All Timothy Taylor's beers are outstanding.

I just wonder if they travel well out of Keighley, though.

That said, go to the tourist trap of Haworth and I've found that not only are they spectacularly over-priced, but horribly watered-down too. 😕

Landlord is a quality beer although I've been told by someone (that should know) that it is difficult to keep (?)

I thought they couldn't top Landlord until I had a pint of Boltmaker - absolute nectar!

Not so keen on that one myself. A traditional 'Best Bitter'. I'm keener on the IPAs nowadays

I must say my preference nowadays is for blondes (yes, yes ::) ) and APAs.

Of the latter, Ossett brewery's Silver King is a real classic.

Yes the American-style pales are really tasty. Have you tried Goose Island (available in Waitrose)?

They do the Chinook, right?  Another tremendous beverage. :)

No, I think that's Elland Brewery, Yorkshire

Goose Island, not as good as it used to be now it's part of Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Used to drink the IPA when I worked in Chicago, when it was still an independent, their Honkers Ale was good too, very like an English Bitter.

Ah, the Chinook I was thinking of is by Goose Eye brewery, based in Bingley.

I used to live round the corner from Elland Brewery; they produce some real corkers too. :)

Juat having a chilled Leffe after a bike ride in warm weather. Lovely. 6.6% but slips down very easily.

Leffe Blonde is a nice beer. Used to be partial to a couple after work when I was in Paris. Nice glasses too. I've always found it goes well with nuts

Just had a bottled Asahi. Fabulous.

Just quenched my thirst after a 30 mile mtb ride with a pint of keg Beavertown Neck Oil followed by a pint of cask 61 Deep from Marstons - at the Old Hall Inn in Hope

Might ride out that way tomorrow. Wouldn't stop for a drink though and if it's warm I'll stay closer to home and have an Adam's Ale when I get back.
