30 English Ales You Must Have Before You Die

[PD]

How many can you tick off the list ?

Do you agree or disagree with the list ? Any you think have not been included ?

I don't see Piddles Dribble in the list....yet.

 

[Dieseljockey]

I've had a couple over the years...but there's one there that I'd forgotten about... :hmm: will have to find a recipe for it.

Ticked off 20 but where is Landlord :wha:

 

[graysalchemy]

I ticked about 15. I think there are better beers than is on that list, they are quite 'commercial' in my opinion.

 

[oz11]

the only one I'm missing is the Mackesons. Never been tempted by the cans though I believe it was (still is?) bottled for export?

 

[fermentall]

Ticked off 26 of them :

 

[TRXnMe]

Only 14 of them, and as above, there are some good beers missings as the ones on there are the well known commercial beers. Admittedly, the article implies that though, so I can't / shouldn't complain :)

 

[anthonyUK]

There are many better beers available here but maybe not in USA. I would prefer American craft beer personally than imported UK stuff when in the states.

 

[caerleon]

17

I'm too young to remember some older brews

 

[Titus A Duxass]

14.
But in defence, I've been mainly drinking German/Polish/Czech beers for the last 12 years.

 

[calumscott]

at least 24 - with another 3 that I think I might have had...

 

[LeedsBrewer]

hmmm... have had 6 maybe 7 of them
I'm not a big drinker. My appreciation for decent beer is improving though thanks to brewing. I've started trying differnt ones in the supermrkets. Didn't rate the Mann's Brown Ale though... too sweet for my taste.

 

[critch]

that list is sooooooo out of date :lol:

 

[jamesb]

26

 

[wezil]

Only got 15 must try harder! (can't say they were all good tho)!

Ah, the new phenomenon "Bucket-list" a fabulous guide to the "999 things you should do before Chiron takes you over the Styx."

Another man's milestone will only take you to his home, not yours

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

Can't see "Wards Best Bitter" from Sheffield.

[PD]

Beer choices are all relative. One man's beer is another man's Carlsberg I suppose....

However there's a good list there of beers you find in various well known recipe books on brewing so they must be popular.
There's quite a few in the list I've collected recipes for and have got marked down on my mental " to do " list.
Whether they remain on that list after the first brewing remains to be seen

21. Should have been 22 but my bottle of Thomas Hardy Ale was bought long before the maturity date. I wanted to have it after I finished my finals but my bloody old man drank it when ****** one night and there was nothing else to drink and I was away at University :evil: Never have the chance again

Dad's.....don't you just love em...... :twisted:
