We started with the Doombar and we both liked it, we then tried the Punk IPA, Mrs Tea was not keen whereas i thought it better than the Doombar. :thumb:

Good start CT. Next stop, your own brew. You could do a demijohn size batch for under a fiver.
I can see why members go to all the trouble to make their own beer but being a lazy SOB i can throw wine together in half an hour and i don't have to worry about temperature control, carbing and waiting for several weeks before drinking it, i will definitely be trying more of the beers on the list and others mentioned in the thread in the near future.
Our Tesco is very small and only had Doombar and Punk IPA, now i know i like what i have tried so far i am going to try others, i will put them on my monthly shop from the main Tesco.
1. Never heard of Booths.
2. there's 3 tescos near here and the only ones on the list I've ever seen are Doombar (a pleasant but not exactly exceptional pint), Youngs double chocolate (ghastly chocolate flavoured gunk), and possibly the 2 badgers, but having once had a Badger from tescos that was flavoured with peaches, would have to be desperate to try another...

Booths are like Waitrose, but they're only in Lancashire and Cumbria.
Booths is like M&S but a lot smaller, I wouldn't want to do my monthly shop there.
That would be the golden glory! - well worth a go, but perhaps a marmite beer!
YDCS is in tescos and is much nicer IMO that guiness. but your milage may vary.
2 years or so ago i'd have but Jaipur down as a must try. Just had one last night from waitrose. it was rubbish! do they put hops in it anymore or am I suffering from LTS?:whistle:

I def think Golden Glory is a marmite beer as is poachers choice

I also had a jaipur last night, I really like it though and thought 'this is great' as I'd not had one for ages. But I think you could be right with LTS. I had a Lagunitas too and thought it was rubbish, didn't taste of hops and I normally love it. Could also be how it has been handled and age I guess.
yes you can't get fresher than your own hoppy creation! erm unless your using 2011 hops
