Oh, I actually forgot about ales when I was writing about British beers. Pale ales are incredible! I'm not an expert, but the most tasty pale ale I've drunk was in a London's pub called "Anchor", so would recommend this place if you like this type of ales. The taste was pretty unusual.. fruity a little bit, I'd say..but I fell in love with it!

It wasn't this was it? But this is American.

Found this in Sainsbury's this evening. If you can find it in yours grab a bottle. It's a superb beer.

Just picked up a few of these on special. Usually go for Franziskaner and Munchen the odd time too. Looking forward to this one!

ah right misread your post. The pub is called Anchor. Yes, not been to that one.

I also see it's a Green King pub, so I hope it is not affected by the announcement that they plan to close some of their pubs and cut jobs.

The Czech one is actually not bad at all. More bitter than most other pilsners and pale lagers.

I just toasted Trump (and other authoritarian populist cockwombles) with Tequila, Ali did with Talisker - the most unpalatable drinks in existence for us.

Budvar. That's quite a good one from memory for a lager. But haven't haven't had it in ages.

I grew up on the American one when I first started out drinking beers, all those many years ago, thinking it was great at the time. Remember that and beers like Labatts Ice and Michelob. Not sure where the latter two beers have gone.

Celebrating with a Sierra Nevada pale ale tonight.

Actually quite like Budvar - if I'm buying those big glass bottles of beer that are like 3 for £5 in the supermarket I'll go for that

Now that Trump has lost I think I'll celebrate with a bottle of Scotch.

Peroni if its bottled. Any decent draft bitter if I'm in a pub. Favourite drafts would be Harvest Pale or Doombar.

My hipster IPA phase has worn off now the weather is colder, although I was still enjoying the odd bottle of Eidlewiess in my club until lockdown 2.0 hit. My go to is now Hobgoblin (£1.25 @ Tesco) and the occasional bottle of Old Crafty Hen (part of the 4 for £7 deal in the Co-Op across the road from me).

The first Saturday night under lockdown made me realise how poor my booze stocks were, so thanks to the absence of a breathaliser built in to my laptop, a bottle each of Woods, Dead Man's Finger, Bombay Sapphire, Smirnoff Glenleivet and Jaffa Cake gin turned up today. While I was checking here my order was, I got duped into buying a couple of litres of Southern Comfort too - £15 a litre was too good to pass up.

When I was looking for a bottle or rum, I was surprised to learn that Pusser's is now only 40% and that you have to pay an extra tenner or so for the overproof stuff. Probably did me a favour, as I call £20 for a bottle of Woods (57%) a bargain.
