Well I can't drink alcohol any more, but Boddingtons never did it for me.

I used to like Theakstons Old Peculiar from the tap. Not keen on the bottled stuff, and guinness of course.

But I could never drink real ales - the sort of stuff they do at these beer fairs. I'd be drunk after 3 or so half pints. And I always liked to drink a lot.

there must have been a technique to drinking the real ales. don't suppose I'll ever know now. but I wonder what it was.....
