Sadlers Mud City Stout is bloody lovely, brewed within 2 miles of my house and easily available locally.
The Fiex Wheel brewery's No Brakes IPA is also bloody good but much harder to find.

@ brant - Good call on Vocation. Heart and Soul is a decent session beer.

Some great choices here!

Beavertown in cans is good, keg is so much better!

Brewhouse and Kitchen have Gamma Ray on their normal range at the moment. They have quite a few pubs scattered about.

Good luck finding that over here! Unless you're over there, of course.

There are so many that I really enjoy, like Fuller's ESP, Bath Ales Gem, Otter Ale, Butcombe Bitter...
I tried a Purple Moose at our local beer festival a few years back, can't for the life of me remember which one, but it may have been Dark Side of the Moose, but it was bloody lovely, and I kept going back for more!
Sadly not available here in North Wiltshire, although I keep on at my local landlord to get some, and with the loosening of restrictions on landlords getting bigger ranges of beers, it might happen.
One that I really do enjoy is Badger Blandford Flyer, which has a ginger hint to it, and I find almost impossible to just sip, good thing I can't afford to buy in large quantities.

Lagaunitas

Torpedoes too hoppy IMO - will ruin the lagaunitas taste 🙂

Can we include cider here? I'm just guzzling some Sainsburys TTD Suffolk Cyder [sic] which is nice.

Ringwood 49er from the Three Tuns in Bransgore when I'm back home down south. Bloody lovely.

Am particularly enjoying beers from Vocation Brewery at the moment. Couple of Life & Deaths this evening.

Can anyone compare Beavertown Gamma Ray to their Neck Oil? Had a pint of Neck Oil in the local Micro Brewery Pub recently and it was the best I think I've had from there so interested in Gamma Ray as not come across that.

I cant believe that no one has mentioned Black Sheep Bitter. all the flavour of an IPA but with a bit more depth / range. at 4.4% ? its more manageable that a lot of IPAs that a bit strong.

It is interesting how IPA has almost taken over the world. In Hackney there are craft pubs stuffed full of women drinking pints of strong beer which is great but not what we used to see. Long may it continue.

if I have to choose beer/lager, I guess it would be Doom Bar, Trooper, Waggledance. Badgers do some nice ones as well.

At the moment, 3 Cordilleras 6.47 IPA. It's a special edition though and is starting to peter out on the shelves so may be going back to their Mestiza American Pale Ale soon.

I always come back to a bit of Purity. Pure UBU Pure Gold or Mad Goose all good.

Freedom brewery from round 'ere does nice lager.

1664, please.

(And non-1664 "regular" Kronenbourg when in France)


Dear me. 1664 is OK, and quite refreshing when served chilled, on tap on a hot day. "Kro" (the bog standard stuff) is quite simply appalling. I'd rather drink Heineken, and that's saying quite a bit.

I'm currently having a bit of a relationship with one of the Leffe Royales. Don't know if you can get them in the UK (and probably getting less and less likely by the day 😆 ) but it's the Cascade IPA Leffe Royale. It's a decent brew (and not a Leffe fan at all).

Disclaimer - I'm in France and the choice of beers is generally shite.

there are far too many amazing beers to choose from to pick one, the magic rock cloudwater collab 'Three's company' has been a top one for me over the last couple of weeks. Millstone brewery's True Grit is always good too. Got a can of Northern Monk's DIPA and Magic Rock's Cannonball in the fridge for this evening.

now I'm fickle....
Friday night included the Holgate Temptress - stout well that was on the list
Then the Moo Brew Velvet Sledgehammer
Then the local pubs Brown Ale
Then their smoked porter
then Siera Nevada's black beer
Then there was the 6 pack of Pirate life on Saturday mixed it up couldn't decide which was my top beer

It's a tough life

Damn the hipster are out today,

Such a tricky question, having drunk beer in well over 50 countries it's a tough one,
Best pint in the last year without doubt antillia brewing in st Lucia

Although I do love German bier, it would have been far easier to ask top 10 or top 20
It's all Personal taste
Fraziskaner, black sheep, Guinness West Indies porter , can't go wrong with osset brewary either

Depends on my mood and how many I plan to drink, I like an American PA but after a few that's enough

Keep making it!!

Montys Sunshine, Mischeief or Ding Dong.
Any Heavy Industry Brewery canned beer
The super hipster Kernel brewery brews are very good as well.

Cascade Stout at this time of year.
Heretic Shallow Grave if I'm feeling plush.
I do like an IPA like Rogue Yellow Snow or Epic Armageddon, but there are so many good beers coming out of Tassie now.

Like others have said Beerbods is a great way to try a lot of great beer.

The only issues I have with Beerbods is that a) I constantly forget the name of the really good beers I try. and b) my tolerance for shit beer is now generally nil.

I generally go for IPAs in the Summer and then Stouts and Porters in the Winter.
IPAs with NZ hops are a particular favourite.

That being said most of my beer comes from Tesco's craft selection, which means I'm drinking Vocation Brewery IPAs, Lagunitas (an old favourite from the US now in Tesco) and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Next time I'm in town I need to go to the Brewdog Bottledog with a big bag to stock up.

Hambleton's Good as Gold- one of the first gluten free beers not marketed exclusively to gluten free people. Very nice, and doesn't explode my stomach.

In a can it has to be Bengali from Sixpoint Brewery, an absolute hop explosion!
Draught currently Hobgoblin Gold from Wychwood
Bottled Amber Adder from Hatherwood Brewery (although it's Bank's that brew it and sold at Lidl).

As you can see I'm a fan of pale hoppy beers!

I had one of these last month

First time I'd drank one since being in Laos in 2001. It still tastes fantastic.

For a communist country with only one beer - my god they got it right.
