Ales
Found some bottles of Fursty Ferret in the fridge that a friend was drinking last month and left here. Figured since I had no cold lager I'd give it a try and I'm loving it.
Can anyone recommend some nice ales for me to try out as I seem to have a taste for them now. |

My best suggestion is to head to a local Morrisons and pick up a few bottles. They have a good selection and their prices are very reasonable.
Today I did just that and have four bottles of Ale to get through - Holt 1849, Circlemaster, Old Thumper and Abbot Reserve in that order. I've just opened the Old Thumper and it's rather nice.

Sounds like a good idea. I normally only drink lager so it's nice to be drinking something with some flavour.

Let the FF warm up a bit, it'll taste even better

I best get the last bottle out of the fridge now then, almost finished the second.

The Badger range is excellent, especially First Gold and Golden Champion. Fursty Ferret (also Badger) is definitely in my favourites along with the Innis & Gunn range.

There's a chain of cheap supermarkets called B&M in my area - not sure how extensive they are though - who have a great range of whatevers available for 89p-£1.49 a bottle.
Very convenient to just grab a couple of whatever takes my fancy at the time.

It turns out that my local co-op does a "Badger Pack" with random Badger ales. Going to pick me one up to see what the others are like.

It probably contains Blandford Fly, which I despise, but other than that should be good!
