>> Get some Theakstons Old Peculiar down yer neck.
Theakstons Old Peculiar...... Very good choice, my favourite beer ever (I quite like their Best and XB too).
As for Boddies, I have never quite worked out what is going on with that. They call it a bitter, but it doesn't taste or look like any other bitter. It doesn't taste like a lager either. The only thing it tastes anything like, IMHO, is soap; which I have always put down to Cussons factory being a couple of miles up the Irwell.
Maybe their export version tastes better?
BTW, has anyone tried their mild? I have often wondered what their mild is like but the only place I have every seen it is advertised on a board outside the Brewery Tap (the pub next to the Boddies brewery). I have never ventured in to try it, maybe I will next time I am in Manchester.
