Beer

Just been up to the brewery to get a case of these in! Happy days!

£21.50 for £12 beers will do me. Tempted to get a mini cask though

Just had a pint or two of Ruddles County and I am pleased to report that the Ruddles kick is still there

 

[leedswolf]

Ruddles is average. There's plenty of much better ales around these days.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Definitely. It's frustrating being in the supermarket when it's full of bland tasteless ales when there are so many better ales on the market

I was more than happy with my pint of Ruddles. It was excellent.

It's obvious that you were. I wasn't disputing that. I was just expressing my opinion. Clearly I shouldn't have.

Sorry I did not mean it to come across like that.

No worries Frank. Your good health. TBF going back a few years now, Ruddles was a welcome oasis in a desperate desert of bland keg alternatives that the major breweries were churning out.

My Christmas supply is almost complete, just a collection to make from Enville Ales tomorrow and I'm all sorted.

Not drinking so much these days so the emphasis is mostly on quality (and freebies).

Has anyone ever sampled Imperial Russian?

 

[darlowolf64]

A few ales in ready for Christmas Day/ Boxing Day.... ( plus some already sampled )

Brother brought me some Dark Star: American Pale Ale for Christmas. Absolutely wonderful stuff - in my top 5.

Is there any way in which I can ignore this thread during January?

Nope.... I intend to post lots of pictures for you. :devilsmile:

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Shall I "sticky" it during January.......

 

[leedswolf]

Yep, stick it by all means.

I would certainly recommend Cooper's Pale Ale if you guys ever visit Australia.

 

[leedswolf]

Never had Cooper's when I've been to Oz. Which State is that from?

 

[VoM]

South Australia. But it is sold nationwide.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Yep, stick it by all means.

Yes but where????

Please do not answer that....
