Paulaner Original Münchner

Feeling hungover and slightly hungry, I decided to compromise with Mrs CB and let her select a place for lunch on the bank holiday Monday. To my disapproval she chose All Bar One (ABO). For those international readers, ABO is a chain bar - which is themed upmarket and is actually not that dissimilar from Weatherspoons (except its full of wankers rather than the socially inept). One thing that ABO does have going for it is the international beer selection. I opted for Paulaner Original (4.8% abv), a pale Helles style lager. This beer was ok, it came in a fancy glass, but I guess that they don't sell a whole lot of the stuff as it tasted past its prime. Hopefully I will not have to go back to one of these drinking factories anytime soon!

As an aside, I think I have an aversion to any pub (chain or not) that identifies each table as a number which you have to quote at the bar when ordering food.
