I really like it as it's super chewy with loads of bite and nice and hign in alcohol.
It was my brew of choice for a while. Big-up Timmy Taylors BTW.

We only have two 'proper' Camra events a year, that one and one in Falmouth in the winter. There are lots of smaller ones, but they're usually in pubs or hosted by a brewery.
If anyone's not been, I really recommend going to a camra beer festival. Drinking halves sounds **** (really, don't try drinking pints ), but you get to try so much and the atmosphere is tops
Last time I found an amazing pink cider, and just THE best alcoholic ginger beer ever. I also won on the tombola and mo-fo'ing shut the box!

The landlord of the best real ale pub in town (and it really is great - around 10 real ales on, two fridges filled with beligum beer, ciders and perrys) has just opened a new pub where I live. Its a Banks & Taylor pub (Two Brewers Bitter is a great session beer) but usually has 2 or 3 B&T beers and the rest from all over the place changing weekly.
Tonights plan is to visit both pubs and sample as many real ales as my bladder will allow.
I live like a king tonight!

We don't have beards. Well. One of us does. But we do tend to wear silly hats and play strange games - a dice game called Perudo usually (also known as Devil's Dice).

I like my ales, I have a bit of a fetish for the St. Peters bottles! They *are* gorgeous. Tastes nice too.
I have to say though, for general supping, nothing beats Caledonian's output. Deuchars is nice but 80/- is amazing. I first tried it in the Outer Hebrides (on tap, of course) and it's a favourite of mine. Haven't found anything to beat its distinctive, smooth taste without a bitter aftertaste.
Otherwise as it's the summer it's time to stock up with Fuller's Honey Dew and Wells' Banana Beer. Both are gorgeous and summery.
