No idea if we have one already, but felt the need to start an alcohol related thread. Have had a couple of nice beers today....
First one is a Badger beer called Golden Glory- A very morish refreshing floral ale, would be lovely in the summer. Can taste a hint of peach.
Second one is a Castle Rock Beer called Harvest Pale- a lovely refreshing ale that I tried at the castle rock brewery but is now available at tesco.
Anyone on here have some good recommendations?

There was one a couple of years back...and my recommendations haven't changed.....Deuchars IPA (provided it is served at the right temperature) is the best, but I am very glad to be back in Wadworths' region as, for bitter, 6X still takes some beating.

What I would give for a nice pint of ale.
I've been limited to the local chemical beer for quite a long time now. Recently we had a german Paulaner bar open, 5 quid a pint and after three beers I was pissed as a fart.

Tesco value cider - £1.60 for 2 Liters. That's the way I roll!

The local stuff here which is part owned by Scottish and Newcastle can be pruchased for about 25p for a 500ml bottle. I once went to a restaurant that had a deal whereby you could buy it for the equivalent of 1p a bottle. A huge hangover followed the next day for about 20p

Wadworths Horizon is my favourite right now, although it is more of a summer beer - pale golden, citrus but very bitter.
The Three Castles stuff coming out of Pewsey right now always seems good, and if you ever see any of the Otley beers (O2, O3, O4 etc) they are a must try. Brains Dark is also close to perfection if you like dark beers.

Had a couple of Sambrook's Wandle on Friday which were well served from The Goat in Clapham.
My favourite to get off my face at the moment is Fullers Begal Lancer. Proper good ale that.

Was drinking Tribute Ale and Cornish Rattler cider in Cornwall last week, great stuff.
Went to a Cyder farm and bought a couple of bottles of Scrumpy, which didn't last long though.

If you like dark beers and are prepared to drink slowly then Chimay Blue is a must - it's quite sweet and 9% bv which is why it lends itself to being drunk more like wine than beer.

A 33cl bottle of the local bai jiu (60% rice wine) costs about 1.50 (quid). I've had it a few times, got incredibly drunk and now even the smell makes me want to vomit. Imported vodka and the like is probably the same price as the UK but most of its fake and does really bad things. |
