Fullers' Vintage Ale indeed...that is something special....

Epic, for me, make fantastic beers. I must admit I'm a bit of a hophead...and Moa St Josephs.
Choufe (sp) and James Boag, but I haven't really experienced many North American or European microbreweries and I'm sure they have some gold...

....but hell, you can't go passed the PBC Marmite Stout. That shit rocks!!!

Good luck getting hold of it though :P

Recycle your red poppies, paint them white, and wear them throughout the year.

Tried a few hoppy ones at beervana (which was epic) last weekend.
Quite a fan of the Twisted hops beers, their IPA's are damn tasty.

Give some trappist/belgian craft beers a try for quality eupropean stuff, nothing quite like their big fruity yeasts.

Keep your eye out for 'Cassells' as the brewmaster for the twisted hop has defected to them...which is why, in my opinion, the twisted hop has gone a bit insipid over the passed few months....it's hard to replace that sort of quality.

Oh yes! Absolutely, except I find them slightly soporific!

Nah they didnt have it at beervana and im not sure who stocks their beers near where I live :( I have tried their APA, IPA and the Challenger


One big problem we all face is that theres so many quality beers to try, and not enough money or liver function to try them all :(

I personally can't stand the stuff. I think I have been even more turned off by it because I have a friend who blindly swears by it whenever I recommend a beer.

I had a tequila beer at The Wunderbar the other night. Turned out from the label it was just one of Green Mans standard beers with a shot of tequila and some lime juice added.
