This was just the ticket for a warm Spring evening. 440 ml of fruity hoppy quaffableness. Pours a hazy gold, as is the fashion.

another "like" for supporting our local economy. Have you got owt decent in E Sussex I can reciprocate with? I was delighted when @theclaud bought something from Buxton Brewery as it gave me a great excuse to buy some Tiny Rebel stuff which is invariably excellent. In fact they do my favourite beer of all, "Hadouken"

Burning Sky is brewed just a few miles from me and is one of the top breweries in the UK IMHO...

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Last night I had a bottle of Bath Ales' Barnsey (their dark beer) - good, and I'd have it again - and a bottle of Bad King John from the Ridgeway brewery in South Stoke, Oxfordshire. Via the Guildford Sainsbury's. It's a 6% dark bitter which is astonishingly anaemic - it tastes as if they've forgotten to include any hops at all.

Tonight I met up with my American chum from Munich, and we found a pint of this stuff:

(Photo from earlier in the thread, and ignore the pallid apparition in the background - colour has been gained since then). We then went in search of Sardinian craft beer, but the restaurant was all out, so we had to make do with grape juice.
 
Where I grew up, Holt's was what you drank if you didn't have enough money for Boddington's. I assume it's improved?
Well I have no reference but it was slightly too bitter for my tastes but not unpleasant. I would probably have tried a different one if I'd gone for no2. Boddingtons is a bit rubbish in comparison I'd say.
