Weetwood for me, couple of nice IPA/hoppy/light/citrusy beers. Don't know how far its traveled though?
DezB - indeed, Upham beer is very good.
Cheers Spawn, will look our for Mallinsons.
Millstone is a small brewery near me in Mossley. They have a beer called Tiger Rut which is lovely if you ever see it locally
we're spoilt for choice between southampton and the downs.
Closest to home is cracklerock brewing but i've never been/ had their beers. perhaps a ride to the tap room is in order...
Localish is red cat brewery - which i'm a huge fan of - insisted on prowler and tom cat for our wedding last summer.
Brewdog is my local that I can drink regular.
Fierce brewing is closer...I like their eskimo Joe but it's a once in a while drink.
Chang, Leo, Cheers.ir Singha
There are.some decent Thai craft beers now, but they are brewed over the border to get around the tax laws.
For Newcastle I'm going to to plug my mates business

50m from home. Mostly pale ale but special stout in winter.
doordonot, I moved into the area last year, and Stroud Brewery was a very pleasant surprise. Especially as I have budding on draught within 200m.
but there's a few in the area - Hogs Back, Tillingbourne, Surrey Hills to name some....
my local brewer is The Moor Beer Company in Bristol. but I am far more partial to a pint of Buddings from the OP's local brewery.
Another Stroudie here .
Of the regular beers OPA is my favourite .
Of the seasonal beers Teasel wins hands down for me . It's on draught in March so only a few days to wait .
I'll be there around 5pm on a green Escapade if any of the other locals want to reveal themselves .
thheotherjonv, and that's what I left, nestled halfway between Surrey Hills and Tillingbourne. I do miss Corbetts in Dorking.
My local farm shop started brewing beer to feed the rare breed cattle in a wagyu beef style, realised it tasted good and now bottle it.

BRAINS!
Anything by Allanwater Brewhouse:
(although Czech Pot is my fave).

I'm even in the promotional video:
Where else you going to finish your mid-week ride?
Eden Mill down the hill in Guardbridge. Bonus is they do gin and whisky too. A decent range of beers, but this is my favourite...

Pete, I may well see you there later, I'm just trying to see if they're still only open half a day today for collections. all this talk of beer has left me needing to come up and grab a case.
Good shout on Teasel too, another fine ale from SB
Oooooh! Not heard of that Quirrel.
An old school friend set it up. I have liked all the ones I tried. Based out of the Ouseburn building just opposite the Free Trade, but should have a cafe near the Ship Inn soon - Arch 2 I think it is called.
Cheers Quirrel I know exactly where you mean.

Twisted Barrel by far the best of those, particularly this:

I recently moved back to Kent from Yorkshire. Locally we have Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer. A Yorkshireman asked me why I was moving so I told him it was to get a decent pint...

Ride past this place regularly on the road, lovely beers
Not that I drink it - I'm lager & cider I'm afraid

Local (within 10 mile radius) to me are in no particular order -
Red Willow
Storm Brewery
Wincle Brewery
Happy Valley
Bollington Brewing Company
Mobberley Fine Ales
Tatton Brewery
Beartown Brewery
Buxton Brewery
Al good stuff and always something on from one or the other to enjoy after the Monday night ride
More local beers to try, thanks to Dez and thomthumb. 8) Recently bought some from Red Cat which wasn't bad, in the cupboard awaiting sampling is Bowman 'Swift One'.
Used to brew beer many years ago, bought proper hops etc.
The Wye Valley Brewery.
Spinning Dog Brewery.
Both within 15 minutes walk. 100m apart.
Over 40 breweries in Kent now, a lot have sprung up in the last few years! SN is reliably mediocre (I still drink it mind, can't really escape it when half the pubs in Kent sell it). Time & Tide in Deal is the best Kent brewery right now I'd say. The Foundry brewpub is decent (although not as good as the early days since their original head brewer left) and importantly within staggering distance of home from me!I recently moved back to Kent from Yorkshire. Locally we have Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer. A Yorkshireman asked me why I was moving so I told him it was to get a decent pint...
Brightside brewery is the closest and good beers also a couple in bury and one in Prestwich
Cheers Quirrel I know exactly where you mean.
I think Ouseburn is limited opening, give him a call or [url=
Funk him[/url]
Brewdog is a five minute walk from the house and I still haven't been on the tour :/
80cents for half a litre of Bavaria's finest.... Those lucky lucky homeless drunks....

On my last trip to the island I found this in the local.... Nice session beer.

Rather moreish.
Same ones as carlos. No problem getting a good pint around here.
I'm on the outskirts of Brussels so quite a few... here are some very local ones though.

This one is brewed in Brussels itself - the "Senne" in the name of the brewery is the [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenne ]river that runs through Brussels[/url] (you can only see parts of the river now, most of it is covered up).

A new brewery based in Waterloo, featuring the lion from the lion's mound at Waterloo.

The beer for the tourists...which is actually pretty good, as you'd expect here.
Lots of brewers in Bristol, but this is my favourite:

Slaters in stafford makes a few nice beers too. And I can vouch for Jekkyl that the Titanic brewery make nice stuff, the 'local' farm shop sells a few Stafforshire brews.
Also, from Aldi

85p!! And quite nice on a Saturday night for watching a film with
Bath Ales are quite close and make the delicious Wild Hare amongst others, but the Wild Beer Company makes some lovely ones (and some bloody awful ones as well!)
jekkyl - Membergreat question: I hail from Stoke (live here not from here) and we do have an excellent local brewery. Titanic. http://www.titanicbrewery.co.uk/c/our-beers/the-titanic-fleet/
Their plum porter is excellent, one of my favourite ales.
Not beer but this is my most local booze:

The ABV is always a complete lie; 2-3 pints will get you a poking with the drunk stick, half a dozen will get you beaten to death with it.
Loads of them but i'm mostly drinking these right now: http://cervesamontseny.cat/en/beers/
Ooohh a glass with a handle made my Northern toes curl.. not right, will never be right, smash them.
We have [url= http://www.phipps-nbc.co.uk/11.html ]Phipps NBC[/url] in Northampton. I have been known to sip a Phipps IPA once in a while.
