ALE! What is your favourite? What have you been drinking? - Page 3

Like Feek, I tend to change my opinion regarding ales and find it really difficult to pick a favourite.

Certain ales seem to find their way into my supermarket basket on a regular basis though: These include Theakstons Old Peculiar, Greene King IPA, Ruddles County, Old Jock, Innis and Gunn and pretty much any Badger ale.

Edit: About the only lager, so far, that I am happy to drink regularly is Staropramen. I find most lagers tasteless - basically, fizzy water with chemicals added.

Last night I was mainly drinking Broadside and can report that it gets me tiddly and gives me an interesting hangover.

My favourites are Doom Bar

Which, awesomely, they sell at a pub right near my mate's house down in Fulham

And Skinners Betty Stoggs which I always have when I go home

I have beer, currently supping a bottle of McEwans Champion.

Quote:

McEwan's Champion ale (7.3% abv) recently labelled as McEwan’s No. 1 Champion is an extremely sweet beer with flavours of toffee. The toffee persists into the finish, along with burnt oak. It has a sweet texture, with scents of caramel, malt and oak. A creamy head tops this dark beer.

It's slipping down well.

urk, I think that's bloody awful, far too sweet for my liking.

Goes well with chocolate.

Now moved onto Adnams Broadside.

I got very drunk on Broadside just a couple of weeks before Christmas

There used to be an old Dutch barge in Peterborough which they turned into a floating pub, I got mullered on Broadside with my old mate Kev. I don't remember getting home that night but I do remember the kebab.

I'm spotting a theme here. We got to the second pub around half eight and I have no memory of that night at all from some point after that until midnight when I remember standing outside the pub and upchucking onto the floor between my feet. It was icy cold and it froze on the pavement! We had to walk back to the hotel (around two miles) because there was an hours wait for a cab. I'm told that we all had food, I ordered and ate the meal, but I have absolutely no recollection of it whatsoever!

I've never, ever had that sort of memory loss before. Ever
