Either you are missing Addiscombe CC and its ways, or you're gloating. Not sure which.

Iguana Lager 5L
This Mexican-style light lager is low in hops and high in refreshment 4.0% abv

At the risk of sounding like Andy ;-) Green, I prefer something heavier on the hops and only available in imperial quantities.

Let's see - oh yeah, drink responsibly... So a really good idea to be sponsored by a brewery... :shock:

Has Singapore not caught up yet and made it illegal to be drunk in charge of a bike?

I prefer the darker beers to the hoppy ones Keith :D .

My current easy drinking favourite is Westerham brewery's Freedom Ale, although I was in the Green Dragon on Monday and the Dorking Ruby Winter Ale is very nice. It's a bit potent though so only two max of those or you won't be a pretty sight.

Westerham Brewery is open this evening (and is only a few miles from home for me). Unfortunately it clashes with the AGM. :-(

The Green Dragon had a barrel of it (Freedom) behind the bar on Monday :D . Not the same but Sainsbury's have had bottles of it in the last couple of weeks.

If you like a coffee beer Dark Star Espresso is quite moorish (Half n Half had some in about a year ago) and Tesco have had that in, bottled, lately.

To complete your supermarket tour for fine bottled ales then stop off at Waitrose who have a good selection including some Westerham ones (Scotney Best Bitter is good, British Bulldog is a bit powerful and "fighty"), other local brewer's beers like Hepworths, and as a bonus Ringwood 49er.

Last year M&S had a couple of very nice dark porters brewed for them by Thwaites or someone equally as good, very strong but very nice.

Is it me or is anyone else starting to feel thirsty?

What's the obsession with sponsorship?

Maybe being a member of ACC is so great, we don't need incentives to wear the club kit.... :wink:

Reading that has made me very thirsty and reminded me of how much I miss good ol British beer. They serve up mainly sh1t fizzy piss larger here in Oz although I have found 1 or 2 half decent ales, but still not a touch on British beer :cry: You do get the imported stuff, but that costs an arm and leg.

After ride drinks Amy, they aren't like SIS and actually hydrate our rides ;-)


Really? Still why have sponsorship as Dan says? And of all things, sponsorship from a brewery :roll:
