Has Kaiserdom found its way to Blighty's sunny shores? It's available out here and makes a bloody good alternative to lager.

I've not seen it yet in London Town.

I've got into pale ales recently. Queenstown ale in my local is very nice but at £5.65 a pint is a rare treat!

I've been on an ale exploration recently, discovered some nice beers from my local brewery Sambrooks but tried a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale yesterday, pleasantly nice.

Any recommendations for me to try?

Golden Glory is my fav. Don't often find it on draught though.

Try the app 'Untappd'. You can 'check in' beers you try and it recommends similar offerings.

Untappd is great, but I feel like a bit of a geek when stalling on ordering as I want to see the average scores, and whether I've had it before, and then taking a picture of my beer...

sonic - if you're in London (I presume, I'm pretty sure Sambrook's is London) and looking for Pale ales then there are loads of local brews to choose from.  I love The Kernel brewery's stuff, so if you see a bottle of Table Beer then get that.  Five Points Brewery is also good, as is The CronX (from Croydon), and Meantime has a load of interesting beers, but also good tasty "standard" beers too.

Just bought a new lots of bottles so...

Some of the best stuff I've had lately has been from Tiny Rebel. They are in Newport (the worst one) but their beers are superb - the One Inch Punch and Oat Smoked Stout were some of the best. Really consistent brewery.

Wiper and True from Bristol are well worth a look too. They have a pretty big range of brews so sometimes I really like one but never see it again. Their milk stout (Milkshake?) was very good as is their black IPA with Gloucester Brewery.

Worth mentioning are also Art Brew of Devon, Mad Hatter from Liverpool and Bristol Beer Factory - but they are much easier to find than the others mentioned.

Did the Bermondsey beer mile on Saturday - absolutely excellent way to spend a Saturday.

Bristol Beer Factory's Southville Hop is one of the greatest beers of all time for me, along with Thornbridge's Jaipur.

Anyone got a good beer pub crawl in Swindon?  I presume that you'd start at the GluePot and work your way up to The Steam Railway, but then you're missing out Wroughton, RWB and Cricklade's pubs which seems a shame.  Still, would expect 8 good pubs on that route?

edit - GluePot > Sir Daniel Arms ? > The Beehive >The Roaring Donkey > The Hop Inn > The Plough > The Royal Oak (not been since it was re-done) > The Wheatsheaf > The Steam Railway

I tried a Kernel Pale Ale yesterday, very nice it was indeed.

I've been looking on Untappd and ratebeer but the most highly rated are all Stouts which I'm not particularly keen on.

Cheers for the tips all. I going to try and not drink the same beer twice this year.

Another mention of Thornbridges' Jaipur, need to try that.

London is a mecca at the moment for 'craft' brewers. Not just London actually, all around the country.

Marks and Spencer do a good variety of ale from British brewers.

I'd recommend Camden Town Brewery, Beavertown and Four Pure.

Jaipur is outstanding. Pure nectar  Cloud 9

Incidentally if you fly to Norway from Gatwick James, they have it in the Flying Horse 'spoons in South Terminal departures. Consistently for the two years that I was flying from there.

Fourpure is one of the breweries on the Bermondsey beer mile, and my favourite. Partizan and Brixton are other favourite London breweries of mine. Beavertown neck oil and the Kernel's Pale Amarillo are great too.

As it happens I am flying to Norway from Gatwick next month... Thanks for the heads up.
