That the one in the 330ml bottles too? That's amazing but I feel robbed at the price

Yeah it is expensive but for a nice change or special occasion it is oh so nice. Much more finished than the regular innis and gun.

pfft, gimmicky beer for people who dont like beer ( e.g. Gordon Ramsey).

Go into Apres on a Friday at 7.15pm and pay £4.50 for a pint of Peroni, make sure its in a Peroni glass, and then tell me it's not one of the nicest draught lagers you've ever had.

I drink mainly Carling and kronenberg when out and about but when in the confines of my home kronenberg blanc or Corona

.

I'm naughty I binge drink once or twice a month sometimes.

heather ale, inns and gunn, spitfire, orval are all worth a try

but like someone has already said it really is about just picking em up at random and giving them a go to begin with. After a while you'll get a feel for what you like, just go from there.

Meh, we have peroni on tap here in my town.

Not THAT nice in all honesty...However my mate had peroni in italy and it tasted really nice apparently.

Get to a Sam Smiths pub and have a stout. Mmmm.

My local is a Sam Smiths

Bloody awesome stout and lager, not a fan of either of their bitters though tbh.

Lush as it is, it weighs in at 8.5% and 99% of people don't have the knack of pouring it so we have to have another drink whilst it settles

Never had the misfortune of black wych? Unless you like stout ofc

Old Peculiar is awesome on tap still remember being pished off that the day I got engaged.

If I paid £4.50 a pint I wouldn't admit not liking it

We're lucky round here, got a local brewery and pubs that serve it all

Golden Tankard, Keelman Brown, Big Lamp Bitter, Blackout (13% ) Old Rosie

To name a few...

I presume your talking about the Keelman in Newburn?

I cut short my favorite ever game of Left4Dead at the time you posted this to go there. Well worth it too.

The Keelman brown is fantastic and costs just £3.66 for a 2 pint jug, cant argue with that.

If your from the Newcastle area get yourself down there, it's a great location for an all day session.

This. They do a supercharged version too, Old Crafy Hen - very nice

If you're into proper beer, I had a lovely one from a brewery in Tintern called Kingstone. It was their golden ale and it was gorgeous.

Stick with English Beers mate!, there are way too many people on here recomending foreign beers, more resembling lagers.
The English make the finest beers in the world, No need to support foreign countries when your own is the pinnacle of Brewing. Any of the good independent breweries Ales are all of top Quality.
The only time you need to look abroad is for a decent Lager in which Stella, Kronenbourg and Export take some beating for the price and ABV%.
