your favourite malted beverage if you please...

Rought!! The gauntlet is thrown down. Let's have them boys........

Spring: August Schell Maifest

Summer: Little Kings Light Cream Ale

Fall: Grain Belt Nordeast

Winter: Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Mind you now, this list is only good as a baseline reference. It is FAR, FAR, FAR from complete. The perfect brew is out there, I just have not lived long enough to sample it yet.

From NZ, I have imbibed and enjoyed Speights Old Dark and Emersons Bookbinder; in Australia, Swan Lager and here in the UK, Fursty Ferret and Fullers London Porter. Tiger in Singapore was OK, too....

I understand Fuller's made (or makes) an outstanding Special Bitter. Anyone?

No Westbone, I asked for YOUR favourite, not my wife's.

You on the juice already

Yeah I must be. She saw my reply and reminded me that Boddington's is her fav, Guinness a close #2.

I'm afraid to say that I've only truly enjoyed Guinness once and that was in Dublin; every other place I've had it, it seemed rough and harsh - it don't travel well!!

Haven't seen the Fullers Special Bitter..... yet!!!

That's the placebo effect.

Oooooohhh..... that's low........ underhanded....... dishonest.

I understand that Pilsner Urquell is the same. A freshly poored liter at the brewery and a bottle here in the U.S. have very little in common.

Hmmm... thirsty now... off to find a cold drink... bye!!

Hey, where did this thread come form, sneaky

Well you know mine, Bathams Bostin Best Biter brewed in the Black Country, but we wont go there

looks good on a bike too

But for a nice light ale in a bottle at home, it has to be Fullers organic Honey Dew

Just had one

Ahh, a Fuller's man, ehhhhxcellent! Do they make a Special Bitter, have you ever been, and could you please share if in the affirmative?

Cheers

Sadly there aren't many Fuller pubs in the Midlands, There's one in Brumigum but having not been to Birmingham for 30 yeas or so that doesn't help. luckily they have Honey Dew at the Supermarket & as its organic I'm aloud that

I rarely venture down the smoke (London) but have been known to imbibe in a drop of Fullers daft bitter when in the regone, Fullers have so many labels that your spoilt for choice, Westbone's your man, if you can get him off the Guinness long enough, there must be plenty of Fullers Pubs around by him

I can recommend Fuller ESB & I guess London Pride could be found even in Minnie SO ta, enjoy.

Yep, plenty of Fullers available round here, hic,

My local sells it with numerous guest ales available every week, Bishops finger, Goblin snot, Weavels Dew, Tons of weird names. My buddy drinks 'real ale' some good, some not so. Although they all seem to have the same effect on him.

Here's just a few of the many guest ales they have a the local pub.








Some of them taste like cat piss.

Hold the phone!! You KNOW what cat's piss tastes like?? :?: :?:

No, But I know what Bull Sh*t sounds like.

Touche~ Nicely played.

A proper pint...



Showing abit of proper lace...



Thank you Manchester. My eternal gratitude is yours.

Cheers, good health.
