Best beer so far

[RSoles]

Ok, time to warn Atw about the horrors of 'bottle conditioned ale'.

Being a 'Continental' (no offence) you might be au fait with Wheat beer/weissbier/white beer where the sophisticated 'continental' way of drinking these beers is to scoosh (Practising my Glaswegian) the whole bottle, yeast and all, down into the glass.

Not so with 'bottle conditioned ale'. Pour carefully minus the sediment.

I don't know the chemistry behind it, but the yeast in German/Belgian/French/Canadien etc. white beers is dead so gives no problems if you drink it. In English 'bottle conditioned ale' it's very much alive.
Drink it and spend the next day on the toilet.

Mind you, I have met some folks who recommend a 'white shield' 'all-in'
as a cure for many ailments of the digestive system.

Yup, that's one of my favourite too - nice fruity taste.

But thinking of it, something of a Summer beer, Old Peculier is more to my taste in the Winter.

You cannot beat a good pint of Harveys (Sussex ALe)
better still Harveys Old (Mainly found in Pubs in Sussex during the winter)

Oh Yesss!

Here's another vote for Tanglefoot. Spent one contract pi55ed up on it virtually every night.

I love a beer, but some of these guys are bit too into it. Still, great site all the same.

Beware the slightly bitter aftertaste...

...and the short shelf life.

Great award-winning beer from Crouch vale - tried it many times in beer festivals and pubs.

Pleased to report I am tucking into a Badger Golden Champion Ale as I type. Being supped from a pewter tankard of course.

Its only 7pm, a bit too early to start drinking!
