JULES said:Balti said:Orkney Dark Island - my absolute all-time favourite but very closely followed by:
Jennings Snecklifter
Theakstons Old Peculiar
Black Sheep Riggwelter
Dent Owd Tup
and
Robbys Old Tom
and John Willies Moonraker at the falling over quickly end of the market
but delighted to find:
Sir Joseph Holts Mild & Bitter, Brains Dark Mild, Shropshire Lad, Bluebird, Aviator, Feeling Foul Double Dragon, ESB (and Fullers Winter Warmer), Yewbarrow, Schiehallion, Brodies Prime, Doris's 90th, Summer Lightning, Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby, anything by Kelham Island/ Marble Stout, anything by Oakham, anything else by Orkney, most stuff from Phoenix especially Wobby Bob, Darkn Side of the Moose, anything by RCH, anything from St Austell, Shropshire Gold, Sam Smiths OBB cos its dirt cheap and can be well decent, Timmy Taylors Dark Mild, anything from Titanic, Traquair Jacobite although they don't like selling it to Sassenachs.., 6X if its well looked after, Weetwood Old Dog, All seasons, Wickwar Station Porter, owt from Woodfordes
Failing that then I'll have to settle for summat else I suppose but not that tasteless fizzy stuff they call lager. Yes there are some good lagers out there especially on the continent where it's easier to find a decent pillsner but most of the mass market stuff here is just piss and so I'll go for Guinness in a crisis situation where there are no real ales and no decent bottled belgian beers to be had.
you have good taste, incidently have you been to the sarah hughes brewery pub, the beacon hotel over the dark side? well worth a visit

Hobgoblin, Black Wych, Wychcraft, Lancaster Bomber, Bluebird, Proper Job, Copper Dragon and Black Sheep

I'm with you lads. I'm off to a stag in dusseldorf and i'm really looking forward to the local beers. I could cry I love Paulaner Pils that much!
I've had some cracking Belgian stuff in my time too although you need to treat them as a wine, they're not session beers, fantastic with certain foods.
I also love smithwicks, an Irish Ale that I had neglected for years but now thwe love affair has started all over again!
