yorkshire 151 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Wrong time of year for real ale drinking ... The summer is for cider or lager sat outside in a nice beer garden in a quiet country pub watching the world amble by .... The winter is the time for real ales ... A nice quiet pub with a real fire and the rain lashing the Windows ... Atmosphere is everything ........ What cider do you drink in the beer garden of a nice country pub ? All my local country pubs sell the fizzy stuff or the bottled fruity stuff . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TUFFTY 1,476 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Gnasher, walk to the top of your lane and check out the pub. Nice little country pub,with real ales plus guest real ales every week. The guest ales are usually in a wooden keg sitting ontop of a table behind the ramp. Or the cricket club for bottled stuff like Bishop's finger and hobgobblin. You know where he lives ??? Fukcing stalker ...... Shut it john wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive got a couple of quid tied up in vintage wine so i know a tiny bit about that i just didnt realise ale had its vintages as well he was coming up with 82,s,76,s etc......i was too far gone to take in that much info but it was an interesting few sessions we had......some of these ales were almost chocolate/caramel/toffee in taste......really nice.
