Ale – a true pint of beer, none of that fizzy chavvy lager stuff, you know the type I’m on about reader: fosters (rat’s piss of lager world), Stella (wife beater) or any of the other names you can think of.
Yes I’m on about a good proper pint of beer, a real man drinks ale (in my opinion, yours may differ slightly on that I sure). But what is it that makes Ale different (obviously no bubbles and chavs don’t drink the stuff)? Perhaps it’s the whole process of how the beer is made? All I know is that ale tastes blooming lovely and id gladly have that over any other alcoholic beverage offered to me.
Whilst we’re on beer: if you’re going to drink the stuff, don’t ask for halves. Nope, beer is the kinda thing that should be drank in pints! I refuse to buy anyone halves (not that I ever go out anywhere to buy drinks – heck my wheelie bins get out more than I do). That is of course unless you’re driving but if you are….You shouldn’t be drinking anything alcoholic in my opinion so I refuse to buy drivers alcoholic drinks too.
So what exactly are my favourite ales? I’ve been sat here thinking on that one, here’s the list so far, of course that may change. Ah ha you maybe thinking: this is an excuse to get the blogger to make us check the blogs more often….erm possibly but hey you don’t have to unless you want to know which ales I like :-p Maybe I should do one on favourite brewers but so far I only hve two. Unusually if you’re going to do a top fave list, you should ideally list 4-5 no?
1 – Spitfire
2 – Old Peculiar
3 – Young’s Double Stout ( this is pure genius whoever made it should awarded a medal, beer and chocolate…tofuckinggether – come on its a dream match!)
4 – Boondoggle
5 – Bishop’s Finger (it’s tastes good plus it has a name that never fails to make me giggle)
6 -Hobgoblin (if there’s no other ale and this is on tap, ill always go for it. Not my fave but hey)
