I had my first "bad pint" of Tim Taylor's Landlord yesterday It looked ok but it wasn't just right so I changed to Phoenix Brewery "Spotland Gold" which was very hoppy but not a bad session beer as I was having a session at the time watching the City - Arsenal game.

Krohn Porto Colheita 1982

Ok, no Ale obviously. But proving to be a lovely tipple. Especially as it's present with a cheese board.

My word I do love Port.

out of curiosity... are any of you ale lovers familiar with or even know of the brewers of Wylam or Mordue? Both brewed fairly close to Newcastle and absolute rolls royce of beer makers up here...I was wondering if their good name has reached other parts away from Tyneside? Or maybe the pubs in yorkshire only stock local ales so you never get exposed too stuff from other parts???

i've had both. Mostly on holidays in Northumberland. Mordue was the better of the two as i recall! I have found a few bottles of Workie Ticket down here in the past and always snap it up. I think it is on of the best bitters around; amazing malt profile, lovely lingering bitterness and extremely drinkable.

your asumpstion about Yorkshire pubs stockign Yorkshire booze is pretty accurate. There's a few near me that have up to 8 on at a time, half of which are sub standard - but from Yarksha.

Both great breweries if you like a 'lagered' beer in a bottle, try Wylam's loco no1, outstanding

tonight ive been supping some Consett, Red Dust. A great ruby red. Also Gower, power! Fruity, flowery strongish IPA which I quite enjoyed
