68C Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Our local brewery, good dependable English beer. A wander round their website gives the idea. My choice is the simple Best Bitter although Old Thumper can get an evening going pretty quickly. http://www.ringwoodbrewery.co.uk/ Link to comment

GraeV11 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Picked this up in NZ a while ago. I have fully tested the statement on the front. Can't remember what the result was . Link to comment

DeBenGuzzi Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 oh god where do I start? umm Goose Island Matilda is great, tripel karmilet, duvel, I'm a belgian and stout man, not an IPA or hoppy man. I got a couple local brewers that are phenomenal as well Link to comment
ferguzzi Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Belgium, surprisingly enough, is the best country in the world. Their food is basically French, they have some great roads, tons of history.....,and over 400 beers. And they take it very seriously. Every town has its own speciality, and I don't have a favourite, because I haven't tasted them all yet! I like Duvel, though. It's 8% proof. Yum. Of course you can't beat a decent pint of the black stuff.... Link to comment

AndyH Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 We Anglo-Saxons like our local brews. I nominate one of the traditional style bitter beers from our local brewery: Tring Brewery. http://www.tringbrewery.co.uk/PermanentandSeasonal.html Actually anything they do is great but in particular, Ridgeway bitter. 4.0 % ABV, so low enough to be a good session ale and available in bottles or on draught, I often take a tray of bottles with me when I visit family and friends and it just vanishes - recommendation in itself. Next week I'm taking a small barrel to a farm in rural Wales to share at an old friend's summer bash. Happy days! Link to comment
docc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Interesting. In the States, we're really coming onto our own on local breweries. Finally! Andy, what do you mean by a "session ale?" Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Andy, what do you mean by a "session ale?" My guess is that when you sit down to a "session" of drinking ...... that a 4.0% will be better than a 5.0% as far as endurance is concerned. If this is true then it could explain how Coors Lite is so popular amongst the lower lifeforms (non-bikers). 1 Link to comment
docc Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I dunno - that Ten-Fidy (10 1/2 %) made for a pretty interesting session over at Motowfo's Rancho Loco. at least until the single malt came out . . . Apparently, the brakes of an MGA cannot be properly bled without the correct fluids: brake fluid, stout, and single malt. 1 Link to comment

Apparently, the brakes of an MGA cannot be properly bled without the correct fluids: brake fluid, stout, and single malt. I have had many a session in my lifetime that involved pretty much any type of alcohol you can name ..... I would like to say that I am over that but I find myself disproving that statement over and over again. I guess that is why I love life so much ..... ...... but a session with some 4.0 sounds like a lot of fun! I'm in ........! Link to comment

gavo Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 As someone said before, cold and free, There's so many on the market when in NZ a couple of years ago I liked lots of beers on a couple of recent trips I liked these and at between 50c and $1 abottle what's not to like lol http://www.2beerguys.com/images/forblog/beerlao.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5009/5273173999_a8b3268a16_z.jpg Link to comment
