Whiskey!
It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.

Everyday tipple: Peroni Nastro Azzuro.
When I can find it (it's shockingly expensive over here): Oud Beersel - Oud Kriek. (the only lambic I've found that isn't sickeningly sweet)
When I've been to Belgium I tend to bring a crate of Westmalle Dubel back with me. To be drunk from a goblet of course!

When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

largely depends on mood.

William Worthington's White Shield is probably my overall favourite beer.  just a perfect strong IPA

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

Burton Bridge Bitter/stairway to heaven is the one i usually drink when out - often because i am in a Burton bridge pub

I will never miss a pint of Timothy Taylor's landlord when i see it on pump.

Pedigree used to be spectacular in Burton, awful everywhere else.  It just didnt travel well.   They seem to have sorted that out, but to me it seems a much more generic pint than it used to. 

Brew Dog seem to be doing some fun stuff, the quality is certainly there, the flavours can be a bit in your face

I am  also currently really enjoying Negro Modelo.

I now work for a brewery which means i get quite a lot of free beer :)


The wife really likes lemon anime, beer for non-beer drinkers ???  i dont see the point

Brew Dog do seem to be a welcome shot in the arm for modern British brewing... Shame they weren't at the last GBBF.  :(

The nicest glass of beer I've had in ages was a Leffe when I was in a restaurant in Calais last year - it was amazing.

I don't really drink much any more, when I do it'll be on a night out so anything cheap and watery to get smashed with :lol: I've completely gone off dark and heavy ales, my favourite used to be Hobgoblin. I went to a beer festival last summer and had some dark ales and had the worst shiteees of my lifetime so thats put me off them somewhat. I do quite like Badger Golden Glory or Champion though :)

Saying that I think this was one of the most satisfying beers I've had, more the location and situation than the beer :D

1. Green King - Abbot Ale  (Suffolk)
2. Hicks - Special Draft (HSD)  (Cornwall)
3. Fullers - ESB  (London)
4. Gales - HSB  (Sussex)
5. Ringwood - Old Thumper & 49er  (Hampshire)

I tend to drink the 'local' (to where I am at the time) brews.
As I now live in The New Forest (SW Hampshire), my 'local' brews
when I'm at home, are from The Ringwood Brewery.
'Old Thumper' and '49er'  are both splendid brews !
Good English ales - you can't beat 'em !   8)

Although, some of the Trappist monk beers from the Belgium monastrys,
are superb. But I don't get to Belgium much these days.  :(

my local have started doing 'Bengal Lancer' from Fullers. The label on the tap looks shite, so I was avoiding it for ages.. but the other night it was the only ale left so I tried it. Its really tasty!! Great IPA, gwEm recommended ;)

I also like 'Hophead' from Redemption Brewery
