Since moving down to Dorset I have developed a very keen taste for Ringwood 49er, just right for drinking, standing by the fire in the Haven Inn on Mudeford Quay whist it lashes down outside.
Since moving down to Dorset do you actually do anything BUT drink? No, why, whats your point? just mixing with the locals  |

I supppose we could just wander round the country now doing "Best beer near here"
If you are in north Herefordshire/south Shropshire don't miss the chance to drink Woods Bitter
Floppin' marvellous and could give Adnams a run, if only it was a good traveller. it aint!
Brewed at Wistanstow, at or near the Plough.
I could tell tales of recovering a recovery truck (yup!) after a lunch on Woods' at the Clive Arms on the A49 on the afternoon that it decided to snow and close Clee Hill...
Maybe at the Stella Bar in a couple or three months..
Funny thing about Bass
on very rare occasions it can be very close to a great sippin' beer, but usually it resembles a delightful mixture of catpiss and sweaty socks gently simmered in an infusion of elderly underpants...

Although I generally have Bass or and decent Bitter.
How the hell can 'Bass' and 'decent bitter' be used in the same sentence - mutually exclusive. My local doesn't sell Gales, Fullers, Marstons etc etc. Only Bass and Speckled Hen. |

Considering it is a "south midlands" beer it's odd that I had to go to east Anglia to sample my first pint of Specky
In a pub up in the broads

Cannot remember its name (or much else for that matter!) But there is a cracking little pub East of Domfront in a village called Champsecret that we call in enroute to LM that does a local artisan number produced in a little ex pat micro brewery. Its nectar. Highly recommended. A cold leffe on Blue Sud after 2 hours of setting up camp takes some beating too!

Termie, have you or yours ever tried their special Chistmas brew?
Knocks your head off.
Steve since Morlands have migrated that explains a large lot!
Ffelinfoel Bitter, anyone tried that out of a keg, served from a jug in a little Cardiganshire pub on a hot summer day
I'd never be able to find the pub again but with the out-laws one summer searching their roots, what a find...

....... so now brewed in Bury St Edmunds (East Anglia)
Reminds me of a time many years ago when Tony Prattburn, on the radio, was reading a request from 'Janet', who lives in Bury Street, Edmunds........ Incidentally, GK's Abbott Ale used to be a fine pint, but I've not had any for yonks. And I would endorse Mr B's view of Adnams - my local regularly has it as his 'guest' beer. It obviously does travel well, as it's the opposite side of the country to where it's brewed. More local to me is the Otter brewery (no they don't use the animals - it's located in the Otter Valley in Devon) and I'm rather partial to their 'Beer' (not to be confused with their 'Ale', which is weaker and not so good).

Delboy, that may be The Wonderful Broadside then which is brewed specially tough to allow it to travel better
But if not, and it is indeed "ordinary" Adnams Bitter don't keep it secret I will be paying homage every time I go to the West Country...

Bill I've been acquainted with this pub since I was a child, I grew up at the foot of Brown Clee. What about the Three Tuns in Bishops Castle, they have had their own on site micro brewery for about three hundred years, you must have had that sometime? |
