    I didnt mean that it was YOU that posted it, I just meant that you posted up the link, to show us what sent him off the rails. (Again)

    So, I've made and bottled my own beer.

    I know Ale isn't to everyone's tastes, but I can't drink lager.

    anyway, here it is

    Won't know until August.

    but the last batch I made was very nice, after being let sit for a few months. I broke the last batch up into 2. the first half I drank after being bottled for 2 weeks, it was alright, but the stuff I opened after 4 months was a million times better.

    I'll leave this until August and open one of the bottles to test.

    I'm a fan of LP yeah, I also like Fullers Organic Honeydew. I grabbed a couple of bottles of Inns and Gunn this evening in Tesco, and it's not too far removed from that either.

    Get yourself into Aldi soon, their Tradional Irish Ale is made for them by The Carlow Brewing Company (O'Hara's) and is currently €4.69 for 4x330ml, drinking one now, and it's better than O'Hara's Red imo.

    I'm also a fan of Leffe, which is currently 4 for a fiver in some Tesco.

    Get this though.

    I was in London about 6 weeks ago with my mother for a funeral, and we went into a pub near the house of the lady who died one night for a few drinks. They had both London Pride from a Cask AND Leffe Blonde on tap. Man, I was delighted, and had to alternate between them the whole evening :D

    I hate going into pubs in Ireland, Smithwick's or naught in most of them. Although, my local keeps Macardles on the shelf for me :)

    I'll try that out :)

    :D Sounds like heaven, say you downed some number of pints.

    Most of my locals have nothing :(

    Whenever in England/Wales, always try to have the local brew, test them all out :D thankfully the hotel I stay in London has Pride in cask :D

    Good man Des

    I must try that at some stage when I have somewhere big enough to store it

    I have a crate of Caffery's at home, it was dirt cheap in Tesco one weekend

    Slowly making my way through it, it certainly goes down easy

    It's possible, but new account gets banned if it's discovered, 'cause they can compare the IPs and whatnot
