Indeed :rolleyes: Though there's a more fitting anagram.

Little to do with a solera. Anything entering a solera this year isn't going to be drunk for years to come. They're
mixing new beer with a bit of old and selling there and then, a solera in...

The whole point of the solera system is to keep the product consistent over the years. What comes out of the bottom each is a blend of what's gone in the top over many years. The brew may change...

Spotted in a GK pub near Redditch this afternoon. I am fully aware that it's bloody awful even when at its best. I assume the last tubs left the brewery in December so I really can't imagine what...

I didn't think it was possible to make a beer which tastes of nothing at all, until I tried GK's hopeless and hopless Purple Reign last night. I wonder if they got the person whose birthday it...

Used to show up in M&B (in their Six Continents period) pubs all over the place 10 or 15 years ago, and indeed I see Beermad reports it as a defunct (obviously not) ex Bass affair. It struck me at...

'tis the season to be cheerless. Any number of abominable concoctions now appearing on bars, especially in chain pubs where corporate policy dictates guvnors stock such stuff. Regular punters of...

1981 GBG has "OG 1044 - a fine ale, well hopped with a distinctive delicate palate.
This year's entry we find "OG 1043, ABV 4.4%, hints of caramel and aroma and taste, lightly hopped for a short,...

Times change. I remember sometime in the seventies it started appearing more widely in London Charrington's pubs alongside their IPA, often then only real ale available in any pubs across great...

I don't know why they persist with it. I used to be all for keeping old brews going somehow when breweries closed their breweries to become pubcos, or were taken over and asset stripped, or some...

Morland's Bitter was a cracking session beer, very hoppy and easily gluggable. The Best wasn't bad either, a similar style but stronger. I cut my drinking teeth on Morland's beers and those of...

Was Pride the only thing they'd got on the handle? I fear Pride is the token real ale in too many pubs where the chances of the staff knowing how to deal with it properly and thus of it being of...

I quite like it but there's no accounting for taste...anyway does anyone know what's going on with Hadlow?

They have it as ".. a recent evolution from the successful bitters of the last century...

Excellent. But what news of Quinno. Have they discharged him yet? His review is eagerly awaited.

It's not difficult to be confronted by an entire selection of bloody awful beers of the week. You only have to be enter some wretch of a Sussex VintageEmberHarvesterTobyBeefeater whereupon your...
