the problem with bottled ales is they can be quite different from the draft version :roll: my local club does some cracking guest ales.
some real oddities in amongst them like one called palmers poison named after a murderer :shock:

morris dancers really? lager was produced for women as they could not drink bitter

As a CAMRa member and homebrewer I resent that although Morris dancing and ale drinking do seem to cross sometimes. :-t

If you are into bottled beer white shield is quite common and used to be good, I find bottled beer tends to be quite thin and gassy compared to on draught though.

I done a pub management course a while back & one of the teachers described CAMRA folk as Plain clothes Morris Dancers. =)) =))

quite a few local brew house to me that I like.
we had dunham massey at the wedding, was lovely.
there is one at tatton too, also wonderful.

I can spit on the burtonwood brewery from where I live right now, which is about as close as I want to get to it these days, used to be a great drop, now some brown wet garbage in a glass, so much so that there isn't a local pub that serves it anymore.

The pub I frequent is a JW Lees, their fire dragon or draymans ale goes down well.

bottled, you arn't going to beat a sheapherds neame or a badger really, black sheep is pretty close and the cumberland ales if stored correctly can be tasty.
