      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

              I can't at work >.> It will break the weak. It will see them driven before it, and it will hear the lamentations of the women. Is that a better review?

              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!

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

                      The plane fare to the pub down the road's cheaper.

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