A pity we couldn't have got a local brewery on board. Or failing that, something drinkable.

Dishwater is preferable to Green King, should have got sponsored by Fairy.

I'm based down in London and know of quite a few really good young breweries here Brixton, Weird Beard, Gipsy Hill, Crate, Beavertown etc

I know of some of the older Brum breweries, but who is new on the scene making good stuff?

Oh dear. Not really something that shows up in the great H&V ale thread in Off Topic.

I grew up on it and quite like the stuff to be honest.

It has to be kept correctly though or else it's like drinking rancid arse water.

I prefer fizzy shit. But don't mind if we can make a bit of cash out of the beardy-weirdies.

I've just flushed something more palatable down the toilet, and I have an epic dose of the trotts.

Brixton and Gipsy Hill may taste nice but are overpriced hipster-fodder.

I'd rather have 4 pints of these, than 6 of Greene King for the same price. Tbf though I get a pretty healthy discount.

I had a drink of Bishop's Knob once. I wasn't in a pub, mind you. Great days.

Very good set up there, I didn't wait more than a few minutes to be served a good pint, even with 40 odd thousand there.

I can't say I'm exited by the GK link up, I'd rather drink lager than their stuff.
