Had a couple of pints of Castle Rock Preservation Ale...a nice Reddish-brown bitter...lovely. |

| 1135970 | 2010-09-30 00:54:00 | I was a CAMRA founder member in 74 and miss English beer every day. I was from Merseyside and we had a Brewery called Higsons that made a very pale, hoppy beer - so yuumy but got taken over by Boddingtons and beer never brewed again - barstards! Thwaites, Holts, Hydes & Robinsons - their Old Tom used to be sold from a firkin on the bar - strong as! (but never liked it - too sweet), Marstons. Last time in Blighty tasted Deuchars and it was a fine drop - tasty as and only 3.5% - great for a session!! Cock & Bull's are ok'ish - Epic IPA is tasty if you let it warm up a bit. Drinking ale is like red wine - you don't chill the bollocks off it - I remember the optimum serving temp of bitter was 54-56 F - about 13C. |

Re Boddingtons - my wife's cousin came from Lancashire, and used to delight in going into Yorkshire pubs and saying loudly "I would like a pint of really good ale. Oh, I know, please give me a Boddingtons"... Not sure if he ever got punched out by a loyal Yorkshireman, but he deserved it! |
