So far this week, I've been enjoying:
Hawkshead IPA
Fuller's ESB
Shepherd Neame's Bishop's Finger
Badger's Tanglefoot
The week is young though. I'm hoping to pick up a rather large stash of Brakspear and HSB tomorrow.

Those bad boys are ace, good stuff! I just found a bottle of 1698 under my bed (yeah, that's how I roll), so I'll be cracking that open now.

Brew Dog's ok. ish. I've only ever had Trashy Blonde, but it's seriously shit value for money. My dad bought me 2 330ml bottles of it and he worked out he'd paid the equivalent of 4 quid a pint
If it sounds good, listen to it

I got myself some Walsall brewery, Davenports for tonight. I have six beers from the same brewery, so hopefully ill find one I enjoy.
Davenports Original Bitter - im not even kidding right, I love this ale - both me and my dad (I give him a shot glass worth of every pint I have to give him a go too) are hoping that the rest of the beers are this good. Very deep flavour and goes down really smoothly.

Re: The Ale Thread.
Try the guest ales
Also, a generally safe (and often cheap) option is Ruddles County. Something like £1.35 a pint in my local 'spoon

Go to the bar, observe the taps, and go from left to right.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT THE SQUARE PEG, BIRMINGHAM - The Square Peg in Birmingham is the longest bar in the United Kingdom. You wont even get a fraction up it, apart from the fact that alot of the beers get duplicated as you go up the bar anyway, so theres not much point.

Re: The Ale Thread.
Bottle of Marston's Oyster Stout at the minute. It's alright, but nothing special. Like most Marston's beers really.
