Harviestoun Brewery make some good beers, you don't get many south of the border but they do an amazing beer thats 9% called Engineers Reserve and Ola Dubh at 8%, lovely but hard to get further than 50 miles from Alloa, unless you order online.

Was supping red kite ale from the Black Isle brewery in Edinburgh last night.  Lovely amber beer.  Mild laxative qualities though... Crying
Black Isle brewery beers have the same effect on my bowel as Pickfords.....move anything and fairly quickly.

Odd, I've never had a problem with Black Isle's stuff. Red Kite is gorgeous.

They're also ennured to the delights of rough cider. Who needs a colonic when you can have four pints of Rich's?

Rich's is a fantastic cider and wierdly never had the colonic effect on me, my local is Perry's in Ilminster not as refined as Rich's but just as tasty and a bit cheaper, Bridge Farm is also very good too just outside Yeovil on the A30 at Chinnock.

3Bs always gave me problems - even in the halcyon days of my youth.  Remember when it was the guest beer in an Edinburgh boozer (HP Mathers) about 7 or 8 years ago..   Pint

To me Rich's has always had a tad of the farmyard about it. They've got a 6,000 gallon vat named after Adge Cutler as well.

Hecks' is good stuff too.

From the Nøgne Ø Brewery

If you can get down to a Wetherspoons that has it before the end of the beer festival on Sunday there is a Nøgne Ø brown ale on tap that is completely lovely.

It's over near Street.

There's a great traditional cider maker whose name utterly escapes me for the moment, where you basically go in, pay £15, and get a good ploughmans lunch, and as much as you can drink from their 6/7 varieties.

I forgot who it's by, but Moonshine is a cracking pint. Crystal clear and strong as fuck.

Moonshine is Lilleys from Frome, I love Lilleys ciders.

That's the biscuit. Their Bee Sting is pretty great too for a Pear cider. Do they own Henry Westons or am I not remembering stuff right?

I don't think they own Westons but I could be wrong.

Bee Sting is my wifes favourite perry, we always get a few gallons in over Christmas, sweet but very drinkable.

Went through Gatwick yesterday, stopped in the Wetherspoons and was delighted to see that they still had some of this left. Big mistake, absolutely horrid. Flat, warm and dull, definitely festival left overs.

 Yuck

Still, I'm going to bring some bottles of it back with me tomorrow  Pint
