Which beer you miss and ones you Shouldn't

[grldtnr]

Not that I am a Pissant like Bruce the philosopher...
But I really miss Ridley's IPA ,and Old Bob ales, the brewery was sold off and turned into luxury housing, mainly because the owner saw a quick fix buck to be made and got out of brewing.
As for ones I Shouldn't miss , well I won't know till I try it!
My likings are towards the darker spectrum of beers Milds,

Charles Wells Bombadier in pint bottles, don't know if it's still available but I've not seen it in the shops for years.

Jenning's Snecklifter, shame the brewery was forced to close because of flooding.

A couple from Brewdog -

The original Jackhammer, not the dry hopped version they occasionally do now

Double Punk

Boddingtons when it was brewed at Strangeways before it was bought out. There were a lot of pubs that sold it in the Northwest and it was a very light flavoursome bitter with a creamy head. I think you can still buy it but it is few and far between and brewed in some industrial unit.

When I was at college in the late eighties I worked part time in a Boddies pub, there was four of them within a mile of my house.

It was a nice drink but I always had a dry throat after a few pints of it.

Ruddles County , Newcastle Brown and Double Diamond.

In Warrington we used to have 2 breweries ie Greenhall Whitley and Tetley Walker.
Both were good but Greenhalls was superb.
Sadly both were taken over and ruined.

Ruddles County , Newcastle Brown and Double Diamond.

Ruddles was good if kept well, if not it was crap.

Was never really into ales or proper beer as a yoof growing up. It was always lagers.

Now when I go to the pub which is seldom, I can't seem to buy a beer under 5.5% and a lot of beers at local are ridiculously strong flavoured, very hoppy, bitter craft ales.
Since cancer I don't want high alcohol content. Just a nice weak Pale Ale or a cask bitter at around 2.4% like I ignored most of my life. Seems like I really missed out.

BTW most alcohol free beers taste of pee, too fizzy and too much sugar that spike my blood glucose.

Ansells Bitter, probably more for nostalgia than superiority

Ruddles County , Newcastle Brown and Double Diamond.

The Ruddles bitter was a pleasant tipple.

Watneys Party 7 can, miss and not missed in equal measure.

The Ruddles bitter was a pleasant tipple.

Ruddles County was killed off once Greene King bought the brewery and closed it down.
