    Can't agree more. Incredible bottle of ale.

    Badger hopping hare it's one of their seasonal ales but an excellent light beer along with Champion, Ferret, and tanglefoot.

    I would suggest you start chilling it less, you'll get a lot more out of it. I have a beer fridge so it's not as cold as the normal fridge, if I have to use the normal fridge then I just put it in a hour before I'm going to drink it.

    It's nice and I note that you like lighter ales - so I'll suggest Copper Dragon's Golden Pippin - probably my fave lighter ale. The Acorn IPA's are worth trying, tends to do a different one every month or 2, and as for a darker ruby ale - Acorn's 1887 Red is amazing.

    Had ages a go, actually brewed by Wentworth Brewery - they are ok, like a substandard version of the Wentworth equivalent. Decent for the money but seem a little flat compared to others.

    That's really nice, there's some Williams beers in Sainsbury's annual beer of the year comp, can't remember if this is one of them, so try local Sainsbury's.

    Best supermarket for bottled beers is Morrison's - excellent selection, many in a 3 for £4.50 offer.

    If you get the chance to sample Joker IPA, Red or Celidh I'd suggest that you do. There are loads more that I haven't tried but from what I've heard they're all stonking. Awesome brewery.

    Scratch that not for a long time business. Make that yesterday, and then some, with big ringing bells on.

    Never again, and this time I mean it.

    So what are you doing up so early now for then? If it was that bad you wouldn't be up at 7am and be able to type surely?!

    It's one of the reasons why I say never again. Always wake up early after a lot to drink.

    I know what you mean - I sleep badly after a drink or three, but I certainly can't focus on a computer screen or type legibly when I first wake up in the morning - so well done to you. Never again indeed. Anyhooo, off to bed it is for me after a very long day - waking up at 5.45a.m to catch the back end of the first half. It's now after midnight here. Good night all.

    Hopping Hare is a good one but Tanglefoot is absolutely atrocious. As bland and watery as Fosters but with on over-riding taste of metal. Well, that was how the two bottles I had tasted. Maybe it's better on tap.
