Real Ale Bar

[Holders]

The price of pub drinking today! - not much change from a tenner for two pints.

£3 a pint in most pubs in Devon - extortionate!

[King_Crud]

So what about us Johnny Haynes. Standees we have no access

is there space there to have one added? Write to the club

[Stefano Okaka Chuka]

Lovely, finally I can stop drinking that Carlsberg piss!

[Alternative]

Leyton Orient Supporters Club is the noted football venue for ale. They regularly host beer festivals. Top notch. Fulham should follow suit.

£4 a pint is comparable with the price for the terrible lager that was the only beer available in the ground before. It is not Wetherspoons we are talking about. You will never see low prices.

Good that the club can recognise the demand for this sort of thing. A big step up from drinking pints of piss that have been poured out of a guys backpack.

Brighton serve real ale at their ground. Apparently they change the guest beer according to the away team.

If an away beer were to be sold tomorrow at the Huddersfileld game, it would have to be:

Boltmaker beer brewed by Timothy Taylor's of Keighley
2014Champion Beer of Britain
2014Gold Medal - Bitter Category
A well-balanced, genuine Yorkshire Bitter, with a full measure of maltiness and hoppy aroma

It was a golden ale I'd say. Not sure of the brewery and there's only one option. They also do one type of craft cider and G&T's. It wasn't amazing beer but was a step up from Carling and Carlsberg.

Interesting. Ta!

Though, to be fair, a drip tray from the Hammy End gents urinals would be a step up from Carling and Carlsberg...

Ha ha! Fair comment. Been to that beer shop on the Fulham Palace Road? Some great stuff in there.

Yeah! That place is ace!

I'm still loving the Euston Tap for an after work pint. Amazing selection and it changes daily. Anyone who hasn' t been, it's a must!

I'm with you, jarv. My first pint was 1s7d, in 1966.  That's what, 11p?

not a fan of real ale myself and £4 seems a little steep too. been a long time since I had an ale or a beer so could be the going rate for a pint I guess, last beer I had was a bottle of becks about 6 months ago cost was £2.60.

If you last had a bottle of Becks then it's true, it s a long time since you drank any beer.

Becks until SAB bought them was a decent beer, now its gone like all the other brands they produce too damn gassy. They should leave to those who know best. But then thats why I now don't drink beer

You clearly don't drink the right beer!

Get some Dark Star Beer (West Sussex)in there, Loads of different types something for everyone.

agree. Or the ex founder's new brewery Burning Sky. Lovely.

[Shredhead]

Yeh, loved it. I wonder if any other clubs are serving Craft beer or if we're the first? Makes a nice change from the expensive pissy lager. Nice to see outside business in The Cottage too, it somehow adds to unique and family feel.

I'll avoid replicating the bad tempered debate in CAMRA about craft v real ale, but at the Brighton ground they have Harvey's and used to do Dark Star. For a while they sold a real ale from the away teams locality in the away end. If they still do that we may get a Fullers or a Wandle.

[Supermitch]

The beer they had was Ludlow Gold from the Ludlow Brewing Co of Shropshire

Anyone here brew beer at home? I do and there are some cracking kits out there if you don't fancy brewing from scratch...

Yep - I've got a Fullers London Pride extract kit bottle conditioning at the moment. Opened one last night and it's still a little green, but it's only been in there a week so it's carbed but not ready.
My last kit was an Old Speckled Hen, which was nice; my only problem is I don't have the patience to wait the 4+ weeks of bottle conditioning to drink it! I found a bottle of the OSH that I had missed, it was about 3 months old and was lovely, and just like the real thing but worked out about 40p a pint.

Where do you buy the extracts from? I have  three old (8 years out of date) kits that I got in a job lot of brewing junk (I was had) and am going to do them as long as they look/smell ok when I open them. Chucking the yeast and replacing and "dry" hopping them. Coopers lager, using a mauribrew lager 487 yeast and using Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops in the boil and to dry hop, then I have two Geordie Scottish Exports one I am doing with Windsor yeast and Fuggles and the other with Gervin (wilko) and Goldings. Wonder how they will turn out...might poison me though!

I'm with you, jarv. My first pint was 1s7d, in 1966.  That's what, 11p?

I made 40 pints of Milestones Dark Galleon from a kit I picked up on sale in Wilko for£8.50 that works out at 21p a pint so you can still time travel if you want...its the kind of price I paid for beer in London in 1978!
