Anyone for (boring) brown bitter?

Attachment 799The beer on the left was mentioned by myself in the IPA's the good the bad and the ugly thread (bad),it also qualifies for the boring brown bitter category as does its bed mate in this picture.

That's a shocker.BTW where did you get the chalk from,Moby

Not very often I get excited about brown beer these days, usually preferring pale or black brews. However, I think Frothingham Best from the Great Newsome brewery deserves an honorable mention. Brewed with Crystal malts and Pilgrim hops, it's really hit the spot the last couple of times I've tried it. Anyone else come across it? The brewery is based in Hull, so it may not have made an appearance dahn sarf.

Just drunk possibly the most perfect pint I've ever had the pleasure to drink, I am not a fan of brown beer in general but two pints of Darkstar Six Hop ale ,6.5%, was absolutely spot on tonight and in appearance brown ,albeit pale brown, but definitely heaven for me tonight, easily beer of the year for me already and I can't see anything to beat it at this point.

Now , now Moby this should be about brown and boring like my recent Banks bitter not great beers of the 21 st century.(and its not even brown to my eyes anyway.)

I saw it in this pub Hollybush so it has managed to reach south Leicestershire.

In recent months, I have twice encountered proper hoppy best bitters - wish I could remember the other, but one was Bristol Beer Factory's "Bitter Californian" - a hybrid between a traditional English Best Bitter and the wonderfully aromatic Californian Pale Ales, they say and I'd agree. Recommended if you see it on the bar.

The Six Hop was certainly on splendid form in the Cask & Kitchen yesterday, and my Spanish colleague had certainly never encountered a beer anything like it (having only experienced dreary cerveza until relatively recently...).
