Hobsons - class. I think it is on a par with Holdens, Enville and the great Bathams. These Summer ales are ok for a pint but there is an overkill on them, dark beers have far more taste in my opinion and good to see MILD getting a mention from my esteemed colleagues on PG.

Wot no Highgate!?
Waes hael!
Highgate is beautiful stuff, too. Shame the brewery has been having more downs than ups in recent years.

I feel a sense of loyalty to Highgate as the brewery is based in my home town ..... but the Two Towers Mott Street Mild I had in the Brown Lion in Hockley today was mighty fine
I wonder if the demise of Tetleys is having an effect at some level? A case of valuing what you've got before it disappears.I do wonder if the current obsession that many small brewers are having with extremely bitter beers is creating this new appretiation of 'proper' ales with more subtle flavours?

Two Towers is one of my favourite beers at the moment. The Brown Lion is becoming one of my favourite pubs. Not pretty to look at inside, but very friendly and people are more than willing to talk to you. If you're in there, try the Jewellery Porter. But not all night! Its strong stuff and is one of the only ales that I can remember that gave me a hangover the following day. But lovely for one or two.
Having said that, I also like the Baskerville Bitter and Hockley Gold...
Went into the Queslett yesterday and what were their real ales - Jaipur IPA, Fuller's IPA, Pedigree Pale Ale and Brew XI. For an Ember Inn, the Queslett used to have a nice range of beer. It was all well kept, but it was a choice of a pale ale, or a pale ale or a Bitter...
