Thanks Teddy - I am due up in Scotland in a few weeks I will look out for it - The brew in Campden was called Campden Hells - Originally posted by Teddy Eagle
I like lager as well. One I particularly enjoy is Inniss & Gunn which is pretty widely available in Scotland - not sure if it's in England much. Can't say I'm a great fan of Craft Beer though which I find tends to be too tangy (and expensive).

Does anyone know the answer to this? BOTTLES of beer (not cans)...why does beer/ale/stout etc always come in 500ml bottles whereas lager is always in 330ml? There are larger lager bottles (play on words not intended), but they are merely 'doubles' ie 660ml. I'm talking about the standard size. Any truth in the theory that lager drinkers are, in fact, "shandy drinkers" or "park players" etc etc ie they can't cope with a proper-sized serving?

I'd assume it is to reduce the queue at the gents - less in = less out

Hip Hop from Langham Brewery [Link] just a stone's throw from me, is a firm favourite in these parts. They produce a wide range of beers to suit all tastes. So many interesting beers available all round the country these days. To think we used to rejoice at the sight of a Watneys Red Barrel Party Seven being dumped on the kitchen table just as the volume was cranked up.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

All that stuff had going for it was that it was easier to carry than a crate of beer from the pub (deposit on the crate and each bottle).

Had a few different Irish IPAs last night. Had Galway Hooker, Full Sail and some other one I've forgotten. Dying for a pint now I see this thread - thanks guys.

Is it an apocryphal story claiming that Special Brew was available on draught in the more colourful districts of Glasgow?
