My family are all Northerners except for me and my brother who were blessed to be born in civilisation, (that paradise known as "The South"). wink
Unfortunately, although all our women are stunners and we all live in mansions and drive flash cars, our beer is crap. In fact it's Crap with a capital 'C'. I am now to the point where I rarely drink beer as it gives me a stinking hangover every time. But I recently visited "oop North" and got bladdered regularly on Thwaites Bitter, the stuff of gods as far as I'm concerned because not once did I get a hangover.
So can we get Thwaites Bitter in the South, as none of my relatives have passports so won't be able to get further south than the Watford Gap and bring some to me? (Plus indoors toilets and electricity scares them).

I love LP but it gives me a hangover.
When I say our beer is crap I mean in the way it gives me a hangover - loads of them taste great.

Just making sure your 'south' includes the south west wink Try Cornish (St Austell, Betty Stoggs), Somerset (Butcombe), Bath (Bath Ales) and a bit further towards the midlands - Hook Norton, Purity etc.

This must be personal thing, as I live in Lancashire and regularly drink Thwaites, but it does give me a bad head. However, working in South (more missionary work than anything else) I do enjoy a drop of London Pride, especially as it never gives me a bad head.

Can’t believe the day would come, when I’m defending Southern beer against Northern.

Ostensibly, nothing. Apart from its little brother, Chiswick Bitter which (IMVHO) is a far better, tastier brew.
