For me its Tetley Imperial ,John Smiths, Ruby Red Strongarm all on draft or them widget cans at a push,or in a bottle Double Maxim when i can get it.Tried Old Speckled Hen and Fursty Ferret and Bombardier to name a few but find a lot of them too bitter for my taste.

I find anything with a "widget" in the can, or "creamflow" (or similar) in the title tastes of absolutely nothing at all :no:

+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.

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 :good:

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 :rolleyes:

 

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...???
