Not developed the taste for it yet. To me real ale tastes like someone has set fire to a hedge then put it out with water and afterwards bottled that water!!!

Will have to stick to Morretti

Not a bad pint. Then again any real ale is better than fizzy lager crap.

Been drinking it since I was a teenager. Banana beer is good. There is a chocolate one too which is a nice alternative

Black pepper beer. It actually comes with a sachet of black pepper if you want to add more. Its really nice. Not what you expect at all.

I do like the cherry or raspberry beers in the summer as well. But you get pissed from the knees upwards.

Real ale seems like one of those things every body raves about and I really want to like but I know deep down will be a disappointment. *see cigars and whiskey.

This weather seems the perfect time to find out.

I love real ale and am fortunate to work in a very popular real ale pub.

Dark ale choice= Mwnci nel ( Nant brewery)

Light and hoppy choice = Atlantis (great orme brewery).

We have an excellent real ale pub opened recently in town. The beers are fantastic. Best pub I've been to in many a year!

We both love real ale. Go to Wetherspoons they do a real ale festival twice a year so we try lots of different ones. We also look for real ale pubs. Had a beer called pennine ale at the weekend it was lovely. Broadside is a nice beer too but much better when in Norfolk.

We also noticed lots of micro breweries popping up. There's even a few in Newcastle.

I once stumbled into a Real Ale pub - I could tell from the combined beard length of the drinker.

Hello all,

we are fortunate in Britain that we have such a range of real ales with a huge range of flavours that should suit everybody's taste.

For those that say they don't like it try a few more and the chances are you will like some of them. Most bars\pubs will let you have a taste if you aren't sure. There is the possibility of a beer that is off because that's the nature of the beer, if the bar staff are not on their toes. Simply take it back.

I like a bottle of Hobgoblin. Tried quite a few ales. Partial to Harveys Bonfire boy served only on November 5th at Lewes.

So may out there to choose from. It's overtaking the lager as I think ale agrees with more people.

Lager gives me a headache and it makes me gassy.

I doubt Beer will ever overtake Lager in sales.

When I was growing up, "Real Ale" was known simply as "Beer". Maybe its a yokel thing?

(NB: the other styles of drink were known as "lager" and "that cream flow shite" respectively)....

Like a real ale myself. Two of my favourite breweries up here are Innis and Gun and Brewdog.
