* - sorry, could have used a better word than 'bitter' so as to avoid confusion with the hopped ale 'bitter'.
Three advantages:
For the person who doesn't like the sourness of lager, a bit of lemonade adds sugar to take away the taste (just like when they were kids and had a spoonful of sugar aftre nasty medicine.)
For the Landord who charges a rip off price for putting some dirt cheap lemonade in place of expensive lager.
For Essex girls who think they're being sophisticated by ordering a cocktail.
I used to be a pub manager many years ago. What confused me was you'd sometimes get people coming in and asking for the low-alcohol or alcohol free lagers. After asking for a number of specific brands without joy, they'd say -
'Oh, I'll have a pint of Tennants Extra then, please.'
So they went from a zero or 1% drink to 6% loony juice !I could never understand the logic there !!
