popped in this dinner time to try some samples and had these 3,and I have to mark them all at no less than 4/5:thumb: all excellent ales and kept beautifully,i will update as I go along we have until a week on sunday so im hoping to get a fair wack of the minimum 30 on offer:whistle::lol:
please feel free to add your comments should you try any on offer at your local spoons:thumb:

The barman advised me that the Theakstans Pink Grapefruit ale tasted like fairy liquid and suggested I tried it first... He was right! Bad batch perhaps?

one of my top favourite ales is hobgoblin gold and have to say on at least 3/4 occasions in the spoons over the last two years or so I have never had a decent pint of it

The grapefruit ale appeared in our aberdeen 'spoons as well. Apparently it was god awful here too.

Made it into a weatherspoons in islington on friday evening. Had a swift half of Truman's Waterloo sunset. Was a nice beer although felt it needed more carbonation. Not sure if this is the style or just too young?

Hi!
The Newtowner was quite delicious but, sadly, they didn't have the oatmeal porter on tap. I really wanted to try that one.

Popped into the local Spoons for a beer after playing squash tonight. Most of the beers I would have gone for were waiting to come on so opted for the Banana Bread Beer. Good Lord, it was nearer to a milkshake than a beer. I didn’t think the banana taste would be so pronounced - revolting.

still going strong at the local spoons and had another dodge in yesterday lunch time,tried 3 of them and again all very good.particulary liked the hoppy copper and surprisingly liked the wheat beer which im not a big fan of the style:thumb:

Popped into Spoons today and had a couple of pints of Chestnut Red from the Lancaster Brewery. Absolutely superb! Best beer I've had for ages.

Supped 6 pints in the wrexham spoons on Friday night. The Shropshire lad wasn't half bad as was the stronghold dark ale...Sara cen ipa was crap...then picked up a rather vicious vindaloo from the Indian which turned my Saturday into a Japanese flag type of affair and cancelled my brewing as I felt dreadful!

Hi!
We need an ale called "Ringfettler" for post-vindaloo drinking. :smile:
