what's your best ale

[Pigeonho]

Have you tried the one made from Katy apples? Quite strong, (7%), but very nice in the summer.

I can't drink too much cider though, it plays havoc with the old heart burn and it's a bit of a girls drink too. ;-)

Katy Cider (Thatchers) is 7.4% and was the first cider that really got me into drinking it. Powerful stuff, I drink it at close to frzzeing point. An hour or so in the freezer first. I sometimes get it wrong and it will be liquid until I open the top and then the stuff congeals. Fucking amzing drink with a hot curry. Refreshing in the extreme.

I fucking loathe Magners and the like, I'll only drink single variety cider nowadays, mainly from Somerset though I hear there are a few good French ones.

Doesn't cider make you want to have unnatural relations with your sister?
Only they drink it a lot in Devon and Cornwall,and incest is their number two hobby after watching the traffic lights change colour.
Get de niro to bring you some French cider back.
He loves the French.
Back on topic,I find most ciders a bit gassy and sweet,although some of the still ones are quite nice,and those you get on holiday with bits floating in them that fuck your legs up.

That's scrumpy, real cornish scrumpy. It's fucking great and that feeling that you have no legs, let alone ones that are fucked up, well it's one to behold.

You're right - Scrumpy,that's the fella.
I had four pints of that one afternoon in St Ives and I couldn't fucking move.
I swore never to touch the stuff again.
So I had another four pints in the evening.
You never see it up here,which is probably a good job really.

Make it appear up here and order some!

There's a pub on this site we went to a few years ago now. We got to cornwall about 1ish in the afternoon and we couldn't check in till 4. The sun was shining, the beach was on the site so what we did was we got absolutely steam boats on cider like I had never tasted before. It was just the right temperature, flat and cask-poured. It was fucking delicious. Unpacking the suitcases etc was a bit of a blur. Needless to say the then mrs P was not happy with me, but then again all I had to do was breathe for her to be unhappy with me. I thought it was great.

my friend's home brewed Scottish (real) Ale

- unfortunately one of the rarest beers in the world (imagine Orson Wells doing the voice over)

the Belgium lace on this has to be seen to be believed, it's live, and I've only got two bottles left which I'm saving for a special day...

(and the irony was when he made it as an experiment - he's American, he initially didn't like the taste so I ended up with most of the batch.. ehehe; now he's become more of a cultured beer drinker and appreciative of our top-fermenting beers I might have more trouble out of him prising away his most spectacular efforts)

I've had an orange cider in there, and to be honest it's fucking loopy juice. One session a lad we were boozing with fell asleep comedy style after having that. Sat upright one minute, then his eyes shut, his face relaxed like some weird expressionless episode going on and he just went forward with a bit of a bang. That was only around 2pm. It's lethal, (if you can't handle your booze).

If there is an ale that isn't warm and tastes like tramps sweat in dog diarrhea that is the one i will like
