    Another fan of Theakstons Old Peculiar....

    Also, Lancaster Brewery do a lovely stout, cant remember its name though, might only be available locally

    Also, Sneck Lifter is another commonly available and one I find very enjoyable.

    Robinson's Old Tom is a fantastic winter warmer. I once went to a beer festival where they sold it in pints. I had one, and someone else didn't like theirs so I had that as well then I collapsed. I had been drinking 6X all afternoon waiting for the festival to open in the evening as it was its first night though...

    Being ghey tonight though and drinking Fosters left over from a barbeque we had a couple of weeks ago.

    Well found out that the Supreme Champion Beer at the Camra Beer festival is brewed up the road from me at West Station Yard - Maldon.

    Mighty Oak Oscar Wilde was named Best British Beer

    I've started trying out the Ales when I go out to a pub now.
    They're cheaper than the nasty-piss lager too so it's win-win

    I'm liking some of the more obscure stouts, but I do tend to try 'one of each' and wake up with a slighly fuzzy head

    Trying everything at a beer festival usually fields similar results.

    The tactic of just trying half of each doesn't really work!

    i like to keep a good range at our place, obv got the regular stuff like abbot and ruddles, guest ales i source from locals such as butcombe, bath, cotleigh, cottage and exmoor as they do some good beers. other's i've just had are bombadier, hobgoblyn, old empire. stouts dont seem to sell that well this time of year so prefer slightly lighter beers

    at GBBF they do thirds

    Although you still pretty much have to stick to one type or you'll still end up screwed

    brewferm grand cru is on the go at the moment, wont be ready till october at the earliest. (8% )
    Ibrew lager being drunk at the moment, not bad but a bit metallic for me, really. Have an Ibrew bitter to do as well.
    I bought a lot of bottles and then with the purchase of a couple of crates of "manbeer" i now have a LOT of bottles...
    Went down the west country last week and had a very hoppy bottle, i kept the bottle too, so i could see what it was called...i'll grab it when i get home.
