I know what you mean when my mrs wants to go to costco you would be suprised how often I only put one scooter on to charge and that means I have to sit in the car while the wife and daughter go on a spending spree

You know as im getting into my older age (29) im starting to go off Larger. Iv been having a tipple of bitter, cider an guiness as of late. But the last time i was in the tesco. They have an offer for 4 bottles of real ale for a £5. So i thought id give it a go. i went for....

Badger....golden champion

Bishops finger

Badger....Tangle foot

Gaymers.....Pear cider (it was also on the offer,an id never try'd it)


Not i must admit, the real ale's were utterly lovley. But i have to give special praise to the g.champion. Has any one try'd it? What a brew.

So i ask...is their any strange brews that people drink that we should all know about. Let us in to your secret.

Come on reidy spit it out lad, i want to know!!

nice one sharpy. i got in to this sort of ale my self a couple of summers ago. my brother swears by real ale. it's impossible to have a can of lager in his house. i'm right with you on the champion. the goliath is not bad, especially as the bottles are bigger!

mmm.. i could do with one now!!

Gaymers pear cider is superb.

Better than Bulmers Pear Cider, it doesnt taste much different form the normal Bulmers Cider!

But Merrydowns Cider is the nicest in all of the land

a couple of years ago when the number of poles started to rise, we were in asda and i said to the mrs," look at that, shows how many are here now they have a polish section" she wandered over to peruse the fare and gave me a dirty look as she realised i'd had her when she was faced with pledge, mr sheen and kiwi shoe polish.

I can't believe, in a thread of real ales people are mentioning ciders!!!!!

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

would some scrumpy not be classed as real ale ? i agree though bulmers etc isnt exactly real ale, suprised noone has mentioned any alcopops......dandelion and burdock for instance.
