:D Can't argue with that.

I've no doubt we'll be visiting the Fox & Hounds sometime next week, as we plan to do plenty of walking. News of the King's Head reopening made my Mrs' day. Definitely one of her favourite Dales...

A cynical rewrite:

a) The farmhands have been drinking the stuff for donkeys years. It's a bland McBeer which they can drink a lot of before they get pissed.
b) We've been selling it for so long...

Easily my Black Sheep favourite too, but session beer! If I drank that all night I'd be a gibbering wreck.

If I was being cynical, I could just say you were very,very lucky! More seriously, I don't really know. I've not had anything by Black Sheep for months, as the pubs I frequent don't touch the stuff....

Haven't tried it, but will certainly look out for it. My initial gut reaction was possibly a little thin at 4%?, although I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. I've been meaning to suggest The Good...

As I hinted on the BOTW thread, Enjoyed the beer in Cornwall much more this year. Probably still dominated by Skinners and St Austell, but there seemed to be a much greater variety of brews...

For God's sake ROB, stop sitting on the fence and tell us what you feel! :D Must admit I'm still curious to try it, but there's no rush after yours and Oggy's judgements.

Thanks for the heads up on Helston fest. Unfortunately, we're travelling down on the 31st. After an 8-9 hour drive and pitching the tent I think we'll be fit for very little. Love the sound of The...

Heading down to St Ives agin this year, in a couple of weeks. Last year's holiday beers were dominated by the big three (Sharps, Skinners and St Austell) I'm hoping to find something a bit more off...

That pretty much sums up my view ROB. I don't actually go a bundle on mid brown bitters, but even allowing for the fact it's not my preferred style, I still find it quite a boring beer. Black Sheep...
