nong38 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I like the Thai beers, like the price to compared to what I used to pay in the UK and France, but I do miss my REAL ALES, walking into a pub and "lets see whats on tonight!" What guest ales have we got, coming from the England it something I really do miss and i would love to have that option here. My favourites in England and I wish we could get them here were "Batemans XXXB (Wainfleet, Lincs), Palmers 200 (Bridport, Dorset) , Sharps Special ( Rock, Cornwall), Mauldons Black Adder (Suffolk) , Adnams Broadside ( Southwold, Suffolk ), Nelson's Revenge (Woodfordes, Norwich) and John Smiths Magnet (Tadcaster, Yorkshire).

North Brink Brewery, see their ales in Wetherspoons a bit and the bottled beers turned up in Morrisons and Waitrose. Good stuff too, I believe its run by one of the family still, a lady last time I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
