I cant say...

However when I enter a temple to the Ale my preference is for the following (in no order) from the major producers...

Thiggys Old Pec

Abbot Ale

and

Marsdens Merry Monk (a really rare tipple).

However if I am in the neighbourhood of a micro-brewery then I have to go with the local water!

I tried a cider For the first time this weekend the first one I had was on special offer, Koppaberg, lime & strawberry it was non Alcoholic and only cost £1 a bottle, after that I had some in cans which was Alcoholic in pear premium cider which is made in sweden, it also comes in mixed fruit, I think its very nice, makes a change from the norm, thou I still love IPA, GOLDEN HEN, SPECKLED HEN, more light beers than dark ones.

Not brewed in St Austell it's brewed at Rock the other side of Cornwall but close same county.

Your right about the bottled stuff. The joys of a buy out and a bigger brewery cashing in on a decent beer

Wetherspoons has done a great job stocking all sorts of ales but to be frank most pf the m are just a name to me. But I do like Shepherd Neame - if you go to Faversham you can smell the brewery all over the town.

But my favourite has always been Youngs Special... but it has to be kept in good condition.

I definately agree there, if the otter has been left a week it tastes tinny, when you get the ale fresh its a lot different and better

I still have all of the pump clips in the shed

Ok, a quick definition

A real ale goes through a secondary fermentation process, usually in the cask, in a beer cellar, and is "live".

Therefore a lot of the quality of the beer depends in the cellar man.

Sometimes you will get a live beer in a bottle, with yeast sediment.

99% of all bottled beers are not "real" as they do not go through a second ferment. They might as well be in a can

However, the variety of bottled beers is good and encourages us to try them dowh the pub
