Beer?

And bacon?

Why not!

So it's a pale ale made with Bramling X hops from Worcestershire. American yeast and a bit of American hop just for clean bitterness.

Generous lot, The Beer Thread Peeps! Drinking beer is clearly an indication of good character.

I know this is controversial but I would love to drink some of the draught ales in my local but there are so many and generally those I have tasted have a distinctly bitter finish. I just read that golden ale was introduced to try and win business from lager drinkers. Any suggestions ?

They change them often so cant tell you but im planning on meeting swmbo down there later and will make a mental note.

Edit:
Just looked on the pubs webby

"We regularly feature quality, distinctive cask conditioned beers from Weetwood Ales, a small local brewery situated in the village of Oscroft, Cheshire. Weetwood’s Eastgate, Best Cask Bitter and Cheshire Cat or Old Dog dependent on season, take up a permanent pump each behind our bar. As does Beartown Brewery's Kodiak Gold from Congleton.

Our other local guest cask ales are changed on a weekly basis with recent guest appearances from Storm Brewing, Bollington, Slater's Ales, Titanic, Phoenix, Castle Rock, Wincle, Ossett, Rooster's and Northern Brewing".

Take a snap of the line-up and post it here. @MossCommuter has probably tried most of 'em.

My expert advice: have one of each. Report back.

Seriously though, start with Timmy Taylor; if that's too bitter try the ESB or the one on the end that I can't see properly (it says "bitter" so probably isn't very). If you want something more zesty try the blonde or the IPA.

How about a half of each?

Knowing that you've tried um and remembering what they're like.. two different challenges

Thanks I will try a half of the Blonde and the IPA. The one at the end is Weetwood Ales best bitter

Ask if they do a tasting paddle. A lot of pubs do. 3 or 4, third of a pint glass, of one of each you want to sample.
