Real Ale

[Macky]

I had a sip of Bishops Gleat yesterday not too shoddy.

That sentence is just wrong, wrong, wrong

Not to be confused with lemonade though. It's 5% alc/vol and I doubt whether it could be sold with a lemonade tag in the UK.

It's not just lemonade, it's hard lemonade.

A good, stiff drink then.

Indeed. Doesn't need to be served on the rocks.

Dash of Bailey's?

No sir. I've tried several of Brains seasonal beers and they tend to taste like a batch of SA that failed quality control.
However, if you're in the city centre I heartily recommend a pint of Wells Waggle Dance in the Wellington. Yum.

Brains' Reverend James is a cracking pint, one of my favourite ales. It actually gets better the more you drink of it. Smashing stuff.

Indeed it is, and not to be confused with their seasonal offerings.

Aviator from Dent goes down easy. NZPA from Hawkshead is fantastic but will bankrupt you within a month. Triple XBP is currently on tap, @ 8.5%, in their beer hall. I'll need to find a designated driver for that outing.
If anyone is up this way don't miss out on a trip to The Watermill, Ings. They seem to be working hard to replace most of the generic offerings with their own.

Brodie's Prime in the Tower Bank Arms. Food is excellent too. Lovely area.

Just checked the tariff. Feck me it's the Beatrix Potter factor. Pretty, but dull. It's not a bad place to play football though (Esthwaite Vale).
I'm going to have a swift Geltsdale, Hell Beck. ~Then pack an overnight bag. Malham and Ribblesdale on Tuesday. Single room @ £40, or bunk house (£12) + 3 course meal £15 + ales? The Golden Lion here I come.

Yep, 'fan' might be overdoing it a bit, if I'm honest, but I like what they're about and they make some tasty brews. I'd be in like a mad thing for the beer tasting if I was in that area, without a ****ing doubt.

I'm still kicking myself because I didn't buy brewdog shares, the offer was great, consoling myself with punk IPA and red wine tonight but if I'm near on the right night I'll be there.

Yeah I was typing in a rush, didn't really think it out. You know what I mean, £10 each and you get 5 beers thrown in and a load of cheese and meat, can't be bad. Wouldn't get change out of a tenner for 3 pints in most Camden bars.
