Who's with me?

After many friends of mine calling me a man for drinking lovely guinness and real ale I have decided I need to make a post!

I think it should be promoted as a sexier drink, not some fuddy duddy boring brown drink that only old men in pubs with pipes drink**. It's a drink that I seem to see less of - my main problem is that only a few superpmarkets have a really decent ale section in the alcohol bit, you get a hobgoblin here, maybe another wychwood ale, possibly a fraoch, speckled hen, bomber, deuchars ... and pretty much thast's if you're lucky.

(**the hugest of apologies go to anyone who fitted that description exactly - it was just a bad example)

And why is it only Wetherspoons that have cottoned on to selling cheap ale in cities??? I know a lot of people who look down on Wetherspoons pubs, but they do massive cheap meals, and real ale sometimes from local microbreweries and have an ale festival every year across Britain. So (as a penniless student) I will not complain.

Anyway, join the revolution! CAMRA

Lots of love
