Havent worked with the exact beer in question but looks about right to me.
Na bro, no more than an inch and a half head otherwise you might as well put a flake in it.
The level is very high but I think it would start from the 4th round!
The idea is to end with players like Dj*mb*-D*jmb* (I haven't mentioned the name of a specific player
)Damn right.
Also, the fact you're both bartenders is quite disturbing.
On that note, the longest time I've ever had to wait for a beer was in Germany. Don't remember precisely what beer it was (but it wasn't Weissbier, I can tell you that) - but the guy spent about an hour pulling the thing, very particular about the head...and yes, the double entendre possibilities are endless. But it was terribly annoying at the time. Not worth the wait either.

To be fair to Aldo, I don't know if he's based in England like me. In England the most important thing is the amount of actual alcohol as opposed to the amount of froth.
Not my primary job but it's nice to help out the folks down at the Rugby Stadium.
Yeah. We are supposed to fill the glasses up to a particular mark, if not then top up. Dunno if you work with most of the same beers, we serve our local bitter a lot.
Ahhh, bitter is a bit different lol
I don't think he'd made it back to you mate, like 10 picks before that.
Simonsen or Schweini?
As long as it is German weiss I really don't care about the head
a girl can hope....
you know nothing.
Eusebio ain't in this one, Edgar...Continuing my wacky favourite picks....here goes...
Seriously, though, he's an excellent pick. I was actually considering him myself this time around, but not as a DM/destroyer/marker. Wonder how he'd be received as a more or less standard (as per the formation, anyway) member of a back four – can't remember anyone using him as such, though that was a role he played for United on many occasions. You could even go as far as to say that he effectively operated as a sweeper of sorts at times, though not in the normal sense of the word.
Anyway, I set a challenge of sorts for myself before this one started: Not to go with players I've gone with before, or at least keep the latter to a minimum. Just to keep things interesting, y' know. But I dunno. Might have to change that policy soon enough. It would be a bit silly to pass up on better alternatives just for the sake of such a principle.
What do you prefer, old bear: Dark or light?
I haven't experimented much with the darker sort, but I know serious people who prefer "dunkel".
The head is obviously important regardless, though. It's the head, after all.
Won't appreciate the aesthetics all that. Like the German weiss, very specific taste. If it is dark one Czech's get the nod if you ask me
Light, rarely drink dark beer other than Bockbeer once a year at the beerfestival here and I regret that ever single year.
That is disappointing. You should check out the Belgian Dubbels especially Westmalle's
I drink plenty of dark beer as such - depending on what one would label "dark", of course, but from my limited experience with "dunkel" Weiss I definitely prefer the lighter kind there.
Is the darker sort normally stronger? That's usually something I shun in a beer. I don't think I've ever come across a genuinely strong beer (above, say, the six percent mark) that I enjoyed much.
Usually it is. Richer taste but somehow very specific, especially Czech dark beers, which is probably the best I've tasted.
If I happen to travel to Belgium in the near future, I'll give it a try
.I meant for Weissbier specifically.
Thing is that for me, at least, the actual beer quality tends to...go out the window to an extent once you get past a certain point: It becomes something else, in short. I have friends who hail the virtues of certain beers (strong ones), as they're exellent companions to certain dishes - and so forth. Much as you'd argue on behalf of a wine, in other words. And that's no good to me. When I drink beer, that's what I do: I don't sit around sipping it whilst consuming a fancy dish - it's a game unto itself.
Blue Chimay and Gulden Draak.
As far as I know, there's not much in it between regular dark and light Weissbier, definitely both way below the 6% mark. Really depends on the brewery, a quick google search told me that the dark Paulaner Weissbier is actually less strong at 5,3% than their regular Weissbier with 5,5%. It's really just the Bockbeer or variations of double beer that go above the 6%. So unless you drink Bockweissbier, which is of course stronger again, you might give dark ones a try. If you want it really strong, quite a few brewerys started to make a winterbock or icebock. That's pretty insane stuff, like for example Aventinus Eisbock at 12% alcohol.
I keep it simple, not into all the fancy stuff or weird variations or whatever.

Seeing the names of beers being chucked about in this thread and I have been shitting it thinking people are just randomly chucking out the names of Central European footballers I haven't heard of.
Weiss and dark depends really, you can find dark at around 5%,6%,8% or even 12%, there are so many variations on the market and local breweries that it's not a definite answer. Weiss is usually between 5%-6%, though I've seen even at less %.
As for beer and fancy dish I agree they don't go hand in hand. Some drink dark one instead of wine but I find it a bit odd. Beer is more like informal drink or refreshing one at least for me. Very rarely I'll have beer for dinner, especially out, instead of wine. It goes with fried dishes and that's about it or standalone drink.
Well said mate. Couldn't agree more.Well I can tell you some of them are GOATs!
i guess im one of the rare ones that doesnt like beer
Here's the clincher.... I'm teetotal
That sounds like an awful experience.Reminded me of this. Used to get pissed on this a lot.

Tastes deceptively sweet.

I suggest to rename the thread - All Time Beers Draft
The idea is to get more voters for the games

I dont know what I liked about it, wouldnt have a sip now but back in college, dunno, just got hammered on it again and again. Too many regrettable decisions because of that fecker.
