The **Now Drinking** Thread

Currently drinking a bittle of McEwan's Champion. Already had a bottle of King Goblin (Wychwood) and a bottle of Old Thumper (Ringwood).

All nice ales. King Goblin probably the star so far.

Never had King Goblin, how does it compare to their others?

I've only really had the Hobgoblin before (which I adore on draught). I'd say the King Goblin is similar to Hobgoblin but a bit stronger and slightly more meaty (but not much) - it's basically Hobgoblin+. Not necessarily better but different and as good.

Looking at their range, I'm keen to try the Black Wych. I like a good porter and, if it's as good as the Hobgoblin, I'll be happy.

10.5% but it's very tasty.

St Austell's 'Proper Job' Cornish IPA

Nice citrus taste.

Leffe blonde.

Is that a real rotary dial phone? And do they still work these days? If so, I'm jealous.

Recommend by a friend at work as it's one I've never tried before - really quite nice:

I'm not a lager drinker - can't stand the stuff generally. That's one of the few that I'm happy to drink. Not a bad drop at all.

Sadly, I'm having to resort to drinking two cans of KX just to stay awake at my desk.
