I’m glad someone else can feel my pain! It’s no good chatting to the locals here - they just don’t understand!

Not dis-heartened though my search will continue, which has the rather pleasant upside of visiting as many drinking establishments as possible until I locate a half decent ale.

It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it.

I don’t even know what the difference is and I couldn’t name a single bitter or real ale. I am a bad person.

Geedos - im over in Aus travelling and i totally agree about the lack of good piss!

Best i’ve come across so far is James Squire - he makes good beer!!

It’s all about rebellion for ales for me

Hardy and hansons “Bitter” that is no more after they were bought out Thwaits at the Pen is a personal favourite, and down here in Bath we have two breweries which have delights such as “Bellringer”, “Gem” and “Wild Hare”.

There is obviously very few girls who regularly drink ales, but in places where they are more widely drunk (such as Nottingham or Bath where I’ve lived), then most girls are willing to try, and some quite like them - you’ve got to be careful not to pick a really dark, bitter, 5.5% one or something, but that Hardy and Hansons “Bitter” was liked by lots of females in Notts

My preferred poison is John Smiths or Tetley’s - as an afficionado I’m sure you’ll laugh in the face of my choice, however I would give my right arm for a decent pint of Smiths!

I currently live in Australia and everything over here is lager (although rather ironically not Fosters!) and although a few pubs do a few bitter imports I’m yet to find a decent pint of warm brown beer.
