Just necked a pint of this in Weatherspoon's in West Kirby.

A really characterless bitter, but at £2-19, you can't grumble.

I find a lot of bitters taste like IPA'S.

Even at a couple of quid, I was not tempted to have a second.

And, you can sit outside because the road was closed. Might not be now, I'll have a look/pint at the weekend.

You can still sit outside (Roscoe Head) as I did last night. Only had time for one, which was a pity, as this was lovely.

I don't think I've ever had their wheat beer before:





Its really nice actually, a little spicy and quite a bit of various fruit flavours going on. Will have this again.

Tuborg Gold. All inclusive hol in Turkey. Not as bad as I thought, but looking forward to a good ale when I get home.

I was in Belgium back in 2002(ish) and they were talking about how it changed dramatically after they were bought out.

Have a try of their Dunkel Weissbier if you ever get the chance. I'd describe it as having an eclectic taste as it's all over the place, in a nice way.

80 and 70 shilling beers were all I could find when I first went to Scotland, 1989. I’m sure it was a reference to the amount of duty paid per barrel, I remember them being quite sweet. Great range of ale in The Roscoe these days.

One my favourite evenings was in the bar of the Cuilfail Hotel a bit south of Oban where I spent a happy few hours going up and down the 70, 80 & 90 Shilling ales on tap.

Ended up shredded as the 90/-was 7.2%

Stewarts in Edinburgh do a great 80/- if you can find it elsewhere

Been a while since I was in this thread. Has anyone mentioned the Wilde Child brewery?
