They also did a pint called Rail Ale, which was class.

[PeckhamRose]

Rail Ale was the weaker, Firkin was the middle, and Dogbolter was the strongest.

Each of the Firkin pubs changed the name of the weaker pint to reflect the pub I think.

And yes, I loved all three, but Dogbolter was the Dog'sBollox.

I do rather like Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.

And most Porters.

And I have only found one pub in London that does Mackeson.

A riverside pub called The Hope and Anchor in SE7.

Does anyone know of any other pub that does Mackeson?

[Brendan]

Yeah the Anchor and Hope in SE7, ;-)

I had a couple of Magners on me ways home and man it was soooo easy to drink, Nice!

[Andystar]

Yeah, Magners rocks- i once had to pay ?5-6 for one on lordship lane once in a bar.. never went there again

[Mikecg]

FFS what a joke no wonder hundreds of pubs are going to the wall.

magners is great on a hot day, esp with loads of ice ( hey , im a kiwi, love freezing cold beer)

We charge ?3.50 for the big bottle which I think is a pretty good price

Just re-read this post and laughed out loud, my head like a nodding dog, very, very, funny.

Ale is for the refined palette,It takes time effort and research. A good ale "mentor" helps you appreciate it's subtleties.Go to any small town or country village and order a pint of their local ale & it won't be long before a regular strikes up a conversation with you, some how you slip through the net of suspicion easier.

I'm sure most are put of first time by quick a sip of warm muddy John Smith or a pint of cloudy Bass. I myself started out on "Badgers Tanglefoot" served crystal clear at the perfect temprature in a Sussex pub ( The Vine at Tarring) on a busy sunday lunch, free roast potatoes dusted with chili flakes served at the bar..............

ohh but they were the days....

W**F
