Which bottled beer

I like timmy taylors landlord and fullers ESB.What other similar beers would you recommend ( not keen on the strong heavy style beers). If available bottled even better.

I was pleasantly surprised with Sainsbury’s own ‘Kentish Ale’. Hoppier and lighter than a Spitfire, and cheaper, if only by a few pence.
The Kentish Ale is brewed for Sainsbury’s by Shepherd and Neame.

I’m sure this is not the super secret revelation that you were after but its the best one I have tried in the last few weeks. Still tastes good after 9 of them (messy weekend at an outdoor music event in the lovely Alton last weekend).

Harviestoun Bitter and Twisted.

Tesco have 4 for 5 quid

I’ll be stopping by to get 2xbrakspear best bitter and 2x wainwrights ale for the weekend.

HopBack Summer Lightning.

Last night’s tipple, however, was one of these;

One word – WOW!

Brew Dog IPA & Dead Pony Club are my current faves

Harviestoun Bitter and Twisted.

This is one of the nicest blonde beers available.

+1 for the Bitter and Twisted

Well worth a look chaps! (not to mention a wee taste)

Nice one tried last week – Seven Giraffes, Williams Bros, Alloa.
Available in Tesco.

Not what I look for in a beer!

I generally try a couple of the Morrisons discounted ones when they’re on, but I keep going back to Brewdog Punk IPA.

Fraoch and Arran Blonde are nice bottles though.

To echo tiggs – anything from Williams Brothers.

Yep, I’ve tried that Caesar Augustus stuff too. Lovely stuff. Perfect tasty thirst quencher.

Home bargains are doing speckled hen for one pound a bottle. Just used that tesco offer

I’ll give another nod for that Caesar Augustus as well. Lovely stuff. Not usually a fan of Scottish beer, for some reason, but Williams stuff is ace.

Might struggle to get it outside the North West but if you can its a cracking beer!

Had some of this at Easter when camping near Devizes and then found it in Tesco’s in Devon. It is blood loverly: –

Edit – stupid small image updated!

Fyne Ales are impressing me at the moment with these:

Veltins – a pale beer (German Pilsner)

Fresh, slightly bitter with a citrus-y taste. Proper delicious.

Becks

Butcombe pubs sell this it may be strong but its lager and therefore tastes like piss water

Edric 64 – have you actually tasted it?

Just got back from a 3 week cycle tour in Denmark.
Was expecting Carlsberg and Tuborg. But WOW was I wrong. Some of the best ales (ipa and dark) that I have ever tasted

Yes in my local Butcombe pub they have it on draught

I drink beer or cider so im never going to be a lager convert

Innes and Gunn

Dartmoor jail ale in my local Tesco four for £5. Mmmmm luvly – that’ll do nicely ta! 😀

Edric 64 – semantics as to whether it’s a pale beer, lager or both. There are lagers and ales on this thread. Definitely a quality drink but differences in taste are never going to be objectively resolved.

More of a cider man myself.

Have you a suggestion for the OP?

+1 for innes and gunn specially the whisky beer if you can get it . Deuchars ipa is good too

punk ipa +1
summer lightening +1

round my way:

bath ales wild hare
box steam tunnel vision

william bros beers are on sale at aldis in the fife stores anyway at £1.39 a bottle they have 2 or 3 to pick from never had a bad one yet .

Fursty ferett and TangleFoot, WaggleDance and newcastle Brown. cant go wrong with any of them.

cider: henneys

tanglefoot yes ….. newky brown no

Anything by InnIs & Gunn.

Being sponsored by Spitfire Ale I have to say I like it…

“I drink beer or cider so im never going to be a lager convert”

On Mendip, like you I tend to do local ciders or ales as they are really good.

I never sup that pish we dare to call lager in the UK. British served lager is to continental beer, what British keg bitter is to Real Ale: horrible tasting filth in a glass.

Lager beers, including Weissbeers, from Bavaria are gorgeous. I have Gutmann Weissbeer in my paw just now in-fact. Veltins is a reasonably good continental helles-style lager. Try it!

Summer Lightning, Fursty Ferret, 49er. Three of my favourites (although I have many others!)
