McGrath - looks like you don't travel too well after a few beers either!! Ever thought of disabling your spell checker?!Go for a Southern brewery, one that the Northerners won't have heard of, like Hall & Woodhouse, or Eldridge Pope or Palmers of Bridport (notice a theme here, fellow Dorset dumplin's??)
Get some Timothy Taylor and leave it to settle properly, you can't go far wrong with a good Landlord.... well I didn't last weekend, but that's probably enough of that!!
