Mine has to be "Piston Bitter" made at the Beer Engine public hostelry (with micro-brewery downstairs) in Newton St Cyrs, near Exeter............lovely............

Over here. Harvey's (from Lewis near Brighton) Armada Ale. Its a sort of special summer beer - really hoppy and goes down a treat.

Well, assuming I get over to the Aachen game with the other SE/London reprobates this not-so-young man's springtime fancy will be a (good) few bottles of Maibock.

Unfortunately, like a St Pauli winning streak it is only produced for a few weeks of the year...

So many....

Chimay Blue label.

Thatchers cheddar valley cider looks just like orange squash always bring a few flagons over for some of the eck regulars they love it

Kingswood Pirate..I salute you...you are a true Westcountryman.....we're talking about beer......and you talk about cider....Oooooooooooooooooh..Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I embrace them all and will try anything. i came across a wee mexican number, negro modelo. its worth looking out for. pricey though

Slightly off topic, but. I was at a pub quiz on friday and one of the questions was to guess the quizmaster's favourite six beers. I think it may have been a fix

Being a Kentish lad, I'm particularly partial to Shepherd Neame, especially Spitfire and Masterbrew. Their 1698 celebration ale was best of the bunch though. I also like Harvey's and Broadside and proper Fullers London Pride and Rebellion. Actually, come to think of it, most real ales appeal to me! I used to visit Essen quite a lot in my youth and the Dampf brewery turned out some good stuff.

Getting thirsty now..................................off to open a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, kingswood pirate, is that your Rovers scarf in the St Pauli Eck? Partial to a pint of Thatchers myself, though the Cheddar Valley looks radioactive, so I drink the traditional. You can always tell the scrumpy drinkers in the Long Bar. They're the ones sitting quietly, dribbling, with silly grins, trying to catch imaginary flies!

Phil Bater was my best mate in junior school - good lad.

Hi Kingswood

I bet you wish you watched The Rovers out of one eye too

watch em out of one eye today in the pub for sure.new ground off the list or not cant be going to swansea for a shitty bubble match

In Worthing about 20 years ago I was drinking some bottled stuff from the Steam Brewry, but never saw it after that. Being mainly a lager drinker I don't really go in for real ales much, but you can't go wrong with a bottle of Astra

The Nelson Brewery at Chatham do an excellent range.......mmmmmmm!
