i always get confused when you post....
is that johnny danger or dave?

 

[Ruskin]

I tried Bombadier the other day and I have to say I wasn't impressed.
Abbot's must surely be up there. Lovely stuff.

1. Any Hop Daemon ale (Canterbury local Brewery)
2. Marstons Firestoker (Beautiful drop with a hint of Vanilla)
3. Shepherd Neame Early Bird, Late Red or Whistable Bay
4. Fursty Ferret (Badger)
5. Wychcraft or Fiddler's Elbow (Wychwood Brewery)

[Pocket Fluff]

I highly recommend looking out for Firestoker too!!

mmm wants a proper pint

anyone know of anywhere in bristol with a wide spectrum of aley choice?

 

[Scoff Cruddle]

This is possibly the most difficult question known to man! But assuming all the following are in good form, then in no particular order...

Harviestoun....Schiehallion
Caledonian...IPA
Timothy Taylor...Landlord
Badger...Blandford Fly
Hopback...Summer Lightning


Which obviously shows I am in a summery mood!

[Deleted member 735]

Anyone ever mulled ale btw?

 

[leminge]

guinness, in the winter (not sure if it counts as an ale, but i like it)
master brew or goldings in the summer, cant beat it

:beer:

 

[ZINI]

Yep. You cant beat a pint of Guinness. Drink and food in one pint glass. And the bowel movement the next morning is stuff of legends. Thank you Arthur.
We don’t get much ales over here and if you can find them the publicans charge a fortune for them. I do like Bristol Ciders though *off topic*. Fooked if can remember the names of them though.

Guiness, Murphies etc are all stouts.. as is that fave of carnivals - Dragon Stout... (obviously!)


Good to see Landlord mentioned - always liked Timothy Taylor ales - though can vaguely remember some dodgy stuff about the brewers?

Used to like Timothy Taylors Ram Tam as well - but dont really see it anywhere any more...

 

[CariFairy]

Mulled Wine!
Ginger Wine!
Chile Wine!
Cheapo plonky Wine!

:P

 

[Biggins]

1) abbot ale
2) marstons pedigree
3) old speckled hen
4) green king IPA (<--- the best up *ahem* all day beer)
5) london pride (only a decent pint though (ironically, mostly found outside london))


extra bonus pint........pretty mush anytihng by sheperd neame brewery

...mmm.....ale.......

 

[Pocket Fluff]

4) green king IPA (<--- the best up *ahem* all day beer)

I'll second that!! And you can buy it cheap in nice big bottles

 

[Scoff Cruddle]

1) abbot ale

Gah! Greene King, pah! You want to be stuck in East Angular, where about 75% of all pubs are Greene King. Their IPA is utterly average muck. Abbot is passable, but not on in half their pubs...

There are many many nicer IPAs and none better than Cally's
