Had a perfect session in brewdog Birmingham on Saturday night. Tried about 8-10 different beers and had the 32% tactical nuclear penguin!

You get it by the 25ml. Drink it like a whiskey. Tastes like BEER if you get me. Interesting how its made to using freezing instead of boiling.

Sounds bloody brilliant Sean 
I suppose they just freeze it and then filter off the booze yes?
With that sort of potency, it puts me in mind of Exhibition cider, EKU 28 and Japanese aerosol beer

Real ale keeps me regular. Like 3 or 4 times after the night before regular.

Was at Brewdog in Newscastle there on Saturday, love that place. Have been to the one in Bristol as well. It's something that Northern Ireland/Belfast is really missing.
I was on some Titan stuff myself, can't remember the exact name but it was 7.1% iirc.
The Export Guiness is good stuff too in my opinion.
Haven't been drinking much ale these days though.

Tried a new one on holiday in Dorset.
Piddle Brewery IPA Lot 7.1%.
Really nice tasting IPA for a strong alcoholed ale, cloudy as well and didn't blow your taste buds. Only downside is it was £8 for a 1 litre bottle.

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%
The Wychwood Brewery is in my nearest town, but there's something in Hobgoblin that doesn't like me. Don't know what it is but I felt rotten the next day, and while drinking it as well so didn't even finish the bottle iirc. Think I had about half.
Brakspear bitter is quite nice, but obviously fairly weak. Their Oxford Gold is pretty nice. Not a massive flavour but nice and easy to drink.
Old Peculiar is one of my favourites. It's almost dark chocolatey with a bit of liquorice in there, and not a bad ABV. It's even better draught and is 5.9% out of the tap Probably one of the best pints I've ever had 
I haven't been having much in the way of ales recently though. Mainly ciders due to the sunny weather
Tribute though, now that's gorgeous too. Slight orange flavour to it and goes down really nicely. The first ale I tried, and then it got me into them
Numberwang!

BTW, Greene King do not make a single good drink. Especially the IPA. I couldn't have more than two sips of it as it was so vile.

Despite being supplied by Thwaites, my club has stopped doing Wainwrights and swapped it with some sort of EPA  And the club I played at yesterday had it, saw a number of supporters drinking it during the game but by the time we'd finished they'd run out
On a happier note we went to a christening do at a country pub last week that had it on tap, definitely made up for having to spend an hour being lied to by some bloke in a frock.

I can't do with it either, but pull the southern way while in Suffolk last year it was quite nice.

Yesterdays beer -
Samuel Smiths Organic Wheat Beer - Quite nice
Wychwood Bountiful - Bad pint, went flat. Shame as I love their Hobgoblin
Black Beauty - Not bad, looked like Guinness but tasted like bitter, really creamy head
Nethergate Umbel Magna Porter - Corriander porter, was vile. Really disgusting. Only managed a few sips.
