screamingdead Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Butty Bach by Wye Valley Brewery is very good. +1 for Butty Bach, Wye Valley Brewery is our local brewery, so there's always a few bottles in the fridge - along with TT Landords & a loopy juice brew called Old Tom.

Paul T Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hobgoblin (got a few t-shirts!) or Riggwelter (by Black Sheep Brewery) If I want something cold it has to be a cider - dry Blackthorn or a cloudy Old Rosie Down the pub it's all local brews (Old Mill Brewery linky) and Red Goose is my current favourite - very dark ruby and a proper old-fashioned bitter taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smig4373 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Whilst I love to experiment and try all sorts of beers, I have to have a staple I can always rely on to keep in the fridge, which has to satisfy certain criteria, namely: . Is available on draft, but crucially also in bottles or cans, and tastes acceptable when so packaged . Is readily available in most supermarkets . Is relatively easy drinking - no 7-9% loopy juice, but with a bit of flavour. A session ale if you will I do like to try more challenging beers, but what I'm talking about here is your old faithful standby which you can ask the missus to lob in the trolley at the supermarket when stocks are running low, and crack open knowing it's going to reliably hit the spot when you're not feeling adventurous an d prepared to gamble on a new brew. I hope it goes without saying that I am referring to beer not laaaager In the past the following brews have occupied this slot in the Blunderbuss household: Spitfire; Old Hooky; Old Speckled Hen; Bombardier; London Pride. Currently it is either St Austell Tribute or Bath Ales Wild Hare IPA. What's yours? Have you tried St Austell HSD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
