Adnams is brewed down the road from my home town ... draught Adnams from a good country pub is the best drink in the would. Mmmmmm.

I'm a real ale fan although I do drink lager sometimes depending on my mood. My favourites in no particular order:
Hopback Summer Lighning Fullers London Pride Marston's Pedigree Crouch Vale-Brewers Gold ( When I get hold of it )Fullers Organic Honeydew I'll think of others no doubt. |

I loveeeeeeeeeeee Bishops finger and Black sheep the best. My hubby thinks I am weird!! I love it when they are on offer at sainsbury's. I'll try pretty much any real ale once.
I was in a pub in North Yokshire a few years back and my Dad and I had a really nice white ale, so fruity and refreshing, never found anything in a bottle that matches it! |

Just tried Badger pumpkin ale... oh my this is one of their best.
Does anyone know where this can be bought in bulk? Sainsburys seems pricey at 1.69 a bottle if drunk regularly... seems to be excluded from their current badger multibuy You can get it in bulk from the Badger Brewery shop but thats not a lot of use to you being so far away ! |

Only recently started drinking Real Ales but I've already found some fantastic beers, so much better than that John Smiths shite I used drink.
Favourites so far are Hobgoglin, Blacksheep, Riggwelter, and Old Raby ale. |

Wychwood's Fiddlers Elbow is my current favourite (4 x 500ml bottles for £5 at Bargain Booze), loads of flavour and very easy to drink.
...followed by Jennings' Sneck Lifter (3 x 500ml bottles for £5 at Asda). |

I've got 2 x Marston's Double Drop and 2 x Well's Bombardier today.
£5 at Bargain Booze and all very decent ales. ![]() These days the only alcohol I like is Real Ale or Real Cider. |

What are your favourite's at home? I find that of course real ale is best from the tap but what are your favourite canned or bottle beers?

For me..... any Fullers Ale, especially 1845, Pride and the London Porter. Also Black Sheep is lovely, plus honourable mentions to Summer Lightning and Conniston Bluebird.
Not to mention my own homebrew beer too! Brewed properly from Malted Barley and Whole hops(not from a kit i have to add)........ and not bad at the equivalent of 50p a pint ![]() See ![]() http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...y/DSCF3984.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...o/DSCF3882.jpg |

Bathams but if you don't live in the Black Country there's very little chance of getting hold of some and before someone says "I can get it and I live in..." so can I, however I wouldn't want to divulge my source

I'm having a few pints of Riggwelter tonight. Lovely stuff with a slight aroma of burnt chocolate and lots of malty hoppy taste. 5.7% vol but very easy to drink.
RIGGWELTER Black Sheep Riggwelter Riggwelter: from the Old Norse words "rigg", meaning back or shoulder and "velte", to overturn. If a sheep rolls over onto its back and can't get up without help, local Dales dialect says it is rigged or riggwelted. Riggwelter is a full flavoured strong Yorkshire ale brewed using our unusual Yorkshire Square fermentation system. The result is a well balanced, deep chestnut coloured ale. With its distinctive roast malt, Golding hops and banana fruit aromas, Riggwelter has the strongest and most complex flavour of all the Black Sheep beers. * ABV 5.7% * 500 ml bottle http://www.blacksheepbrewery.co.uk/B...iggwelter.aspx 3 bottles for £4 at Asda |

I tried a new beer over Christmas, I've not heard of it before. It is called Braksphere. Brewed in Oxford. I really enjoyed it.

Tonight I've got:
1 x 500ml bottle of Thwaite's Lancaster Bomber (4.4% and very easy drinking) 3 x 500ml bottles of Well's Bombardier (5.2% vol and a very tasty ale indeed, probably my favourite that Bargain Booze stock) Unfortunately Bargain Booze have put their prices up so the offer is now 3 bottles for £4.50 instead on 4 bottles for £5. |

Summer Lighening, Wetherspoons used to have it on draft, it now appears to be confined to Waitrose!
