Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Stu Date: 27 Jun 05 - 05:05 AM Probably due to the English pastime of getting completey bladdered, loosing all dignity and respect (self or otherwise) and then behaving like a complete idiot in public (usually involving fighting, puking, screwing and generally acting boorish). The Cafe culture? Ha Ha! Totally incapable of controlling themselves. |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Rasener Date: 27 Jun 05 - 11:23 AM Bishops Tiple Such a lovely real ale, but not sure if it exists anymore. Any mudcatters out there drinking it. Incidentally Stigweard, Its not "a complete idiot" its "a complete twat" :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: lady penelope Date: 27 Jun 05 - 06:17 PM I believe Bishop's tipple is brewed on occasion, but not very often. It's also not distributed round a large area. So you can get it, you just have to know where and when...... TTFN Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Rasener Date: 28 Jun 05 - 01:05 AM I don't know where and when though. Good to see it is still alive. Does it have a sting in the tail :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Jun 05 - 01:47 AM Garg - time for your meds again.... CAMRA fully support the 'drink sensibly' campaign, which is more than most breweries do. I don't want to end up with a finger or toe trapped in an escalator (which is apparently one of the commoner injuries, people are drunk, stagger, fall over, get digits jammed in the cracks and become a statistic), so I don't drink that much if I know I've got a long journey to make.

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Dave Bryant Date: 28 Jun 05 - 06:57 AM Liz - yes it was a pity that you couldn't make the BBQ on Sunday - my beer seemed to be very well received. The main injuries seem to be hangovers, but Richard Bridge also managed to trip out of his conservatory (after being driven home) - I never knew that my brews were hallucagenic. Besides my own "Bryant's Porcupine Brewery" products, I enjoy Young's bitter, Fuller's Chiswick, Shep's Masterbrew, Harvey's Sussex, Larkin's, Charlie Well's Eagle, and many other ordinary "session" bitters. When I can get it Caledonian's Deuchars is a special favourite. |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Rasener Date: 28 Jun 05 - 02:39 PM Eric I have been down that part of the world and drunk that beer on tap, and it is very nice, but doesn't beat Bishops Tipple. I once went to Winchester to teach the MD of a company how to make spreadsheets. He was an alcoholic me thinks. Anyway at lunch time went down the local pub, and he challenged me to see who could drink more Bishops Tipple. As much as I wanted to take him on, I had to drive a considerable distance to get home afterwards. So I declined. However he went on a bender and I got the afternoon off becuase he was incapable of learning after that. Needless to say he got billed for the whole day. About six months later, the company went under. Now I wonder why. |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Les in Chorlton Date: 28 Jun 05 - 05:40 PM So much good beer so little time. Don't miss Marble beers, brewed at the back of the Marble Arch pub, Rochdale Road, Manchester and the Marble Beer House, Chorlton, Manchester to name just 2 of four! |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Dave Hanson Date: 29 Jun 05 - 02:29 AM Bishops Tipple eh, I will try it if I ever see it in a pub. Timothy Taylors brewery is ten miles up the road from me, I'm doing my best to make them successful. eric |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Liz the Squeak Date: 29 Jun 05 - 03:36 AM When I was living in Dorset, there were at least 5 working breweries; Eldridge Pope (Thomas Hardy Ale, Royal Oak, Dorset IPA); Devenish (Wessex, JD); Palmers of Bridport (IPA); Hall & Woodhouse (Badger Best, Tanglefoot, Golden Champ) and the Goldfinch Microbrewery in the Tom Brown pub (Finch). There may well have been other microbreweries that I never got to hear about. Dorchester then had 21 pubs, 2 separate night clubs and a working mans' club. Devenish was the first to go, followed by Eldridge Pope... Palmers and Hall & Woodhouse are still going, and I lend them my support by drinking as much Tanglefoot and Golden Champion as I can get my hands on in this desert they call London. The tally of Dorchester pubs that I can find is now only 14, and of those, several have had name changes. Tom Browns is still listed, but whether it still houses the Goldfinch brewery I know not. If you want to check the Pub list I used, feel free, but most on that list are only in the Dorchester area (radius at least 14 miles). Oh dear... got those beer scented homesick blues now...... may just have to arrange a weekend revisiting every pub in Dorchester again. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: For real ale I drink From: Les in Chorlton Date: 29 Jun 05 - 11:42 AM I remember a micro brewery in Moab, Utah. I think 7 beers were on offer. They were available as halves and pints butalso as a collection of 7 smaller measures so that people could sample all 7, great idea. Rosanne Barr's sister, out of the Rosanne sit-com, was in the night we went, which was either the night before or the night after Bill Clinton fianlly owned up about Monica. I don't know why am rambling on like this ........... oh, yes the beer was great. |
