Christ Smithwicks is pish. Even with a Guinness head in it. Even after a few.

we would call that a pint of special

I would argue that in the parts of May I have visited it is known as a pint of schpecial

that would depend on how many pints they had drank

Are Aldi or Lidl in the north selling Hobgoblin, Speckled Hen or any other ales? Local off license is €3.50 a bottle, Aldi sometimes have them at €2, was hoping to pick them up cheaper in the north.

Your best bet is Sainsbury's or Tesco. Lidl do
Bishop's Finger, but I've never seen it on offer.

In the other two, there's almost always a 3 for a fiver deal, across the real ale range, while individual ales sometimes go as low as £1 a bottle.

Greene King Reserve IPA has moved to the top if my rankings. It is immense.

Sainsburys were doing 3 for a 5er on some of these yesterday. Possibly on some your local Whitewater brews.

Time to revive Cliff's beer theory from Cheers:

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members

In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers, and that's why beer is so good for you.

Magnificent. Anyone remember the episode where Norm got the job as a beer taster in the brewery?

I had a bottle of Bourbon County stout last week (then Cliff's theory appeared to be a fact).
It's brewed in Illinois, I don't know where else it's available, but it's a stunningly brilliant drink, without doubt the best stout i've had so far.
Warning,  it's strong with a buffalo kick for the reckless,  one 650 ml bottle was quite enough for me.

5% is for wimps
