Porlus - Wold Top are a very cycle friendly brewery. Involved in a couple of local sportives (I sorted the head brewers chain on one) and I think they run / sponsor a local cycle club.
Tempest brave New world IPA is working for me the now. Hic.
I want that Drac!
It's very good they do cans now so it's becoming more readily available.
Three Blind Mice almost anything but Flight of the Unicorn is great, or I'll Make You Famous
Bexar County Chilli porter
Magic Rock inhaler
Traquair House Ale

Traquair House Ale
Midlife Crisis from Whithorn
Brewdog Jet Black Heart. Creamy stout loveliness, mmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm, traquair house ale. Very good, but also the spiciness of jacobite is great too. I'd forgotten about these 2 until the posts above.
Yeah, one, er mixed crate to rule 'em all 🙂
Have to say I'm pretty disappointed with a lot of the choices. I'm West Country through and through but Badger (yet to I find one that is decent) and Exmoor gold - have we stepped into the 1980's?! Some of the safest blandest tasting ales I've had.
Tiny rebel decent shout as was jet black heart. Cafe imperial racer by Fierce brewery would be a good shout IMHO.
Lot of poncy citrus or fruity beers here give me a basic bitter or stout any day. I want my beer to taste like beer not pimms or a fruit salad
Session - Big Lamp's Sunny Daze 3.6%
Few cans - Buvar Original 5%
Numb - Budvar B:strong 7.4%
My favorite is purity ales Ubu.

Really got into golden ales the last couple of years, like cockerhoop or wainwrights golden - lovely refreshing stuff. Dark ale feels a bit chewy now, but I like a stout. Had a lovely pint of porterhouse stout in Dublin - preferred it to the norm.
I found honestbrew.co.uk at the bike show earlier in the year - a selection of beers chosen around your criteria delivered to your door. Some good stuff and always interesting.

Keep coming back to Golden Plover from Allendale. At the end of one of the Kielder 100s you were presented with a water bottle filled with it and mine continued to taste of it for ages after.

Tonight I'm hoping for the latter or similar
This thread is making me thirsty
I did take a liking to Dark side of the Moose while down in Wales.
But back home and it would Orkney's Dark Isle

Awesome beer, brewed in Swansea. I recon the pump sticker would go well on a jersey too!
Would make a nice jersey design

Bumping an old(ish) thread here but I bought some bottles of Fierce Beer (Day Shift and Easy Shift) that are newly stocked in my local Morrisons. Never heard of them before but they seem fairly new and are based out of Aberdeen. Massive thumbs up from me, possibly the best beer I've ever tasted (from a bottle at least).
They have a decent range on their online shop ( https://www.fiercebeer.com) so I'm going to have to put in an order for some mixed cases to try more.
I recommend sampling some should you get the chance.
Paul4stones ..spot on ..my favourite pint when I can get it is Allendale Breweries Golden Plover ..
I also like Hobgoblin Gold ( bottled ) and Old Golden Hen ..
McEwan's 90 shilling ale.
Only ever had it when visiting my late step-father-in-law.
Never seen it on sale anywhere, and no idea where he got it from, but the name, and the fact that he was Scottish may be a clue.
Gluten-free suggestions please in case I've missed any. Next on my list is Wadworth 6X Gold which is a g-f version of 6X which I liked anyway and have been on their brewery tour.
Brewdog Vagabond Pale Ale is GF
Here is another gluten free..havent a clue what it's like though ..

There's some Brewdog in my cellar and that size bottle is ideal for a lightweight!
Shall check out Allendale Brewery, thanks!
Meantime by Meantimebrewing but can't remember what it's like, also Old Speckled Hen which is OK.
g-f seems drinkable but not memorable.
Reading this thread makes you realise:
A. We are lucky to live in times with such great choice.
B. How brews that other people love are not to your taste.
I am lucky to live near the Magic Rock Brewery and The Grove pub though.
Cannonball, Ginspired & Rhubarella, mmm..
Kirkstall's Dissolution from Sainsbury's is good too.
And Black IPA's in general.
Bathams triple x is on at the moment (must not have more than two)
Failing that Ludlow gold.
I don't have a beer to rule them all, new ones pop up all the time. The other day I tried Squawk Falconers Flight for the first time and very nice it was too. I bet next weekend there'll be something else to try.
Magic rock cannonball, highwire, and grapefruit highwire
Brewdog punk IPA and Elvis juice
Riverhead March haigh
Vocation pride & joy
Vocation life & death
Vocation heart & soul
Currently,
Gruut - Amber
Thornbridge - Sequoia
Hogs back - OTT
Vocation - Life & Death
Brewdog for me as I have just become a shareholder 😀
If you like Clwb Tropicana and visit Georgia, USA anytime soon, be sure to try Swee****er Triple Tail and Creature Comforts Tropicalia - I do like a fruity IPA 😛

As so many of the smaller brewery beers are only available for a short time I tend to lean towards breweries rather than specific beers now.
Tiny Rebel
Wild Weather (local to me)
Siren (fairly local)
Wiper and True
Arbor
That and funny names. I'm sucker for a funny name.
Oh, and I've a bottle of You Snows It for Christmas.
