    My first and regular beer was "Phipps Bison" brown ale in a bottle,sadly Watneys bought the brewery and the pub,Bakers Arms in Blaby,the beer was never any good after that.
    I worked behind the bar in a big pub and saw that all the "slops" pulled off to clear the pipes was put back in the "mild" as it was dark and no one would notice the lager and bitter that went into it,sort of put me off it a bit.

          My Scouse Uncle ( now sadly departed and much missed) always enjoyed a pint of mild, I always used to buy him some tins fro tesco when he came down this neck of the woods.
          Prefer the local ale meself.
          Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.

                Now that's a nice one! Ever tried the beers and barley wine from the Orkney brewery? Dark Island is good, so is Raven Ale (although I prefer the darker one). My favourite is the one called Skullsplitter, a barley wine. While it is seriously strong, the name comes from a Viking warrior of old "Eric Skullsplitter".

                  Skullsplitter 8.5% a tad too strong for me?

                    Actually, just remembered - my days as a barman I drank Molson Dry. Haven't tried that in years. In actual fact I'm not sure I've seen it for years either.

                    I remember a little fad that we had at parties of making a "chocolate orange" drink. Mix one shot of Tia Maria/Kaluha and one bottle of Britvic orange et voila, Terry's Cholocalte orange in a drink with a kick.

                          My first starter drink was brown and bitter.Half a pint of bitter and a bottle of brown ale all in an old mans glass (the one with the dimples and a handle)

                            Although I come from Manchester, I've always preferred Robinsons to Boddingtons. But I think the best pint I've ever had was in the bar of the Bass Museum, Burton on Trent
