beer

[WhiteJC]

I have 3 "son in laws'

one doesn't drink beer, prefers vodka or gin
one only drinks larger
one will drink beer, either bitter, light ale or larger, given a choice will choose a "craft" beer

personally I prefer bitter London Pride (poison of choice) or Doom Bar (when in Cornwall)

there are several others that, assuming my main preferences not available, I'll "test" to make sure they are OK, such as Adnams, HSD, Badger or Spitfire

I used to like Directors but haven't seen it for ages.

as a kid I used to drink "light and bitter", did so into my early twenties, but I've not tried this in 30+ years, I wonder what would happen if I tried to order it in a pub today?

another favourite used to be Youngs, Ram & Special if we were on a session, not seen any Youngs for ages, I know they were taken over and the brewery closed but I'm sure you could still get it for some time after that?

anyhow, what's your preferred tipple? beer, larger, wine or spirits?

I ordered 'light & bitter' regularly in the Chancellors a few years ago when they first brought in London Pride, as it wasn't on form for the first couple of months and I'm not fond of DoomBar.

Loads of pubs do Young's, there are in fact several Young's pubs in and around Fulham.

This must be a wind up, I couldn't honestly name worst so called beers than those you list. You forgot Greene King IPA yuk.

Always the sign of a miserly landlord when he poured the light ale into the glass and topped it up with the bitter. Bitter first and the light ale by the neck always left a bonus extra drop in the bottle.👍

Takes me back - I remember Youngs bringing out a bottled Jubilee Ale, which i used to drink with Special - I was always a fan of Ram and Special.

Remember Courage's Directors -a strong, pump drawn beer, as opposed to, most of their insipid rubbish.

Remember light and bitter - the barman would usually fill the glass two thirds with bitter, then you'd top up with the bottle of light ale.

My go to is lager (Stella, which isn't a shadow of what it used to be) and wine (Sauv Blanc) and of course a good cider.

However the new wave IPAs are mostly fantastic and I would urge everybody to try one.  And then you get to the new weird and wonderful stouts that are basically brewed by absolute magicians.  I love them but being diabetic I have to be careful with having too many of those in one go.

Shere Drop or Tillingbourne Falls Gold - excellent beers

Great pub. 
Craft Beer Co in Hammersmith station has a great selection of beers/guest beers and is never overly busy.
Love Doombar and Tribute at the moment.

Got to agree with Hugh. The Bricklayers is a good pub for beer. I'll never forget my first pint in the Ship near Wandsworth Bridge.  092.gif

You can still get light and bitter in Young's pubs, i have it from time to time

[Southcoastffc]

I'm always keen to try the local ale wherever I go but after extensive research over many years my go-to favourite is Brakspear's Oxford Gold.  Hook Norton brews (Old Hooky etc) are very enjoyable too.  Must be something in the Oxfordshire water.   Never, ever, UK lagers.

Real ale -  nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.

I loved Black Sheep when visiting Cumbria.

Having just checked online it seems Black Sheep is a Yorkshire bitter although I discovered it in some quaint local country pubs when attending a jazz festival in Cumbria pre-pandemic. I wrongly assumed it was a local beer
