Bitter

Does anyone here drink Real Ale:?

I just ordered a Mixed Pack of different beers for £40.

It includes the following...

Daleside Old Leg Over (50cl, 4.1%abv)
Medal winner in the 2004 International Beer competition, this classic hoppy Yorkshire ale is a real treat

Arran Blonde (50cl, 5.0%abv)
This Beer combines substance with zest, significance with freshness.

Black Sheep Monty Python (50cl, 4.7%abv)
Brewed to commemorate 30th anniversary of Monty Python.

Coniston Bluebird (50cl, 4.2%abv)
CAMRA Champion beer of Britain in 1998. Beautifully balanced, consistent and satisfying.

Croptons Two Pints (50cl, 4.0%abv)
Every pint worth two! It really is pretty special. Bottle conditioned.

Double Dragon (50cl, 4.2%abv)
A fine beer from Wales.

Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted (50cl, 4.2%abv)
Sharp blonde with a lemony twist from the small Harviestoun brewery.

Hop Back Taiphoon (50cl, 4.2%abv)
Aromatic and hoppy pale beer made with wheat for liveliness. Lemon and dry juniper notes.

Moorhouse Black Cat (50cl, 3.4%abv)
CAMRA Supreme Champion 2000. From Burnley. This rare mild ale takes its name from association with the nearby Pendle Hill famous for its witches.

St. Peter's Organic Ale (50cl, 4.5%abv)
Organically grown light malted barley and hops create this refreshing wholesome flavoured ale. The oval shaped bottle is a faithfull copy of the one produced c.1770 for Thomas Gerrard of Gibbstown.

RCH Pitchfork (50cl, 4.3%abv)
Best Bitter of 1998 Great British Beer Festival. A bottled conditioned golden ale.

Skinners Cornish Knocker (50cl, 4.5%abv)
Bottle conditioned with plenty of orange zest and hoppiness.

Timothy Taylor Landlord (50cl, 4.1%abv)
British Champion beer of 1999. A pale ale from Keighley, West Yorkshire.

Tomintoul Nessies Monster Mash (50cl, 4.4%abv)
The latest brew from the UK's northernmost brewery.

Wessex Rumpy Pumpy (50cl, 4.0%abv)
Bottle conditioned, refreshing and in the best possible taste!

Young's Double Chocolate Stout (50cl, 5.0%abv)
Brewed with real dark chocolate and chocolate malt

Anyone tried any of these?

nah...bit far for me to go. i'm on the isle of man.

most of the pubs here are owned by Okells which is the local bewery..so usually a limited choice in beer.

There were a couple of guest ales on tonight though. i tried "Youngs Waggle Dance"...and "Jennings Cumberland Ale".

Hehe it can be expensive depending on where you live! When I lived down South it was almost 3 quid a bottle, but moving back up North made it cheaper, £1.85 in pubs and a bargainous 99p in Netto :biggrin:

I reckon the price is worth it for the taste :biggrin: But maybe not 3 quid being a student and all... :redface:

Unfortunately no newcy brown, it's the same pack Random Bloke is getting - so all the details are in his first post. Looks like fun :smile:

bastards.....they want to slap an £18 surcharge to post it to the Isle of Man.

I can't afford that....will have to have a re-think?

Anyone else know any good mail order beer companies?
Jennings cumberland ale!!!

I'll just say that I absolutely love jennings ales. Cumberland is alright, but I love sneck lifter a bit more.

Do you come to the Isle of Man often?

No, I've tried the Mount Murray beers at GBBF, and have occasionally seen them in a few pubs in the Peak District.
