• Vedett IPA

This is the only beer I buy on a real regular basis. Otherwise, I only try beers that I haven't bought yet, and sometimes it depends on what I fancy, or sometimes what I need for cooking. Beers in that category are

• St.-Bernardus 12
• Westmalle Tripel
• Chimay Red
• Grimbergen Winter
• Martha Brown Eyes
• Boskeun
• Dulle Teve

My choice is a bit limited as i only buy when i am in the supermarket i don't think i have ever seen those on your list.

I have just found out Tesco sell Wherry, i have seen many positive posts about the home brewed version so i am definitely going to get a bottle for next weekend.

They used to serve Wherry on draft at my local pub after I left uni. A very enjoyable session beer. Whilst there have been wherry kits on sale for decades, I'm surprised it hasn't gone further around the country (I've only ever seen it in Cambridgeshire) or have a decent AG recipe. I'm a bit jealous as I can't get it down here

 

[Agentgonzo]

In no particular order

• Leffe Radeuse
• Chimay Bleu/Grand Cru
• Hoegaarden Grand Cru
• Old peculiar
• Erdinger Oktoberfest
• N'Ice Chouffe
• The original Crop Circle, before hopback changed the recipe to be it's gluten free beer
• Dark Island
• Bowman Eldorado
• Belle vue Kriek

+1 to Proper Black but I never see it in the shops round here any more - it was a regular a couple of years back

Yes, it went off the shelves here (cornwall) for a little while but is now back. I'm not sure if it's quite as hoppy as it used to be or if my tastes have changed.

I'll keep my fingers crossed it finds its way back up here to Berwick then! Cheers
