1698?

Have seen that in Asda but not picked it up to try yet....

Agree with both Abbot and IPA, certainly go down a treat, and there's a great pub on Tooley Street near London Bridge called The Kings Arms (It's not the one we went to that afternoon after you'd been at the Dr Who thing Feek

) which does a very nice pint of IPA as well as a remarkably impressive roast on a Sunday

No, it's not that one. I can't even check the empty as it's at MBs!

i'm a big fan of my good friend Pete's beer; www.thebrewcompany.co.uk
well not so much the pale varieties but the stout, porter & bock are amazing!

Other than those, Innis & Gunn or pretty much anything Trappist.

I quite like Speckled Hen but Pedigree wasn't one I'd go out of my way to get again. Newcastle Brown was the first ale I tried and I still enjoy it.
I usually drink Courage Directors when I go to the deco (nice alternativey pub which does several ales on tap).
I've not tried CircleMaster - hunting time methinks

Does nobody here drink Lager?

I am not on about Skol or Stella but imported and real British lager, I dont see what the fascination is with ale/stouts

I prefer a drink which isn't full of gas, it's a no brainer really.

About as close as I'll get is Hoegarden/Leffe/KWAK to lagers

and they're pretty far away still.
