For anyone in/near Southampton you need to have a look in Bitter Virtue located on Alma Road. They are a small shop with a huge selection of beers typically from UK, Europe and America. They tend to also bring in a few local draught ales which are sold in milk cartons direct from the barrel and the shop staff/owners are happy to provide advice and share their knowledge.
It is truly a hidden gem for any ale drinker but I've since moved from the South. If anyone knows of a similar store in Nottingham then I'd love to know.

Sorry to dig this up, but being new to this I thought it'd make sense not to start a new topic. I just got back from Europe and bought myself some new beer glasses and beers.
Starting my collection, as I already had some large tall plastic ones suitable for pre-freezing and also some small Stella ones.
Excellent effort. Starting my collection, as I already had some large tall plastic ones suitable for pre-freezing and also some small Stella ones.
This was tonight's encore...
My local Brew Dog had this on draft for a short while but now available via bottle.
Japanese wheat beer. Love it.
I'm the same, used to like wheat beers but gone off them lately but this isn't a bad little beer, nice aroma of citrus.
I'm a fan of Hitachino beers in general though, the espresso stout is great and the red rice amber ales not bad either.
By the way how can I reply to comments as I've only got the option of replying to topics on my page for some reason so I had to copy and paste the above.

Took me ages to spot the Bud! What's the middle shelf RHS end one?
Its an IPA from a Swedish brewer called Omnipollo. I'm saving it for Saturday :] Their pale ale i had last week was pretty immense. My local beer shop in Putney gets some really obscure good stuff in. It has a 94 rating on ratebeer 
From last year's solo motorbike trip to the Arctic circle. No, really.
Jönköping, Sweden - Abro. Cooking lager.
Vaasa, Finland - Lapin Kulta and a Minntu chaser. I'd just been fined €580 for speeding. Not a good night...
Umea, Sweden - Falcon. More cooking lager.
Umea again. Decent pint in a microbrewery/pub.
Mariestad, Sweden - Mariestad. Excellent.

More bike trip goodness.
Copenhagen, Denmark - Tuborg and Dr Nielsen chaser in what must be the cheapest bar in Denmark. About £2.30 a pint.
Copenhagen Jazz Festival - Hancock. I'm still not sure how I came to end up serving behind the bar at this venue. I do know I sustained an unexplained drinking injury (UDI) which later resulted in the loss of a toenail... And one of my top five all time hangovers...

Just arrived from Beers of Europe
Thornbridge Bamberg seems to be a new one for this year, interested to try it as I love Schlenkerla helles.I do have multiples of most of these of course! Other than the Odell beer, I'm collecting some of their bottles and have been after this one a while, lets not mention how much it was
