Interesting between 2 customers: "Are you drinking cider?", "I haven't got a clue what I'm drinking". Was the retort, it made me smile. What's the opposite of connoisseur?

| Worth - Blue Steel | 4.90 | | Worth beers seem to be making a regular appearance in Stoke recently. None are great and this is the worst. An unusual and unappealing taste. |
