I sometimes find that Theaksons Old Peculiar has a banana flavour to it.

But my favourite bottled beer is the wonderful:

dave · August 24, 2004, 09:05:42 am

that golden glory is actually brewed especially to be peach flava with peach blossom i think - nice.

Jim · August 24, 2004, 10:30:37 pm

Is a particulary fine organic beer from the excellent brewery wychwood

a dense loner · August 24, 2004, 10:34:35 pm

wychwood, am sure they have a wychwood pub in bath. didn't rate that place at all, n the beer was rancid. sure it was a wychwood place

Jim · August 24, 2004, 10:35:34 pm

they do very good bottled beers, circle master and fiddlers elbow are good examples

a dense loner · August 24, 2004, 10:43:11 pm

Graeme · August 25, 2004, 08:00:58 am

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Pale Rider, Kelham Island's finest. It's hard to believe its brewed in the same tanks that used to churn out gallons of manky piss watter for Wards brewery.

What can I say? Some of us are just born with taste :

.
A well deserved award say I.

Bubba · September 06, 2004, 10:28:19 pm

The two seem to be worryingly connected:

It seems like Morris men love a bit of ale.

But hey (nonny nonny), that doesn't mean you have to like Morris freaks if you like ale.

I'd like to think that real ale appreciation has moved on. Its no longer the preserve of bearded "knit your own muesli" types, but is the fashionable choice for the discerning man.
Then again, I do like a quiet pub with no music these days[/img]

Jim · October 19, 2004, 11:53:02 pm

have been enjoying a few cans of this

and a couple of bottles of the finest liquid ever to be put into a bottle

Bonjoy · October 20, 2004, 09:00:14 am

Much as i'd like to say all southern ale is shite, London Pride is one of my pints of choice, consistently good and very well balanced.

Bubba · October 20, 2004, 09:02:14 am

Fullers is a good brewery - I drink not much else apart from their gorgeous E.S.B. if I'm drinking beer at home.

dave · November 02, 2004, 09:47:56 pm

yo listen the fuck up

on way back from font picked up a 2pac and glass of the marvelous Duvel shiz:

I've gotta say this is the dopest continental ale i've ever tasted - its the shiz. fucking go and get yoself seom, its tha bomb. :

Lets have a thread bout real ales innit.

I'll kick off with everyones favourite Taylor'z Landlord:

thats a bo pint. y'all.

any posts about stella or semi-imported generic lagers will be moderated....

Ah the brew in my local, but the git has put it up to Â£2.35 a pint!!!

Now another good local brew is Sam Smiths and down at the Dutchman (summerbridge near Brimham) it still only Â£1.20 a pint.

Big Frank · November 03, 2004, 02:48:17 pm

This is a good brew from near Skipton!

moose · November 03, 2004, 05:49:14 pm

partial to O'Hanlon's Port Stout at the moment - a bit of a winter warmer and the port content adds bonus gout potential! ..... gout: the thinking man's joint problem, you youths can keep your campus boarding injuries, I'm gonna get real old skool and fill my chalk-bag full of snuff.

AndiT · November 03, 2004, 05:54:31 pm

Was on the ESB last night, a real champion ale. I'm currently brewing some Oyster Stout at the mo, should be ready for sampling on Tuesday. Can't wait!!

Bubba · November 10, 2004, 06:50:47 pm

Andi - can you get ESB on tap down your way? I fucking love the bottled stuff and want to sample the real deal.

Bubba · December 17, 2004, 10:13:43 am

Had some of the Edale Brewery's "Kinder Downfall" last night in the Devonshire Cat (guest beer)

Very nice it was too.

dave · December 17, 2004, 10:19:02 am
