CAMRA Real Ale Vouchers

[herthab]

I'm not young or groovy - I look like a cross between Gollum and William Hague but I don't have a beard and I always drink pints not halves.

Anyway in the name of balance - anyoen who drinks lager is a mono-browed, asbestos-livered mouth-breather.

You must know me!

I've met you Sippo and you don't have a beard, or wear tweed jackets with leather elbow patches.

Why are you interested in CAMRA?

Good beers. One thing I hate is pubs that don't clean their pipes. You should go to a beer festival.

I guess I'm lucky in that I can drink lager, bitter, stout or mild as the mood takes me, so long as it's good stuff.  Walking down the pub on Friday after work, it's a nice feeling deciding what I'll drink.  I've been drinking a lot of black lagers recently...however, I will now open a bottle of Ukrainian wheat beer.

I was drinking quite a bit of Farmer's Christmas Stout this week in an old man's pub in Maldon. The beer was excellent, although quite pricey at £3 a pint.

 Likewise...depends on mood, pub, weather, time of day, time of year etc.

Totally agree Beer festivals are quality. Chippenham used to have a decent one, not sure if it's still going. Dodgy beer lines are shit but sometimes its a dodgy barrel as well which pub managers should declare as ullage and gets picked up or disposed of by a technician.

absolutely. I default to Guinness, but will drink anything that isn't made of apples.

Cider is the drink of gods.

[Sippo]

At the beerex the ciders were immense. Real Cider I mean, not strongbow/magners/other crap. At 7.8% you cannot go wrong.

Well you can like me, because if you drink too much your gut kills the next morning.

[herthab]

Some of the ciders down here are fucking lethal. There's one called Black Rat. I've seen hardened beer drinkers reduced to gibbering wrecks after a session on that.

Nasty shit.

If you're gonna drink cider then there is only one choice, Cheddar Valley.

In nmy early/mid 20s I used to drink lager in summer and beer/ales in winter as a rule, but as time has gone on I've dropped drinking lager almost completely.  In summer these days I tend to go for IPAs...which I'm really quite in to now.  A great style of beer.

Wash four pints of that down with a couple of bottles of Natch and see if you can still find your way home :-)

I used to drink guinness in winter and lager in summer, but I tend to stick to the black stuff all year round now. Can't beat a Guinness.

Seconded.
