last night indulged in a few too many Spitfires (mainly as it was only £1 a bottle in Sainsbury's) never had it before but really nice bitter - reminds me of the 80/- i used to guzzle years ago, highly recommended :y
-
mmmmm
yes, tis nice :y
-
It's very very nice! As is Piddle in the hole, Bishops Finger, Theakstons Old Peculiar et al. I get given the full range every Highday & Holiday, it's great being a Granddad!! ;D ;D ;D ;) :y

i've had Theakstons Old Peculiar, but I've never enjoyed the Bishops Finger :o

I shall be indulging in a few pints of Workie Ticket, Landlord and possibly IPA tonight....why? 'because I'm worth it' ;D :D

Assume you are referring to "Shephard @ Neame" if it is Spitfire Bitter.
They do it draught here in Kent as it is brewed in Faversham about 15 miles away.
Not my favourite but all tastes are different .

"Dog" for moi every time! :y
Newcastle Brown - 'the one & only', as it says oon tha bottle man ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Four bottles for a fiver at our local Tescos at the mo! ;)

Do enjoy a drop of Spitfire but personal favourites are Sharpe's Doombar [smiley=beer.gif] and Timothy Taylor's Landlord [smiley=beer.gif] :y
Mind you, I've been enjoying far too many chilled cans of Carlsberg Export at weekend barbie's. ::)

Sorry to disillusion you Kev, trouble is I like both ale AND lager - and cold lager definitely goes down better on a hot day at a barbie! 8-)

For hot days I've recently been getting rather partial to alcoholic ginger beer.
-
There is something or other happening next friday ::)
Shepards Neme are doing a special beer for the event, its called .......
Middleton to Windsor
It's only available in Lidl and costs £1 a bottle.

I've tried Crabbie's and it's not bad, but as it's quite sweet I imagine it probably gets a bit sickly after a few. ::)
-
And.. If you like a little hint of the liquids normally distributed by our own Hotel21 in your ale, I can heartily recommend Innis & Gunn oak aged real ale. Very nice indeed. :y

I'm trying to remember which one I had recently. I don't think it was crabbie's as it was a 4.5 ABV. It wasn't as sweet either. Will have to root around in the wheelie bin for the empty bottle when I get home. ;D

yep thats the one - "kentish ale" :y
-
Years ago when all the pubs around my way sold it we called it "squittter and scream" as after several you are looking for the "big white telephone".
As said everybody to their own taste ,but not my choice.

I do buy Spitfire now and then and quite like it - but have become a softie drinking Peroni, Cobra, Tsing Tsao and lots of wine - 36 bottles of wine delivered this afternoon!!!

A nice drop of Wobbly Bob takes some beating. [smiley=beer.gif]

Never had a problem with it, and it's way better than the other local beer; Goachers, which is like drinking yesterday's dish water.
