Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
Get to your local offy and buy two or three bottles of ale/beer and try them tomorrow evening. I would suggest you start with the blondes? Pale ales like Taylor’s or maybe the summer ales that are increasingly popular today.

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
I'm not fond of beer.......ssssh.......I will whisper this........sometimes when I take out the empties there is just a drop in the bottom ........and I have been know to test it.......but it doesn't taste nice.
I am sometimes allowed to have a whisky and sofa..........or a gin and chronic.......but I have to have been very very good! |

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
Thwaites East Lancs Brown Ale knocks Newky into a cocked hat anyday, Poured into a half pint glass its superb. A dark rum chaser tops it off lovely.
Old Peculiar is always a favourite Fullers ESB is a nice session beer. As is HobGoblin. I prefer the stronger ales, Quality, not quantity so stuff like Gold label does satisfy me(with a Wood's 100 rum chaser  )however I do like stuff around the 6-8% mark. It holds a much better 'condition' than the weaker stuff.Going back a few years though I used to love Big Ben and Old Dan from Thwaites, topping up a half of Mild.(A good pint of Thwaites Mild is superb, Mitchells Mild used to be awesome, shame they stopped brewing.)

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
Amen to that entwisi. Hobgoblin, Humbug and the witches are all favourites. Gold Label is one from my past that was over done and I could never face another one.

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
My favourite by far, Low 'C'! I used to drink it by the crate load and not an inch on my waist, I have been drinking Carling lager for a while now and can see the start of a little paunch so I'm dead set on reverting back to Low 'C' if only I knew what it had changed its name to
 ?

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
you cant beat ale freshly pulled from a cask!if the ale is sat in the cellar and allowed to mature right you are obviously getting a stronger drink than what it is supposed to be,you dont get that in bottles otherwise there would be bottles popping all over the place.Have you noticed that when you open a bottle its head goes very quick.tinkers once a year you can get resolution out of a cask at the same strength as the bottle and maybe stronger this is only brewed in january but its bloody good stuff.

Re: Talking Bottled Beer.
I can vouch for the ales seved at the Drunken Duck Inn between Ambleside & Coniston, in the Lake District.
The ale named Tag Lag, after one of their sheepdogs, is mighty damn fine out of a bottle; but as Staggers' says, they taste far better out of a cask. The rest of the Barngates Brewery's portfolio are equally tasty. Tag Lag is the only one that I have had the pleasure of from a bottle though. Here's the link to the Drunken Duck Inn & Barngates Brewery website: http://www.drunkenduckinn.co.uk/brewery.htm
