1135945 2010-09-17 23:18:00 Love to know what keg beer they had onboard English Royal Navy Frigate in Darwin port many moons ago.
The CPOs kept saying it was so good you didnt get a hangover drinking it, like so totally mega wrong had a blinder the next day. Worse than a cider hangover.

1135946 2010-09-17 23:28:00 One thing I noticed when drinking ales in England, Scotland and Ireland was that I never suffered any after effects to head or stomach, unlike if I drink the gut rot from the big two breweries in NZ.

I took two old mates to the Twisted Hop in ChaCha where they over indulged in the Twisted Ankle (sadly, I was designated driver so I was more restrained). No after problems with the mate who was staying with us either.

Am I right or wrong about that? Is there something about those real ales that doesn't give a hangover or crook gut? Maybe I don't drink enough these days... It could be that simple.

Some don't but a lot do. You find a lot of German beers don't give you a hangover something to do with the lack of chemicals in the brewing process. I have spent a lot of nights on the town in Germany when I was playing water polo in England

Yeah, the Germans have really strict rules - malt, hops and water, and that's your lot. Maybe that is what is going on with the NZ beers - bad additives.

1135949 2010-09-19 22:10:00 Yeah, German obersturmbannführer beer must be better....not!
Of course I'm in favour of no additives in my beer...but not a big fan of Germans.

1135950 2010-09-24 07:26:00 Well, sorry about that outburst! :blush:
Anyway, lately we have been staying with a friend near Windermere.
A very beautiful area if you can get away from the other tourists!
Luckily our friend lives at the end of a small road quite near Morecambe Bay.
So a bit of peace and quiet for a change!

I have been drinking Thwaites Lancaster Bomber lately, it is a nice smooth drop.
Tried Jennings Sneck Lifter yesterday (who thinks up these names?) a dark almost Stout like beer with a fair punch (5.1%)
Coniston Bluebird Bitter is also very good.

Didn't find any good Beers in Scotland really. but I'm sure there must be some!
I'm pleased to report though that they seem to be getting the hang of this
Whisky-making business. :D
