Can't beat a fresh pint of Enville (local stuff)
Failing that Batham's
Or if I'm in a Largery mood: Foster's, or Carlsberg Export
That Cobra stuff goes down well with a curry
Can you still get Calders anymore? Don't see it anywhere by me these days
Now, is there any Brew XI drinkers out there?
Ohh, forgot to add - I'm also a Guinness drinker

Have decided my personal favourite is Wychwood 'Firecrest' from Sainsburys, I think only sainsburys do it but its superb, its a light bottled ale at 6.0%. Go out and buy some, its with all the really shady bottles of brown stuff like Hobgoblin and Old Perculier, **** it in the fridge and get it nice and cold, makes me realise how crap Stella etc really is.
Any other nominations ?
Kronenbourg Premeir Cru was a dissapointment and Cobra lager last night was like bad tap water.

Wychwood make a number of good brews like Firecrest. Badger Champion is very nice. Youngs do a Champion which tastes great too. The bottled beer section in Tesco or wherever is great for trying some new stuff out.

Lieffe is a superb beer but not many places sell it
I sometimes go to Glossop to see the Outlaws and theres a little pub there that sells a great cask beer called "Devils ****". Not been there for a while but will be going at Christmas so hope they still do it
They only serve it in halfs and will only give you a max. of four.

If Stella doesn't bring out the frank bruno in me, then Hurliman's will usually do the trick.
Not many places doing it on draught these days, but seriously reconsider driving after one pint of it!!!!!
..best of all its tastes absolutely spiffing...

Have any of you lot strayed outside the M25?
I cast my vote for Holts Bitter, an acquired taste perhaps but isn't that what something called "bitter" SHOULD be?
It's also completely headbanging and consistently the cheapest pint in the UK.
Oh, and it's from Manchester, Strangeways indeed.

Spitfire brewed by Shepard neame is top notch,their Bishops Finger is pretty good too.Oldest brewery in Britain apparently.
Waggledance by Youngs is also quite refreshing brewed with honey.
Anyone who just drinks lager should really give the real ales a go and take their beer drinking to a higher level,you wont go back to the regulation p*ss water.

Holts, er, not my favourite, as a youngster I worked in a Holts pub and now cant abide the stuff, ditto Hydes, not as aggressive as Holts but not very nice, I like Lager mainly and Bitter has to be really nice to get me interested, to be honest I associate Holts and Hydes with old Fleggers who came in every night and sank eight pints of the stuff and rode home on ancient Raleigh Shoppers !
Robinsons if you are in Manchester is also one to avoid, having spent three years at College smelling it being brewed it has acted as very effective aversion therapy, and it makes you poo smell funny !
