River Cottage Stinger Ale (a nettle ale, subtle citrus flavour) - in conjunction with Badger Ales, 4.5%. Very tasty and great aroma too. A smorgasbord for the senses ;)

Fullers ESB
Stella, and lots of it. :)
I love ESB. Very much a fave in bottles. And McEwans Champion Ale... Friday evening nectar :)Quote:

Man, I love the Stella, but it goes down so fast. Not keen on ales to be honest, never really floated my boat.
When I was younger I had that problem. 5 pints of Stella and then I'd wonder why I got p---ed so fast! Then I realised. 4.7% versus 3.5% for a decent bitter :) Strong beers though are the best, and porters :) :) :)
Rob,
You need to try some decent pils type beers. Stella aint one of them!
In the pubs you might be lucky to find Budvar from the Czech Republic. That's a step in the right direction. Then you've got a whole range of German stuff.
Veltins pils from Dusseldorf is one of my faves or Augustiner from Munich.
Budvar Dark is a big favourite of mine... if you see it anywhere try it.
I'm less keen on the dark versions of Czech/Slovak beers with one exception - Martinsky Porter from the Slovak town of Martin.
