Had two bottles of this yesterday from the Greenjack Brewery in Lowestoft. Very pleasant tasting beer.
The name of 'thier' pub escapes me at the moment. It's at the top of the old high street in Lowestoft. I always pop in there when visiting friends in Corton as the selection is always 
, very quickly.

How'd I miss this thread? I was just about to start one on Ales, thought I'd search first.
Over the last year I've become a massive ale drinker, I don't tend to drink larger at all anymore, its expensive, makes me bloated and tastes crap!
Out and about I tend to try something new every time, a few holidays a year to the lakes sees me trying loads of different ones. At home its more mainstream, such as bishops finger and London pride (my favourite 'have in the fridge' currently). I'm lucky that I live near 3 brewery's and recently got a mini pin for me and a mate to go through one night, good night!
Recently on a visit to Austin, I went to a 'local' brewery over there and really enjoyed them. Some were a bit extreme of the flavours, but thats America for you. Looking forward to being back in the Lakes soon, to sample some more brilliant British ales.
Rebellion and Chiltern brewery's are both near me, both producing some of my favourites.

If you can find it, try Woods Wonderful: dark, delicious, with lots of damson jam / smoky malt notes. One of the original Woods ales when it started back in 1990.Shropshire Lass (my fave of the 3)
