Nothing good could ever come out of putting watermelon or toffee nut syrups into your beer. And don't get me started on beer being so cold it hurts - that can't be right.

Don't Drink Beer At Nigella's House
As much as I like the look of her cooking Celebrity Chef Nigella Lawson really needs to learn a thing or two about beer. Writing in today's Times she says: "My Monin syrups are beginning to look like a multicoloured army advancing across my kitchen; favourites to splosh into the sparkling wine are Rosé, Watermelon, Pomegranate and Passionfruit. I bring out a different range for Christmas parties (Cranberry, Winter Berry, Toffee Nut and Gingerbread) and I love these in beer, too. Speaking of which, if you’re serving beer as well at your party, which I think you should if it’s summer or if dancing is involved, make sure it’s so cold that it hurts."

I rarely allow myself to get annoyed at some of the stupid things written about beer in the mainstream press.
That, however, has annoyed me. Slap her across the face with a fish. The only thing I want from that woman is her father's dieting tips. I may need them later in life.
Thats awfull, I once witnessed a local food and supposed beer authority recomend pairing brie with Corona, as I earn my crust from cheese, and passion is beer well my expletives were flowing.
"I should say 'Oi! Lawson! NO!'"
The Poles are mad for the ol' syrup-in-beer malarky. But then an awful lot of their beer is chuffing dreadful.
I suppose I can see that an unsweetened syrup, made from actual proper fruit, in certain beers that take fruit flavours well (viz. a fairly plain wheat beer) might be OK. It might even be nice. But I wouldn't want a glass of London Pride "mit schuss".
Beer Nut -- I had *hot* "mulled" lager with a shot of fruit syrup in Zakopane in Poland. Once. Eugh.
I had my mulled lager in Kraków plain. Shan't be doing that again.
