A combination of commenting on the quality of Robinsons various offerings on the Vaynol thread and missing going to the pub, got me thinking about favourite beers.
Whilst supermarket beer selection is pretty good these days, a lot of my favourites aren't available and generally bottle conditioned just isn't the same.
A few of my favourites:
Pictish Mosaic - Brewed very locally to me and generally available in a few local pubs, this is my idea of a great session ale, even at 4.3%. Golden, subtle with the hops and just a hint of berry flavours.
Ginger Marble - Again, not brewed too far away and always worth a trip to the Marble Arch or their place in the Northern Quarter. Pretty mellow with a distinct ginger taste.
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA - An American style IPA, which often isn't my thing, but the hops are nicely balanced against citrus flavours. 5.9% so definitely not a session beer, but great in small volumes, especially with a curry.
Bradfield Farmers Belgian Blue - A winter ale, again something that isn't always my thing, but I love this stuff.
