    Always remember many, many moons ago, people used to drink what I think was called a pint of twos, I think it was something like half a bitter and a bottle of pale ale. Although in other areas, it was something other than bitter and a bottle of pale.

    The US stuff is king IMO. Best beer from this box so far is the US one by far and only 3 to go.

    This one is stepping up a level .
    Very light beer with a Zesty kind of taste .
    Great beer for a sunny evening in the garden .
    Purchased for a more than reasonable £5 for 3 bottles from Mark's & Spencer's.
    Im. Going 8.1/10 for this one .
    The 1st time I tried it I was unsure .

    No chance. Loads of amazing UK breweries, some US stuff is good but too pricey compared to quality. Next time you're in London get yourself to a proper craft beer place, you won't regret it.

    I'm a CBR enthusiast, their events are Toby-heaven. The big one has over 160 breweries from all over the world, with their newest/best beers on tap.

    Mainly IPAs, ideally over 6% with a hint of citrus/fruit <diva>

    Brewery-wise the best UK ones seem to be in London or the south-west. I live close to the Beavertown one and loads of other smaller ones further south. I ****ing love beer.

    <laugh> that's one of the main problems with beer.

    Loads of Belgian stuff is great, but I prefer lighter beers to some of their thick dark beers. They don't **** around with some of them.

    That 5 point stuff I had earlier was superb. Best pint I ever had was an Anchor Steam beer in NYC. I've got new respect for the British stuff after trying some of these but I still can't see past the US stuff. Have you tried the Firestone Union Jack IPA? Or the Dogfish Head stuff, both really good.
