Adnam's Broadside. Fuck me. Just because ruby rhymes with doobie, you shouldn't combine the two without making sure you are very comfortable first. I'm sat here in an office chair at a desk trying to play football manager listening to hi-nrg tekkno I can't be arsed to turn off. Fantastic bloody beer this. |

I have become rather partial to Fuller's Seafarers of late, they serve it in my local. I do need to start trying some new ales though, I only graduated to bitter from lager early last year and as such I am rather inexperienced in this new world of drinking that has opened up to me. |

Delerium Tremens is probably my absolute favourite Belgian beer. I've gone off Brugse Zot, even the unfiltered stuff they have on tap at De Haave Mann (though I did buy a silly hat last when I was there in February). Thankfully no sign of going off Leffe Blond or Bruin, them being so available here. I like many, many other Belgian beers. Unfortunately, I can't remember them now. Put the bottle in front of me and I'll be probably be able to recognise it and whether or not I like it though (that isn't a challenge). |

They're both good (well, red and blue Chimays), yes. Fly on the Loaf in Liverpool has quite a few Belgian beers including those and Delerium Tremens. And some nice German ones. I miss it. I really should have kept a list of all the ones I've tried, it's got to be well over 100 by now. |

I'm in your forums bumpin your old threads. Hrm Beer. My favourite subject. I try not to drink any bad ones, so I can't comment on that. That being said, stouts, porters and ESB's are my faves. My favourite beers that you lot can get over there: Hook Norton Double Hook Norton Old Hooky Hook Norton 12 days (see a theme?) Otley 01 Adnam's broadside Zerodegrees pretty much everything, though fancy the mango in summer Brains Dark/Black Fullers London Porter fullers ESB Fullers London Pride (standby) Timmy Taylor's Landlord Any of the vintage Thomas Hardy's Anything Mikkeler There's that one place in Cardiff, big selection lots of american beers too. Same kind of place in Borough market as well, though mighty inflated prices. |

Actually i'm not too happy with the brewery these days, but the Brewdog IPA is ok. I'm not sure they are still selling the variety of American beers but: Discount Supermarket 97-99 Whitchurch Road, Cardiff CF14 3JP, United Kingdom 029 2061 9049 Place in borough market has a better selection, but a bit of a hike i'd suppose. My friends over there order from: http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk as they have american tipples. |

I strongly approve of Tripel Karmeliet being on beerlens. It's what I usually end up drinking at the bar I know in Manchester (, England) that does Belgian and German beers. It's one of my very favourite Belgians (along with Delerium Tremens) and I've tasted more than a hundred in Bruges over two trips. The barman has told me of two other bars in town that stock wider ranges. I'm looking forward to finding them. I really need to bung an order in at Beer Merchants soon; I keep being distracted by British real ales in actual pubs, unfortunately. |
