Good shout, TalcumFred. Prefer their sublime IPA, though!
Flying Dog - Ragging Bitch = Skunk in a glass 😯 😛

That's a good un, they sell it over the road as well. In fact, the biggest thing i will miss about my flat when i move in July is the offy over the road.
Amazing selection of beer.
This one is quite nice.

I might be a bit of a sainsbury's ale drinker (as in only what i find there), but I had a London Pride for the first time in a while, I'd forgotten what a properly all round satisfying beer it is. Schhhhhlurp!
Un petit pastis, ein?
Prefer 51, but still lovely!

WCA and I once spent a very pleasant evening in the Greenwich Union, sampling most of Meantime's wares. He'd periodically 'phone his wife; 'yes I'm leaving very soon I'll be home at [s]8[/s] [s]9[/s] [s]10[/s] [s]11[/s] 12.....' 😀
Currently supping thwaites wainwright ale
CFH love the "I approve of your choice however it's not good enough for me cos I prefer something else"
Not at all, Al. As Julian mentioned above, these threads open the eyes to all sorts! I just have my own preferences. Don't mean I'm always right, mind you! 😉
Hmmm might have to see what's in the house.
Oh well in that case I am sure your choices are very nice however I prefer Tayside Roisin cos it *s all other beers up the * 😉

Mate and I had a surprisingly pleasant 43 mile bimble round the cyclepaths and towpaths this morning, and having decided that we had earned a pint, discovered the village pub had Thornbridge Jaipur IPA on again. Well it would have been rude not to.......

Tonight's tipple is a Leffe Triple!
Feel free to take the p!ss out of the kitchen wallpaper - I'm drinking beer and don't care! 😀

I'm drinking some pretty good homebrew, but all this beer talk has got me thinking about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I love IPAs and other dry hopped beers.
Wish I could find this more often in the UK:

was in Leuven recently and enjoyed many a top beer but can't remember a lot!!
Various types of Leffe featured highly I seem to think
stop it.
My wife is currently in the limbo just before labour. No booze for me...
Jenlain - remarkably nice beer to find in the supermarkets of most French ski resorts. Takes me back about 20yrs, that
Ringwood fortyniner on the go just now
Had this on a recent cruise we were on:
Haven't been able to find it here though.
I'm sure I've had that here. Someone bought it for me as a multi pack type thing last Christmas. I'll try to find out where it came from. Was rather nice.
You wanabes should have come to SSEC for some real beer.

Roll on next year for SSEC 2011 when the Belgique can show us their delights. 😀
I did ,but can't remember what I did or didn't drink 😳
the belgian bar was an eye opener, briefly, then everything went quite blury.
memories are hazy, but i do remember that there was a conga...
Innis & Gunn is lurvly!!
Currently drinking some Banrock Station though that was left after the last bbq i had. Realy affects your typing

Lots of interesting brews here. Just got in from the pub, had a couple of Bank's, really nice flavoursome beer, considering it's only 3.8 ABV. Had a couple of Top Hat's last night, 4.8ABV, and very tasty they were, too.
Corroded - you a former Adelaidean then? I prefer the Dark Ale, but hard to go wrong when most pubs here have Pale on tap whether a 'good' pub or not, beerwise. Way better than Fosters or kronenbourg choice many leave you with in most UK unless you are careful...
Waiting for a box of Australian (mainly South Australian at that) Microbrews to rock up this week - can't wait!

this in the fridge for a bit later...
Oh, and any Aussie based STWers, I recommend http://www.adelaidebiershop.com.au/home.php
for great service, great choice of interesting beers with lots of good SA micros in particular.
I am enjoying this stuff at the moment, delicious, and made in Scotland!!

Trashy Blonde is quite nice too:

Had a few afternoons recently in the North Bar in Leeds,drinking Schneider Edel-Weisse,can't seem to get it anywhere else in UK as it's brewed for the American market.Yum
Langy, we're emigrating to Adelaide in a month or so. The beer situation is the bit I've been dreading! Posting links like that will get you a drunken kiss! 😉
(Mind you, some of it seems a pit pricey!)
Anyone tried Tactical Nuclear Penguin?
Langy - no, just spend a lot of time in Aus, in Melbourne. As you say, got to love the fact there's such a great beer on tap so widely. Where's your box of beers coming from? All the way from SA?
Zokes - you have nothing to fear at all. There's a thriving microbrewery scene in Australia, more so than here I reckon. I wish you many warm, sunny evenings trying them!
EDIT: pricing - yes, some things, good beer included, are quite expensive. $15-16 for a six pack of Coopers from the local bottleshop. Other stuff is cheaper (eating out in Adelaide is good value) - I reckon it evens out, ruinous exchange rate notwithstanding.
Another fave brewery near Melbourne:

You bunch off sods. i rarely drink now, but I'm salivating at all these pictures. Trouble is - the wife's out shopping, I'm at home with the kids, I've no (decent) beer in the house, and I know it's after midday and theoretically permissable but i'm still in a pair of shorts and a scruffy t-shirt that i threw on at 7am when youngest decided to get up.
So I'm going to have to salivate a while longer.....

A current favourite but they only produce this for a limited time in the spring.
Local to me too. Very hoppy and refreshing.
Golden Champion (a bit fruity), Golden Glory (very fruity) and Tanglefoot (thick, rich and malty) are all great Badger beers though.
Ice-cold Cruzcampo in an iced glass - perfect on a hot day.

Currently refreshing my throat in Brizzle area(l) is the lovely Butcombe Blonde - as refreshing as a refreshing thing and a lovely hoppy taste. Lager drinkers should give it a shot. Plus if anyone out of town is buying you one, you get to see the look on their faces when you ask them for a pint of "ButtCum" 🙂
DD,
We emptied a barrel of that in Spoons in York on my stag do the other week, lager drinkers 'n' all!
Hmmm, Butcombe....Yum!
Tonight's choices include this gem of a beer;

lager drinkers 'n' all!
That's the thing - any that I give a taste say it's lovely. What are you having then?, says I..."hmmm...a grolsch please mate".. 😐
Then again, there's this...oooh, I'm getting thirsty....slurp!
[img] 
[/img]
I don't feel very well today... 🙁
Beer is bad for you.
Ladies and beer are very, very bad for you...
Decent lager is lovely. I'm not one of those who religiously sticks to one type of beer and look down my nose at other types. I'm not a great fan of some ales, but others are lovely. I'm not a cider person, but I've drunk some amazing cider.
This is delicious on a hot summer's evening:

Tried this last week, just like drinking a slightly warm, vaguely alcoholic pint of very, very chocolaty chocolate milk.
T'was delicious. 🙂
A Bradfordian Brew! 😀

Thank Gawd this is readily available in my local Sainsburys.
Your missus still round her sister's?
Well, thanks to you, she won't be my missus for much longer, thank God. You've given me the perfect excuse to get rid, without it costing me a fortune, and taking ages. 😀
I'd get a DNA test done though if I were you. Knowing her, it could be bloody anyone's.... 😯

chakaping, that's a man's beer! Awesome stuff, but pretty heavy on the numbers...!
Brakspear Triple... hic +3.
On a side note, [i]Dirt Rag[/i]'s beer column is always a great read.
This is very good local lager.

It went well with the gammon

I'm with deadly darcy. That whitsable bay is lovely too.

Sandwich, does that really say "Suffolk Lager"? If so, I must find some to try! Where's it from? (Shop?)
I had one of those Brakspear Triples t'other day.
Very nice it was too, 7.2 and bottle conditioned no less 8)
But I'm really liking this at the moment...

You buggers! Could definitely go for a beer now. Might nip out for one when 24 has finished.
BUGGER!

Nice cold Tennents!
Feeling thirsty now thanks to all those pictures, hope all is well with you bikechain, still not had to use my new gore jacket yet 😀
It is from Suffolk (Coddenham Green) and available in two strengths the session one I had and the slighlty more pokey 5.2 version. The local Suffolk foodhalls have it in stock. Being a local brew I'm not sure how far it has migrated from these parts. Their website has an e-mail contact info@calvors.co.uk and they will let you know the local stockist to you. (The list is not up on the web yet!).
You bunch of beer tarts! 😉 😆
discovered this at the local beer festival this weekend, an addition to the other williams brothers finery. brewed in Alloa too, great stuff.
