The beer that is. I am a beer lover and the two beers that just fucking taste the best, that I've ever tasted, are: New Castle and Fuller's ESB, and Fuller's London Porter is by far the best Porter I've ever had. Way to go motherland, yall win in beer.

    It's part of Brown's one-eyed, dour Presbyterian vision to make everyone as fucking miserable and unproductively work-obsessed as himself:

    They might be, if they could afford to go out and buy the beer in the pub and find out.

    English ale is the shiznet.

    Theakston's old perculiar is a particular favourite... try some if you can get yer mitts on it ;)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    ahhhh Real Ale. What would life be without you?

    My favourites, in no order apart from the first one:

    Newcastle Brown Ale (I know, it's as classy as Abi Titmuss but my god do I love it)
    Bishop's Finger
    Fursty Ferret
    Bombardier
    Old Peculiar
    Waggledance

    I had a scottish ale at the last Wetherspoons Ale festival that was blended with Scotch whiskey. It was pretty damn good.

    actually its the small minded, selfish twats who want to kill everyone with their smoking that are closing them down ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Nope, they'd go and stand outside with their ciggies if they could afford the beer. And nope, if they stopped smoking, they still wouldn't be able to afford a few pints. ;)

    but beer prices havent increased dramatically since the smoking ban.. in fact the price of a pint up here is pretty much the same as it was pre-ban (budgets aside) and scumbags in pubs will always find a spare £5 or so for a pint.. feed kids tomorrow or 2 pints in a pub... its always the pints that win ;) mind you in Cambridge you wont see the seedier side of life... 40 posh students sipping on one pint of Harolds Old Ambiguous for 3 hours means pubs will close down... in Scotland the general idea is to get pissed as fuck... and if a pint is £3 or £2 then thats what they'll do.. :D

    Just out of curiosity guys, if you drink ale, would you purchase and consume an ale if it was called "Parson's Nipple"? A little future venture I'm in talks about with my mate :D

    Other name suggestions are welcome. Especially those that use the cracking "pre-reformation clergy terminology + random part of anatomy" ale naming formula.
