nong38 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I used to like going into the Imperal in Exeter (Wetherspoons) they used to have an ale brewed especially for them called "Imperiale" it was a local brewery from Devon cannot remember which one but an excellent drop of the real thing, not a session beer! The Royal Oak ex Eldrige Pope was brewed by O'Hanlons, used to be in Honition but I heard they moved to Exeter. I remember getting it at Waterloo station, fine drop of stuff.. Anyone remember "Old Speckled Hen" ? Remember getting a cask conditioned version in Los Christianos, Tenerefe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snamos Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would take out all the tuk tuk drivers in Phuket for a years supply of Carlton Draught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 One thing I also miss the BEER EX specials that preserved railway lines used to run and still do. Usually have a Beer Festival with on board barrels through out the day and in the evening have good bash whilst riding up and down the line in the evening. very popular indeed. The Devon Diesel Group recently ran one of these events and on their website had a full list of all the wonderful beers on offer, worth a look I think the website was devondiesels.org.uk or similar, have a poke around see if you can find it.

tommytouch Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Boddingtons, Pedigree or Jennings. Even a straight forward pint of Tetleys would do I'm not sure Boddingtons or Tetleys qualify as REAL ale. However I know for a fact that cans of Marstons Pedigree are available in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, around B130 for 500ml I think, which is probably about what you'd pay for a pint of the stuff in the UK. Boddingtons and Tetleys also available here in one form or another and I recall seeing London Pride in bottle form too. Pretty good selection of delicious (and generally strong) bottled Belgian beers here too. Beer Lao Dark, B65 for a small bottle, is ok as well and quite strong (which I like).

tutsiwarrior Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I always thought that the Tetley's metallic after taste was due to not traveling well...but then I had some in a pub in Leeds and same same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggart Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm across the ocean, but believe or not, there's a real ale in Thailand that I really miss, and it's been a year since I last visited. At the Pullman Raja Orchid in Khon Kaen you can walk into a nice lounge near the lobby and order a cold Dunkel. I can buy two bottled Dunkels here in Canada imported from Germany, one from Erdinger and the other from Weihenstephaner, and I don't find either anywhere near as good as the fresh brewed draught from that Khon Kaen hotel. That's how great it was. Following is a list of my favourite beers from around the world. Needless to say, I keep adding to it. Canada: Ontario: Black Creek Porter Denison’s Weisbier Bavarian Style Wheat Beer Quebec: Dieu du Ciel Aphrodite Dieu du ciel Blanche du Paradis (blonde, almost citrus flavoured) Dieu du ciel Route des Epices (peppercorns) Belgium: Leffe Brune St. Bernardus ABT 12 Germany: Aecht Schlenkerla Raucbier - smoke beer Aventinus Weiszen Eisbock Kostritzer Schwarzbier - hint of chocolate with a little bitter aftertaste Paulaner Salvator England: Dark Star Espresso Fullers ESB Fullers London Pride Porter Newcastle Brown Ale Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout St. Peter’s Winter Ale Young’s Double Chocolate Scotland: Belhaven Scottish Stout Caledonia Brewery 80 Shilling Innis & Gunn Traquair Jacobite Ale Iceland: Olvisholt Brugshus Lava Smoked Imperial Stout Japan: Hitachino Nest White Ale - blonde, refreshing citrus taste New Zealand: Renaissance Stonecutter Scotch Ale Sri Lanka: Sinha Stout U.S.A.: Dogfish Head 60 minute Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgs2001uk Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Only one, Coopers Sparkling Ale brewed in Adelaide, Australia. Naturally fermented in the bottle, So beautiful , but quite strong . Sumptuous . Readily available in Bkk, in fact not only is the red label you refer to available so are the green label (pale ale) and the yellow label (stout) also available. Depending on where you buy I have seen it priced from 109 baht per bottle to as low as 59 baht, after confirming the price was 59 baht I asked the girl to give me 4 cases. She looked at me as if I was stupid. This was for the regular 375ml size bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
