Bump

Tried a few nice ones recently, Fullers ESB, Shepherd Neame 1698 and my current favourite, Lakeland Cumberland Ale.

Had a Spitfire last night, terrible stuff

Any recommendations which I'm likely to be able to get from a supermarket?

I've got on this over the past couple of years, broadside is probably my current go to if I just want a couple of bottles for a night.

I also like weird stuff like Wells banana bread beer, old thumper, old tom, Youngs double chocolate stout

Shepherds Neame IPA is lovely too, Old Peculiar is amazing, old golden hen, a scottish one I cant remember thats about 8.4% and knocks your head off but tastes amazing....

Was drinking tribute at the weekend which was an easy to drink pale.

Had so many I've enjoyed I really couldn't list them all, but all the above I've enjoyed enough for them to be memorable.

I'm 18 and my boss is trying to get my into real ales. I prefer the paler ones than the dark ones, but I am trying a few more.

Yorkshire Blonde is probably the nicest IMO up to now (only tried a few)

I think this thread is so much better since it was set up by someone called "Dave". Dave and Ale were mean't to be from the very start...

There's a bottle of Nigerian Export Guinness sat in the fridge awaiting my approach if that counts.

This.

Probably one of the nicest, along with IPA Green King.

Bought a box of bottled beer yesterday from Sainsburgers for £10 -

Brakspear Bitter 3.4%
Marston's EPA 3.6% - Pub near me has this and it always goes flat
Hobgoblin 5.2% - My favourite
Ringwood Fortyniner 4.0%
Cocker Hoop 4.6%
Banks's Best Bitter 3.8%

Seriously get your hands on the 1001 beers to try before you die book/e-book.

Ive tried so many amazing ales and beers from that book (a few disgusting ones too mind)

Done many from it? Things have slowed down for me recently but got a few beers from the book in Germany earlier in the year and off to Poland in a couple of weeks

I've not ticked any off, but I'll try and remember to have a count up.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, York is full of "proper" pubs so its not hard to find new ales to try.

I've had it before Jamie I really like it.

We had what we dubbed the 'Nigerian Tramp's Breakfast' at Goodwood this year when we marked our arrival with a bottle each, chased with a pint of 'Ks' and ice.
