Thread Name: BS: Best Local Beer/Ale?
Subject: RE: BS: Best Local Beer/Ale?
You know what is realy annoying about Shepherd's Neame beers, Arnie?

They are about twice the price of the same product sold 30 miles away in the Calais supermarkets! Apart from that they are very nice indeed:-)

One I forgot. As I said before I like Holts mild and mild beers in general. They are generaly lower in alcohol than bitters at around 3.5% instead of the common 4%-ish for bitters. Even lower is one of my all time favourites - Manns brown ale. At 2.8% it still has a wonderful flavour and body. Unlike the new realy low or non-alcohol beers.

Cheers
