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

    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.

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

      My God! Have you read its reviews[^]? They sound like wine w@nkers connoisseurs, not beer drinkers. A simple "It puts 'airs on yer chest and lead in yer pencil!" would have been plenty.

        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.

          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 Recommend it - it's from your neck of the woods (Cornwall), so probably readily available when you're home.

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

                      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:

                        Quote:

                        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.
