Beers, standard or craft, what are your favourites?

[SteellFJ]

We have the Cigar Thread, Friday night drinking and listening thread and we have thousands of "What Weedkiller" threads now it's time to get serious about beers.... More examples could have been given but hey.

The gems you like to enjoy on an evening through to the all day "sesh" favourites, what are peoples preferences?

Hopefully enough beer drinkers willing to share some hidden gems to allow us all to enjoy more beer than a Tennents or Carling in the local.

[anothernameitist]

Sam Smith's stout

Timothy Taylors bitter or dark mild

Black Sheep bitter

[Too Late]

Punk IPA by BrewDog
DryHopped by Adnams is my summer favourite
Wherry by woodford is lovely as well.

[LordGrover]

Is this proper brown beer or that fizzy yellow lady beer?

[Rutter]

Innis and gunn beers are fantastic, not really session beers though as they are mostly 6%+

Any beers, fk it even lagers !!

My own would be Stella or Bud in the fridge and the stuff from Cromarty Brewing Co for a change, passing them tomorrow so hoping to catch them open to pick up a few for the weekend. thier AKA IPA and Happy Chappy are nice and not as flowery as some other IPA's.

Thinking about them started this thread.

As i live in Greece i'm giving a shout out to the Santorini Brewing Company and their Donkey range, i haven't had a bad one yet.

Proper Job, Tribute and Korev all Cornish and all lagers but 3 of my favourites full stop at the moment. Bloody lovely.

Great stuff.

This. They also do a standard strength beer at around 4.8%. Can't beat the 6% stuff, that and the whisky flavoured stuff.

Happy Chappy is lovely, nice and light with good flavour, had it quite a bit recently, thankfully I am only a few miles from Cromarty!
Lager wise I like crisp light premium stuff like Peroni or Menabrea and will usually stick to these on a night out as I don't seem to get too bad a hangover, however my guts don't seem to approve as much as my head and the pan can take a bit of a beating in the morning, window open all day!

[R1gtr]

Oh and this from Tesco is quite refreshing if ice cold

[SlowMoped]

Beavertown - Gammaray (Favourite IPA)
Beavertown - Bloody Notorious (a blood orange IPA)
Northern Monk - Eternal (a good IPA)

[Never you mind]

In order of favourite

Ainsty Ales Flumoxed Farmer
Leeds Pale
Landlord
Guzzler

And I don't mind Sam Smiths OBB.

Where abouts are you? My OH's gran stays about 7 miles down the road at Ardivalle (sp?) she's about half mile from the brewery as the crow flys across some fields. Heading up for the annual family festival this weekend

Another Black Sheep fan here.

Plus Adnams and Woodfordes.

Just across the firth in Dingwall, if you have not been before get yourself in to Cromarty itself and go to Sutor Creek for Pizza, best I have ever had!
Have a great weekend

Can I just point out one small thing. Southerners don't know how to pull a pint!

[PotatoSalad]

Black Sheep is excellent, I'm not a fan of IPAs but won't refuse any nice amber ale or bitter.
