my my granddad goes to the pub and just

0:02

reads the news that's that's like I feel

0:04

0:06

do though do you have to drink in a pub

0:08

0:22

work in bars oh

0:23

really yeah every day every day what's

0:26

what's the weather spoons so it's what a

0:29

question it's like a chain of pubs all

0:31

over England which are like the cheapest

0:33

pubs you can find they prescribe you

0:35

Guinness for insomnia which is kind of

0:38

hilarious

0:39

because 10 PS

0:42

of I welcome to easy English so as you

0:46

can see we're in the pub I imagine most

0:49

of you who are watching this have maybe

0:50

never been to a British pub so we had

0:52

the idea now that my drink is empty to

0:56

walk around the streets of Brighton and

0:57

ask the people there what they're

0:59

drinking what they like about British

1:01

pubs and any tips and tricks they might

1:03

have when visiting a typical British pub

1:06

let's

1:07

[Music]

1:22

1:26

1:58

Glen phix with uh 12-year-old loads of

2:01

Ice uh 12-year-old whiskey not people I

2:04

was also drinking L I was drinking IPA

2:06

cuz I'm annoying about I just like a

2:09

normal standard lger I don't like

2:11

anything fancy I don't want an IPA no

2:14

why why is that I don't know they're a

2:15

bit

2:16

bitter someone always said to me they

2:18

all just taste like mango anyway yeah

2:21

yeah I just think it's it's a hipster

2:24

drink and what is a cider what is a

2:27

cider it's this is for far students

2:30

remember it's a what's it made of it's

2:33

apples it's a very very fruity very

2:36

British drink pretty summer drink this

2:39

is a panut colada really peanut colada

2:41

mango smoothie with it's a peanut colada

2:44

a peanut colada and can you get

2:46

cocktails and stuff like that in most

2:48

pubs yeah and what is a what is a glen

2:50

fit people don't know it's a single M

2:52

whiskey and what what does that mean

2:54

what's a single malt well it means as

2:56

opposed to a blended whiskey what is an

2:58

IPA um um Indian Pale it's just like a

3:01

type of beer loads of types how does it

3:04

taste just quite hoppy like a little bit

3:07

like I don't know it tastes stronger I

3:10

think cuz I find that normal beer just

3:12

sort taste like water sometimes why are

3:14

you at the pub today what what what's

3:15

going because it's our 60th birthdays

3:19

this year so we've come away to Brighton

3:21

to just go around the pubs and have a

3:23

drink because on our 40th didn't we

3:26

we've been down a few times and it's a

3:28

brilliant place what uh what is it

3:30

you're doing in the pub today

3:33

socializing I think pretty much just

3:34

sitting having we got some food it's

3:37

just like a cheap place like sit and eat

3:39

and just talk how often do you like go

3:41

to the pub like in a week all I run a

3:44

pub and we all work in oh

3:46

really yeah every day every day cuz you

3:49

guys are drinking in the pub but is it

3:50

sort of accessible and appropriate to

3:52

drink in a pub do you have to I don't

3:55

think you have to no can you just come

3:57

and do nothing I don't think I mean I

3:59

think if you just came and like sat in a

4:01

pub obviously you wouldn't be able to do

4:02

that cuz you have to buy something if

4:04

you you have to buy

4:05

something yeah yeah it's just more of a

4:08

culture to sit and chat feel like bars

4:11

more a night out yeah agreed and pubs

4:14

often have like a nice little Sunny Spot

4:16

yeah bar Pub's great in the summer bar

4:19

makes me think of somewhere dark and

4:22

cold dark and cold and alone what sets a

4:25

pub aside from a bar well just just I

4:27

think a good Pub is where where you can

4:30

go you can chat to strangers and more

4:32

importantly if you're younger you can

4:33

feel

4:36

[Music]

5:59

do uh a British pub kind of mean to you

6:02

guys and is is it more than just a a

6:04

drinking kind of like a hub isn't it

6:06

sometimes you go there and you have food

6:08

or you have afternoon rather than just

6:10

going there to get drunk It's like a

6:11

community

6:13

okay

6:14

drinkers do all pubs do food is that a

6:17

new thing

6:19

um yeah L all pubs do food I think yeah

6:22

okay I think yeah every single P I've

6:24

been to do at least like snacks at least

6:26

like peanuts crisps that sort of thing

6:28

my my grand dad goes to the pub and just

6:30

reads the news that's that's I feel like

6:33

that's a proper Grandad thing to do

6:35

though like you don't talk to anyone

6:37

English Grand he just sits in the corner

6:38

with a newspaper and then you get old

6:41

people in there just having some coffee

6:42

and cake and then you get um people like

6:45

me who just sit at the bar

6:46

Barfly um so I think a pub is a is a

6:49

great Community have the British pub is

6:51

what you were asking me is a great uh

6:54

Community Hub I think there nothing like

6:56

it anywhere else in the world to be

6:57

honest they say it's a m in a glass yeah

7:00

really yeah I do I do say that yeah meal

7:02

in a glass yeah full of full of iron oh

7:06

yeah yeah yeah I actually heard that it

7:08

was like doctors would yeah yeah it has

7:11

been you have to drink it when you're

7:12

pregnant build you build you up got a

7:15

bit apparently cuz you're about alcohol

7:18

but yeah I heard it I went to Island

7:20

once and I it was in the museum right

7:22

and it said it was once uh prescribed if

7:25

you had

7:26

insomnia they prescribed you Guinness

7:28

for insomnia

7:29

yeah which is kind of hilarious because

7:31

10 PS of GU 10 PS of yeah are there any

7:35

little tips and tricks about going to

7:36

the pub not necessarily about drinking

7:39

when I'm uninspired I ask the bartender

7:41

what they want like what they like to

7:42

drink I still do that even though I've

7:44

worked it has a long time I just like

7:46

it's a good way cuz they'll think of

7:47

combinations that you haven't thought of

7:49

I think that's good that's good yeah and

7:53

always ask like deals that are on as

7:54

well like pubs do a lot of like student

7:57

deals or like like beer of the week or

8:00

wine of the week or like there's a place

8:02

I love that does like wine Sundays they

8:04

do like really good wine wine Sundays

8:06

natural wine Sundays like it's a good

8:09

you can hunt those out as well I like it

8:10

when a pub has got a pool table that's

8:13

my favorite oh my God I think that's a

8:15

good thing to do like that's what me me

8:17

and my mates do when we go Pub we we

8:19

always look for one with a pool table

8:21

some places have like books and stuff

8:23

that you can read but like yeah like

8:24

cards that sort of thing I went to like

8:26

a ball game Pub one and it had that you

8:30

could play ball games and like you could

8:31

rent the ball games for out for of the

8:33

day and then like drink with the ball

8:35

games but that's not like a very common

8:37

thing when I get uh a good service in a

8:40

bar and I get to know the staff yeah uh

8:42

the way you don't tend to give money

8:44

like you would in the continent but what

8:45

you would do is say you buy them a drink

8:48

to put in the bin for after their shift

8:50

right a good Garden a

8:53

garden heers with heaters covered beer

8:56

garden yes that makes good pop pop
