£1.80 a bottle from my local Costcutter (also where Richard Whiteley got his cheap cheese from, fact fans).

wow
i have a geeky ambition to go to Keighley one day on a Tim Taylors crawl, having never been in a Taylors managed pub. (i've seen one or two in Huddersfield, but never gone in.)
Camra has a more up-to-date British regional real ale 'league table' than the one i was hawking up thread, given their latest Good Beer Guide has only just been published
Greater London in a paltry 27th
oh also
i'm guessing the States still has more craft breweries in absolute numbers, then, by the 'per head' phrasing

Interesting stats there, Scott.
Now, am I totally out of touch and stuck in the past or is £7.20 a bit fucking cheeky for a pint of Grolsch and a pint of passable 4.0% bitter in a nice enough, but generally unremarkable, pub in E3? Yes, the Little Driver, I'm looking at you.
What was I saying the other day about local pubs closing down? Has to make you wonder whether some of them even deserve to stay open, charging prices like that. Obviously sterling's taking a hammering at the moment but unless my grasp of economics is even worse than I thought that shouldn't affact the price of products made in the UK, right?

That white beer done by Kronenberg is a disgrace. It tastes like a peach melba yoghurt.

Also because they called it 'Blanc', whereas it should be 'Blanche' ('biere' being a feminine noun). And it's a fucking French brewery!
Guess that's what happens when beers are created by marketing executives rather than brewers.
CHAOTROPIC
on account
Nah, they were just worried that everyone ordering it would start feeling like Vivienne Leigh. Which is a weird thing to feel like when you're having a pint

right it is that time of year again
(rolls sleeves up)
there are about twenty Robinson's houses that the brewery lets serve this from the barrel at the bar, otherwise it's draught and bottle w everybody else. i haven't actually ever seen a Tom barrel but i read in a local guide once this is the case.

One of my favourites. Best reached by boat. The Pickerel in Cambridge always had it on.

Top stuff.
This week has been all about
at the Clachaig in Glencoe.
(And a nice drop of Longrow CV - Springbank's aggressively peaty cousin - but that's off topic.)

V.delayed response, but The Grove in Hudds is well worth the effort (10 mins from station, over the ring road from the uni) though I'm not sure it's a tt pub. However it always has a fine selection of pristinely looked after beer.
Otherwise I'd recommend a trip out our way, if you are around leeds for a w/e- good beer abounds. Skipton brewery's golden pippen tastes REALLY good at the moment. Plus, not had the chance to check this new brewery out yet, despite locality:

wow, i really like the motif for the Ilkley pumpclips
etc
in what is quite possibly my new fave central Ldn pub, the Harp on Chandos Place [fancyapint?], one table has a large rubber beer mat w pictures of all the regular Tim Taylor's beers, it's quality, proper Yorkshire ale pr0n
this will suffice in its place

Does anyone know if you can buy gueuze in London for a decent price (had it in a couple of belgian bars, but haven't founda ny shops to buy it in yet)?

this site may (or may not) be of use, the shop they mention in Twickenham sells a Cantillon gueuze for £4.20, which is not disastrous i suppose.
think i'm repeating myself from earlier in the thread here, but i really like Drie Fonteinen oude gueuze
