I've just got back from a real Ale pub but I can't remeber what I had
I take it you had a good evening then![]()
I edited my post, not sure if you saw it, with the link to the best beer guide by Camra. Would be appropriate. My membership has just ran out otherwise I would given you the details to get a few quid off.

The nicest ale I've ever had is Dark Island Reserve Orcadian Ale.
Matured for 3 months in Malt Whisky casks (I think Scapa). Awesome, but it is about £12-18 for a 75cl bottle.
Get some lambic beer from Belgium. That's serious beer, and seriously delicious.
Goodness only knows whether you can order it over the web.
