I quite like the logo!

And I've always liked the term "India Pale Ale" - I don't even know what it is, really, but it's got a nice Olde Worlde, British Empire vibe to it.  :lol:

India Pale Ales were originally brewed in the UK and then shipped to India for the expats. Because it's hot over there it was brewed to be refreshing and because it had to survive a long sea voyage it was brewed strong. A lot of modern IPAs don't have the strength sadly but those from The Kernal do and they're crazily good.

Here is a great book all about IPA by a friend of mine Pete Brown.

Hops and Glory: One man's search for the beer that built the British Empire

Here in the deep south we have this Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale that is amazing.... and whenever I go to New Orleans I get my fix of Chimey, Saison dupont,  Old speckle Hen, and Taj Mahal. Best is Portland Oregon with the largest amount of  microbreweries on any US city, and on top they have beers from all over the world, plus seasonals too. La vie e Belle...!!!

Stone IPA is the best IPA I've ever tried.

Their head brewer is very well trained and repected.

I'm a fan of IPA
Robinsons Brewery is very local and does good bitter.
Obscure but the best I've had is beinn dearg ale up in Ullapool.

Sharpe's Doom Bar is my new favourite session beer.

There is a bar I frequent near the train station in Newcastle that has this on the pump, I would drink little else if it was in every pub I go in, fantastic beer. 

Dent Brewery in a new one for me, they do a nice light session ale I had in a bottle last week... http://www.dentbrewery.co.uk/

I really like:
Mephistopheles Stout and Samael's Ale- Avery brewing 15.1 % ABV, 14.5% respectively and both delicious
Hoptimus Prime- Legacy brewing A great Double IPA and sadly they stopped brewing it, but I have a few reserve bottles!
Old Rasputin Imperial Stout- really good also

Whenever I travel I will make good use of this whole list of beers, did it with the Scotch one and it is great to have this information at the tip of the hand. Cheers!!!

I really like beer and I take it that I'm not the only one at the forums. But what is/are your favourite/favourites?

Lancelot's "Dame blanche" and lately our local brewer Mascaret. Yeah, fairly unknown beers, I know ;)

Paulaner Hefeweisen in the minikeg is my all time favorite, but they stopped selling them. Out of smaller containers, I like Guinness, Boddington's and Murphys in the pint(and near pint) cans and Blue Moon in the 12oz can.

I like beers with some sort of flavor. Can't stand lagers or pilsners. $%&#in pussy beer.

Tennant's Super drunk under a motorway bridge is a favorite.

Or a shot of Directors bitter.
