London Pride & Spitfire beers are my favourite but tend to drink them in autumn and winter. Caffrey's is another one that I like but again it isn't a thirst quencher so I wouldn't drink this in warm weather.

On a slightly different topic can somebody tell me if Barley wine is realy a wine or is it classed as a strong malt beer? It is an acquired bitter taste, strong and hoppy and very potent. I haven't seen the stuff for ages. If anyone knows where I can buy it please could they let me know? I can't seem to find it in the local supermarkets.
