Christmas Ale News

[Derek]

The last few years I have posted what the Christmas Beers will be in the Wetherspoons Pubs during the festive seaon.


Soz the quality of the pic is not that good but you can make it out.

Quite an impressive array of brews! Do they brew them themselves or they offerings from different breweries around the area?

This is very impressive as Adnam's is not known for 'travelling' well. I wouldn't mind trying the Sheperd Neame and of course the Marston's. And one can only dream about the Thwaites. There was a time when they used to call Abbot Ale 'Looney Juice', because that's how you got after you drunk it.

Oh, happy days.

Abbots... Heaven in a glass.

As an aside:

I was recently introduced to Adnams Broadside on draught while visiting a mate in Southwold Suffolk (where the brewery is). Nicer than the bottled stuff we get up here, although that isn't bad either.



As another aside:

If you are ever in Manchester and get the chance to sample beer from these Chaps.



Please do so... If you enjoy a decent pint, this IS one to write home about. Unfortunately the draught bitter is only sold in 93 Pubs in the Manchester area which is probably not a bad thing. Look what globalisation did to Boddington's. Turned it from one of the best cask beers in Britain to tinned, fizzy pish in less than half a decade.

Apparently you can get some of Joey Holt's bottled range from Tesco. See you there maybe...

What a range! Cheers!

Awesome. I miss CAMRA ales. I wish there was an American equivalent. Luckily we have a few breweries here that are comparable, but I love those old British ales!
