keepitcovert 842 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 How many of you guys drink real ale, i cant stand the insipid taste of lager, stella, carling, and probably the worst lager in the world, carlsberg. Pub i use is a haven for real ale drinkers, and always busy, a rareity in these times. Thing that i have noticed is the age of some of the real ale merchants is now in the early twenties, it no longer seems to be the domain of the older generation, or that embarrasment to british culture [morris dancers] and folkies. whats your view.

redial 81 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Used to drink Carling buy the bucket. Until I started having gastric problems and was advised not to drink lager [too cold too much fizz] Started on Real Ale when I found the one's to my taste light ale hoppy love the stuff and you find some strong one's Thornbridge do a 5.9% called Jaipur and Wild Swan at 3.5% something for everyone. Hail the ale, Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
