Belhaven Black, Dark Gold, Midnight Sun, McEwan's Champion Ale, and some Samuel Adams lagery stuff.

I could be ill-ish tomorrow though as they were book-ended with a bit of red wine.

Still, who cares? Three points! :pissed:

Did this really get to page 5 without a mention of Sir Joseph of Holt?

Ale's become a sticky over the weekend !!! (Well done. I'd like to thank officer-dibble, CAMRA, brewers, my landlady, barmaids, Kate Middleton, bottle manufacturers, hop farmers, people who dutifully shovel barley into ovens 24/7 to make all the georgeous malt, and fuxking illiterate peasants everywhere). I'm going to celebrate with some very nice Coniston Blue Bird that's flown in recently.

How much do they charge for a pint of Holt's these days?

I worked in Manchester amd was there the day the price went up from 99p, it was a sad day.

Me either.
My mate goes mad like a kid in a sweet shop when we go somewhere and they have Joey Holts on.

Don't mind Holts.... though not had it for a good few years.... I do think half the appeal was the price.

From Sainsbury's get a bus into town and go to Whitelocks. Had some great ale in there recently - can't remember its name though.
