Nice to see Magic Rock in the list.

If forced to pick just one then that would be my winner not just because of the beer but also because Huddersfield for Mallinson's Tap, The Grove, The Sportsman's and the Magic Rock Tap is a thoroughly good day out.

Don't put beer in the microwave!

9%. Upper bavarian. The cider fridge at the independent local offie blew up, so everything moved around and I couldn't find much so I tried this. A lot of reviews read since drinking it say about the nut or caramel, but not too sweet. I liked it and I don't necessarily like nut ales.

Interesting list, completely wrong mind. There’s (quick count) 64 USA beers and 36 ROW. UK have 11 and Belg 6, Denmark and Canada 4, then we’re down to 1 2 and 3. Not that that means anything really but there’s so many great breweries that don’t even get a sniff at that list.

Because the demographic of the app's users is the same demographic as the drinkers of those breweries' beers, maybe?

And Harveys isn't even on the list. Pah.

And no one ever said "wow! That's a really nice pint of JW Lees, I must get on Ratebeer"

We could debunk the whole thing by bigging up John Smiths Creamflow and get it to the top of the list. That’ll learn em.

Don't forget the dash of blackcurrant cordial...

I didn't mean to denigrate JW Lees, after all the second best brewery in the world uses their yeast, rather, I was saying that no-one ever felt the need to shout out from the rooftops how good it is

Thank feck I got rid of the Xmas tree...

Smooth and lush the orange is very much hidden and the oatmeal makes the coffee nice and creamy. Very nice at 10%...

Another favourite, which is cool because Morrisons do them as 4 for 6 quid. I may or may not report on the drinking of the rest of them.

Without undertaking any research on this, I bet that we could always have had a crown on pint glasses, along with the CE mark.

I did a tiny bit of research (which would be 100% more than any of the bellends lauding this trivia as some great victory) and yes, we could have.

Due to circumstances we don't need to go into right now, I'm still working my way through the selection above.

Tonight's tipple is the always excellent Workie Ticket from Mordue Brewery. The blurb says "A tasty complex beer with malt and hops throughout with a long satisfying bitter finish" which sounds about right.

Still slowly getting opportunities to drink through the selection above

The Razorback was a lovely amber ale and I could spend an afternoon on it, no problem- I'll be getting that one again

The Brakspear tasted a bit "thin" if you know what I mean. It's only 3.4% and while it tasted fine enough it lacked body.
