Seeing we got a Whiskey Galore going I thought I add one for beers I like a good Ale either something like Owd Roger or Chimay Red or White are particular favourites Brewed to a recipe believed to be over 500 years old, OWD RODGER is Marston's award winning 7.6% strong ale. Brewed using malted barley, English aroma hops and well water, Owd Rodger offers an explosion of rich fruit flavours with a dry bitter-sweet finish. Drinking to much of this turns me into Marvin the Paranoid Robot  |

Not a beer person but I will always accept a Guiness. Our local bar out here serves a very nice cold pint and the supermarket has the cans.

Owd Roger! - student days saw me drinking a pint or two of that! A couple of place that sold it would only do it in half pints though.

Huge pale ale fan here as well as living in the North West, the best ale makers in the world.  Everyday favourite is Thwaites Wainwright a wonderfully fresh golden ale. Fan of American IPAs like Goose Island. Not a big lager drinker but like the hoppy Czech ones like Pilsner Urquell. |

I seem to have your taste in beer so thanks for the tip on Thwaites Wainwright, I'll give it a try at the first opportunity!  |

Aaah now we are talking!
Innes and Gunn, rich oak and toffee flavours with various casks used to develop flavours. Outstanding Edinburgh product.
Deuchars IPA - get a decent pint of this and it's hard to stop. Sure it goes into my legs.
Williams brothers brews - Joker IPA is nice but there's something in the range for everyone.
I'm not a big drinker (anymore)and now prefer quality over quantity.
Cheers!

Nice, John!
Does anyone remember a brewery called Usher? They used to make a very fine Fruit Beer among others.

Yes I remember Ushers - lovely flat warm southern beer! (I like flat, warm southern beer!)

I used to love a good pint of Smiles best. Burton Ale was also rather good.
It's been a while since I had a proper beer, but I have just found a forgotten about case of Thatchers Vintage.
Cider me up, bar man.

Whoa, loving this thread, real ale connoisseurs unite!
Deuchars IPA, that's one that takes me back, wonderful. From a little lower down the country how about Jennings Sneck lifter, fabulous.
I like the Thwaites SA, that's Skull Attack for the uninitiated.
Into the Midlands now, a new favourite of mine: Holdens Dragons Blood, if you get a chance try it.
One of my favourites as well from London is Fullers ESB, a sucker for that anytime.
I've been to a 'Green Beer Festivel' in my time, that's interesting (staying over at the venue helps).
Always up for trying new ones though.........
Hic, Alan

If you want to go back in time a few hundred years then give the Dunham Massey ales a go.

They do a real East India Pale Ale, unlike American style who love the "pow" of the dry hops this one is perfectly balanced with lots of malt to add a sweet subtle hop finish, despite a lot of hopping!

Just returned from Belgium, which is a beer lover's paradise.
Tried the trappists, lambics and some others. Decided that this dark nectar is probably the best beer I know, bar none. At 7% (the Blue is 9%), you sip it gently.

I love Red Chimay and White the Blue a bit to heavy for me

Have you tried Jenlain ambré Martin, a very good run against Chimay.
It's now 7.5% which is a bit too strong in my opinion, some years ago it was 6.5%, and a better taste really.
Cheers, Alan
