Pedro Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I used to drink 6X, Fellinfoel, Butcombe and loads of other real ales, but one hot summer years ago I tried lager and I've stuck with it since. The pub in the village does however have a beer festival in the summer and they have some fantastic beers on. It's after a few of these that I realise why I've changed to good old Carling Black Label. In fact I can feel a thirst coming on now P.

pin Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Have a look at www.badgerales.com Can't recommend any of their beers highly enough, absolutely bloody superb, every single one of them. If you have a costco near you they are doing an incredible 16 bottles (4 each of Tangle Foot, First Gold, Golden Glory and Golden Champion) for £16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm a fan of Badger Ales... but I do prefer them in the summer months more, as they tend to be fairly floral, and during the colder darker months I do find myself drinking more winter ales / porter etc. Pin have you tried any of the Hogs Back beers ? I think you would like them also. Have a look out for "T.E.A. Traditional English Ale" Waitrose sell it... and I find their selection of ales better than most other supermarkets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sick Old Man Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Have any of you tried brewing your own? I did once, just down the road from me was a chemists ( Hornchurch Essex ) that sold home brew stuff. So I thought I would have a go, they are not kits, you buy the hops, wart, yeast and cook it all up yourself. It does not take long and I made some pretty good beers, porter, bitter, old English Ale. I will have another go at it soon, I stoped due to making 5Gal batches and just drinking TOO much Its a hoot, just do not try and make them too strong, it blows the flavour out.

My local Sainsbury's has a cracking selection of real ales, everything that's good really including bottle conditioned which is odd for a supermarket given the "risk" of a bad bottle. Shame they sting your for it though, unless you get offers they want about £1.90/bottle which is a bit pricy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well tonight i'm going to be drinking red death (Mcewans export ) I have some dog in the garage but that is for another time. Dose anyone else like export.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yep, perhaps a cheeky pint of mixed too? I miss draught scotch, obviously can't get it here other than in cans and its never been something that worked out of a can for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 You can get draught export up here , now that is something special a finer pint is hard to find . The best scotch you mention is a canny pint to but not as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy without Bigears Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I was in my local on Friday night drinking a gem of a real ale called "Sneck Lifter" but I can't remember who actually brewed it, dark, strong 5.1% and extremely tasty, altogether a cracking pint, wish I could remember who the brewer was so I could look out for their other wares.
