Beer, revisited

Before moving to France we lived in Hook Norton (Cotswolds) and had Hook Norton brewery in the village.........'Hooky Gold' is my all time favourite, only 4% but it's a beer you could drink and enjoy all night and not wake up wishing you hadn't!
Many moons' people ago I had Hook Norton mild, very nice it was, don't know if they still brew it.
 

That looks delicious, where did you get it from ?
From their website, picture too :)


It was very boozy but very enjoyable. Would deffo have it again.

Gorgeous mahogany ESB from a very local brewery (20 minutes walk), Good Chemistry, strong bitter toffee malt with a dry finish. Great to see a craft brewery making a first class English style beer.

Quite a few craft breweries are doing ESB, English porters and milds at the moment. I think the lack of pub is getting to them.

Have you had any Torrside beers? They do a lot of traditional styles. Lots of smoked beers too.

 

Why did the likes of Becks, Budweiser etc give me a terrible hangover, but when I started drinking Peroni, Moretti and my new one Primator premium (a Czech lager) etc I could have a fair few but wake up the next day feeling a 100 times better than drinking the former?

It can vary between things such as adjuncts used, water purity and acetaldehyde but it ultimately comes down to larger breweries cutting costs as much as they can to make the beer.
