Ignoring the keg thing, Bombardier is pleasant enough, but just a bit 'meh' alongside a Bishop's Farewell. Thing is, at the time I used to get excited about a decent pint of Bombardier, about one boozer in ten served a pint of any kind of cask ale that wasn't sour, flat or vaguely minging. And most would argue when you raised the issue, even or especially when the beer was essentially vinegar with toenails.

Opinion of the year! As in another thread..."perfectly Frank"

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Ooh I say. I'm all for enriching cultures, but not at the expense of the best of the old. And cask conditioning, done well, is a great tradition. Ignoring the keg thing is like ignoring the increasing hegemony of Starbucks and Harris&Hoole.
Yeah sorry my view was blocked and I'm not sure it was visible through the rain.

Just got my Dad these towards his birthday present. They are from one of the micro breweries in town. I have tasted the coffee stout and the smugglers stout before and both were rather nice.

The Kraken Coffee Stout is superb. I very much like the Calista IPA as well. All In Jim and Spratwaffler are good too. I think I've tried the Monkey Wit but can't remember what I thought of it.
Haven't tried the others, but they stock them all in the local off licence so I'm sure I'll get round to it soon. I'm slightly wary of the beetroot and chilli one.

Yes I am interested to try the beetroot and chilli one. Hopefully I will get a tasting so I will report back.

Estepona Carrefour has a decent collection for a quality beer desert like Spain
More to come but had a try of Castellana Ahumada. 4.8% and about 3 quid for a 75cl bottle. It's a sort of dunkel-ish brew. Not great but at least someone's trying to make a beer that isn't generic cerveza
