Coming from a country that is proud of its marmite, I'd prefer not to meet the 'pint'.

Never met one, but I promise to taste everything you send my way :-\

One of the best beers in the world, from London? I wouldn't place the English anywhere near the top 500 X| :~ If you want to taste the best beers in the world, you come to Limburg; you'd be tasting Belgium beers in Belgium, German beers during Octoberfest, Dutch beer during Carnaval.

They arent lagers though, and I have a VERY big place in my stomach for Stella, brewed in Leuven, many a night I have enjoyed a dre en dirtije of Stella! :) UK beers are flatter, less gassy, brewed naturally, and when the vat is opened, it is open to the air, and has to be drunk ini three days. It is a very old, and natural beer. Not at all like a lager: British real ale - Google Search[^]

You can't get a decent beer there, not for love nor money.

Stone Double Bastard. If you can't hang, that's fine; and expected.

Nor coffee, strangely enough. In fact - nor tea either. I'm guessing those guys threw the tea in Boston harbour that time because they thought that was how it should be brewed.

I've been spoiled with tea, because I have access to super-duper high-quality Chinese teas, at a fraction of the normal prices. With coffee, though, I'll drink any old muck, as long as it's not decaf.

Thats three I never drank!
You'd probably like Black sheep[^]. The brewery was founded by Paul Theakston (Yes, that one) The beers are less mainstream than Theakstons, but without going extreme or ridiculous.

I am not sure if I ever tried it, if I did it was along time back, but its not one I drink today, so if I did, I didnt like it. :)

I can recommend a tour at the brewery if you ever get to northern Yorkshire.

I Recommend it - it's from your neck of the woods (Cornwall), so probably readily available when you're home.
Speaking of "neck of the woods", have you tried the Staggeringly Good beers? The brewery's right behind Fratton Park[^], and they have an on-licence. :D

Way better than this:

Poured into a chalice: color is amber, a little hazy, tan head with an amber tint, bubbles are fine to small, presenting 1/2 inch thick and lingering with a solid top, head laces the glass sides. Smell is sharp, might be the booziness, the smoothness and caramel flavors are hidden at first, then come through lighter than expected with moderate hoppiness. Taste is huge malt, heavy caramel and lighter molasses, sharp alcohol, big bitterness. Definitely a doubly arrogant beer, but also one I think needs at least a few months aging to soften the bitter, boozy blow. Mouthfeel is less sharp as it warms, moderate carbonation, smoothness starts to exude itself but the bitterness overtakes and bits the tongue. I tend to like big, malty, hoppy, smooth brews but the double bastard seems a bit young yet for the 2016 release.
Sheesh! It's beer, guy!

This is true. But that's an issue of geography rather than quality.
