Title: What's your favorite obsure English beer?
Post by: Mongo on October 30, 2003, 03:14:00 pm
Of course Boddingtons and Samuel Smith's beer are the obvious ones, what about some other's that are a challenge to find?

 The fresh field in the district on P st normally has something good.
 
 they have Belhaven, right now, which is Scottish.

 you could always bring your grannie cart, board the bus, and then load up on beer and bring it back on the bus, in your oh so stylin grannie cart.
 
 they may be ugly, but those grannie carts come in use!

And if that picture is Mankie, it must be a blood relation, the eyes and chins are very similar. Fortunately for Mankie, he is not a ginger.

I got those Tetley's for Lulu at the Liqour store on the corner of Connecticut and Calvert on my way to walking over to your place.  Sherry's is it?  That was also month's ago.

Vansmack, sherrys has been going downhill since you left. It was awful last time, well apart from the 12 pack of yeungling for $9.
 
 And thanks Jag...... I was never curly. Although I have seen pictures of my dad where he looks pretty similar to that.
 
 I will never use a granny trolley.

Actually, when I was in the Falkand Islands (1982) I grew a full beard and it was ginger. My goatee is rapidly changing to white now, it may have to go!

Is Fuller's brewed to the west of London and has an ivy covered building? If so, very tasty honey lager.
 
 If I remember correctly I wouldn't call it obscure in London just here.
 
 The best cider I had in the UK was Bulmers. I haven't seen it here.
Title: Re: What's your favorite obsure English beer?
Post by: ChampionshipVinyl on November 02, 2003, 09:08:00 am
Bulmers is pretty good.  Are there any good English ciders to be found here?  I've never had any luck.

what about bazzas boncies blowout? thats what it used to be called, avaliable at a pub near borough on the hill, drink 3 pints and you get a t-shirt aswell as a ride to the hospital to have your stomach pumped, i managed 3 sips (just enough to impress the ladies).
