I'm afraid I can't help you locating it here though.



The best beer I've drunk in recent years is "Shiner Bock". I was over visiting my girlfriend's brother and his family in Houston a couple of years ago - it's all over the place there.

Brilliant beer, I've been craving it.

Need to get back over for another visit I think.

Proper dynamite stuff it was! Hoping it's still on the go, might have a word about and see what I can find!

Quite liked the cans from vocation brewery over the last year. Was surprised to see tesco stocking there american pale ale, hopefully theyl gwt their ipa's next.

When we were in the Lake District we had a beer called Elephant's Backside. It tasted great.

Anyone with advice on where to start in sourcing homebrew stuff? Anyone done it before?

Edit: also been drinking two very good beers recently, one is a smoked German beer with a really meaty, smoked bacon flavour;http://images1.phoenixnewtimes.com/i...erla-fowle.jpg

And Gooseberry Cove - a sour pale ale from Buxton flavoured with gooseberry. Fantastically refreshing sour beer.

Its maybe not what you are looking for but I brew my own ginger beer. I live in Thailand so ginger costs nothing. It is so simple and I have adjusted it to my taste.I much prefer it to the usual beers here (which are pretty decent as far as lagers go). I dont even bother with fancy bottles or anything. If you want info just pm me and Ill give you more details.

First time visit to The Antiquary on St Stephen Street over the holidays, I loved it and enjoyed several pints of East Coast IPA.

I lost 7 years of my life in there

My regular beers are from Strathbraan Brewery.

Go West, Look East, Due South, True North with Eighty Bob a good ale.

I'm not sure where else they are available, but the Old Mill in Pitlochry usually have one or tow on tap, rotating with guest ales such as Cromarty Brewery.

I've been drinking loads of Fierce beers lately, based in Dyce.

Their fruit beer is superb. Personal favourites from their range are Cranachan Killer and Ginja Ninja

Used to love The Antiquary back in the day. Punks on one side, disco dancers on the other, all getting along happily, great mixture of tunes on the jukie.

Wish it was 1978 again.....

I'd have been somewhere in the middle playing Space Invaders!

Simple Simons (now Hamiltons) was also a favourite in those days and the Regular Music Monday nights in Tiffanys were great!

Not everyone's cup of tea I know,but I really enjoy the brew dog pale ale selection in cans. Take it on the train with me every month, a lovely drink in my opinion.

I'd suggest a trip to Wellington, NZ for any craft beer aficionado. Panhead APA and IPA are delightful.

As a coeliac I would recommend Vagabond by Brewdog.

Anyone else tried Shilling Brewing Co. in Glasgow yet?

Rapidly becoming one of my favourite brewpubs in Glasgow! Their on-site production beers are excellent and the food (specialising in stone-fired pizzas) is very good, and reasonable!

Their 'Dirty Sanchez' chipotle beer is excellent.

Currently drinking Wild Beer Co. 'Billionaire'. A very dark stout infused with caramelised miso. A very big hitting stout with both real stout bitterness and a caramel sweetness to it, it's a fantastic beer.

Tempest - drop kick me jesus. Realy nice sour with citrus and tropical fruits.

Had a realy nice banoffe one by tiny rebel recently as well.

I had a pint of Tiny Rebel Cwtch recently. It won CAMRA's champion beer a couple of years ago and was very enjoyable, a hoppy red ale.

It looks like my other half is forcing me to go to the Hanging Bat on Wednesday :wink:

Had that a can of that recently and really enjoyed it also. Wasn't too keen on their tropical IPA that cloisters had on keg a couple weeks ago though, found it a bit too sweet.

Was given a couple of sample bottles from Inveralmond Brewery. Currently drinking Ossian a golden ale, pretty decent.

Had a couple of pints of Wychwood King Goblin @ Wetherspoon's Beer Fest yesterday, pretty strong but, went down very nicely.

Good to know, cheers PB.

Went to the heriot watt beer festival on friday where they had an excellent choice. Stand outs were apa's by weird beared and leeds.Cardoman sour by chorlton was pretty decent as well. Had 80 taps with a £1.50 token getting a half pint, a limited number of the beers came in thirds. Definitely reconmend it for anyone whos no been before.

Anyone going to the festival at the biscuit factory on Cup final weekend? Looks pretty good and I just happen to be in town.

If I wasn't at a wedding the weekend after I'd definitely be coming up for it. Beer lineup is class, music will be great and LCBF is always fantastic so I have no doubt the Edinburgh version will be just as good.

Aye looking forward to it. Got saturday early birds so atleast geting knocked out the cup has a silver lining.

Sure i read buffalo food truck are there. Definately recommend their chicken burgers.

I realy enjoyed the festival on saturday night, everything about it was excellent. Hopefully it returns next year. I might even go for a full weekend ticket.
