Spitfire Ale
« on: 21 April 2011, 08:02:49 »
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

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

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 .

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.

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
