dogmad riley 1,347 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Having never been a drinker in my life and never really been around drinkers im not exactly a connoisseur of beers......but stone me ive really got a taste for the stuff lately ......round my way i like this Doombar gear but what others can i expect to find on my travels i,ll be hunting down some nice local bitters all around Welshpool and North Wales in a few weeks so any tips for an amateur from any of you real pro pissheads ? . None of that fizzy lager shit by the way i cant be doing with that. Stones draught but don't think they have it down your way also carling premier is a good drink. Bass ale is also very good. Badger ales also enjoyable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Felinfoel ales were brewed for the tinplate industry where people would come out of the mills with throats like an Arabs jockstrap. 3% would allow them to quench their thirst but not go home falling down drunk. Felinfoel ale was the first beer ever to be canned in the UK. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/mLpYbeiaRfi6TI5vusaOMw TC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,572 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 all ways used to make a bee line for the strong draught real ales. Directors was a nice one. Things used to get bit messy on an all dayer though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,572 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 and as said just work your way through the local selection Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jessdale 416 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Doombar is brewed near me, as is Tribute, another good one but also Betty Stoggs, the queen of Cornish ales Cheers, D. I was in Cornwall during spring bank holiday week. I wasn't that impressed with tribute to be honest but the HSD and Mena dhu, from the same brewery, were absolutely superb. Probably the best beers I've tasted out of hundreds of different local ales I've tried. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
