Madri makes its Debut at The Louden

[Robert Marshall]

The Louden has had major refurbishments of its Servery Bars and Cellars since the World Cup break.
We have now added Madri to our list of Draught choices.
We now have 60 Fonts in both the Bar ( an extra 4 ) and 60 fonts in the Lounge
( an extra 20)
We sell Carling, Staropraman, Coors, Madri, Strongbow Dark Fruit, Strongbow Original, Guinness, and Belhaven Best.
Unfortunately because of the amount of work undertaken, it's possible that the Beer Garden will not have draught available until the Hibs game on Thursday, but you will be able to buy a pint and take it into the Beer Garden.
It's not the scenario that we wanted but we will continue to strive to upgrade The Louden as much as possible.
The Louden will be open at 11 am on Saturday with our usual conditions.

What’s a font ? Getting too old for the pub now .

 

[Bluebeard]

I love Madri. A cracking pint.

I love Madri. A cracking pint.

Agree, it was a bargain in Tesco a month or so ago and I expected to be disappointed. Was very good.

 

[Robert Marshall]

The handle you use to pour a pint

 

[The Businessman]

Happydays. I'll be all over that.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Never heard that before . Must be a Louden term. Cracking selection, roll on the festive season.

What do you call it?

 

[Tino_Col]

Usarlas o perderlas.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Tavernier Hagi The Loudens finally got Madri.

Bloody typical now i take my boy regularly I can’t get a beer now

 

[Northampton Lodger]

What do you call it?

A pump ( I think) always thought a font was a type face for letters when typing.

Won’t argue with the professional :shh:

 

[Kenny Senior]

If I owned FF I would make you pay for advertising. If every pub in the Ibrox area started a thread every time they opened up and also when they started stocking a new beer it would be like a TripAdvisor forum for the local area.

 

[Robert Marshall]

Usarlas o perderlas.

That's what I said lol

 

[Cala Bona]

What do you call it?

Beer tap?

 

[Jorg]

tap handle

The Brewers call it a font, Pump is an English version when they need to pump the beer

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Beer tap?

That’s what I was thinking , no idea why I said pump .

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Not keen on it, like skol

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Not keen on it, like skol

Nothing is like Skol…..apart from Harp.

 

[Crispy Bacon]

Madri is a terrible lager and you’ve all been done with marketing.

Give me a Staropramen every day of the week

 

[Live Forever]

Who buys a pint of Carling? It’s rank rotten.

So would I, and have offered to pay Mark for years, if I owned FF, I would make everyone who complained about a Rangers Pub advertising to Rangers fans pay.
FF would make a lot more money

 

[Robert Marshall]

Who buys a pint of Carling? It’s rank rotten.

An awful lot of people as it is ( by miles ) the biggest-selling standard lager in the UK

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Who buys a pint of Carling? It’s rank rotten.

I think it’s actually still one of the UKs biggest selling pints as well.

Terrible beer and the branding is still as uninspiring as it was when we were with them.

Much more common down South eh?

Not the best tasting.

Thought that was a guest speaker.

I need to get out more

 

[Robert Marshall]

It's all about personal taste, I personally don't drink, so I wouldn't get involved in who the Best pint is, but we have a good selection if people don't like Carling

Hofmeister for me or Kestrel!!!

Bit random, but any chance I could arrange to buy a couple of the Staropraman tumblers from you Robert??
Looking for a couple to add to my collection, only time can drink it is a match day as no-one round my way sells it.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Only a week away from being able to go to the Louden for a pint with my youngest son. Doesn’t seem that long ago I was stood outside the Stadium Bar with a coke and a packet of crisps.

Id agree Staropramen is better, but by no means is Madri a terrible lager.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Terrible beer and the branding is still as uninspiring as it was when we were with them.

I imagine price has a lot to do with it? Probably be the cheapest pint in most pubs although, I've no way of backing that up. Stuff is howling though.

Wasn't keen on Madri either but, it's became hugely popular. My mates Mrs works for them (Coors). Says it's flying out the door.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

kestrel , that was grim .

 

[GavCo]

Who buys a pint of Carling? It’s rank rotten.

The folk who look at the rest of the beers and say "Am no drinking any ah that foreign shite"

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Madri is awful.
Like, properly awful.

Yet another fake beer.
A Spanish beer brewed in the UK.

Guinness is the only decent pint on that list.

And before anyone asks, if we’re talking lager, I’d have a Furstenberg, Hofbrau, Lowenbrau, Pilsner Urquell, Estrella or Moretti off the top of my head.

As long as it’s not ruined by being brewed over here, which, sadly, is now the case with Moretti.

Madri is nice. Good to hear of this addition.

Biggest selling Beer from launch in over twenty years, I am told

Got Bluenosebarsdotcom on the phone for you from 1997

Guinness is the only decent pint on that list.

All about personal taste. It won't taste the same as it does in Spain, and ironically Guinness for example tastes better in Dublin than it does here.

My uncle used to drink Kestrel lager back in the day….and always when smoking a cigar!!!

Master Brewer are you? lol

Is Guinness not brewed under Licence in different countries?

 

[GavCo]

Two things I've learned since posting this...

Carling is Canadian
Carling use isinglass which is derived from the bladders of fish.

Explains the taste

Is Madri even sold in Spain?

Was it not invented in the UK as Estrella and Moretti were selling so well?

Nothing more than good marketing and lots of gullible people.

It really is a terrible beer, though.

 

[Robert Marshall]

Massive in Spain, allegedelly

Aye, fair fucks to them. Clearly know what they are doing.

 

[RabWATP]

Will second this. Beautiful stuff

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Pints of Staropramen in the Louden are tremendous. Dark fruits too.

Roll on the Hibs game.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Madri is a terrible lager and you’ve all been done with marketing.

Exactly, its brewed by coors and tastes exactly like coors light, but with a Spanish name.

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Master Brewer are you? lol

No, just like nice tasting beer.

Nothing worse when you get a decent pint like Moretti then they start brewing it in the UK and it tastes nothing like the original.
