Some ales after they've been in a cold fridge for two days? Fine, provided they're drunk quickly and not given the opportunity to warm up. Otherwise, ale is rancid stuff. Yack!

Its the morning after when I find broadside makes its presence felt... Combined with curry can make a potent brew!

All excellent choices, how about these, it's actually brewed 6 miles from my house at the point where we ML social riders watched a demo of Jash's awesome speed on that wicked descent, remember it?

Because the real ales are undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle/cask and as such need to be at a suitable temperature to let the yeast grow. Too cold and they don't do much.
Sounds like Yakult or something. Bleurgh!FCN 2-4.

Abbot Ale is fabulous and is my favourite beer/ale, which gives me an excuse to post this picture
Ruddles is also rather nice, and if your on a budget Greene King IPA is rather nice too, 12 cans for less than £8 from tesco at the mo.
I had something quite special a little over a year ago at a pub in Reading, called Bonfire Toffee, it was perfect for the time of year

Heretic. Burn Him!
It's because he doesn't really like the taste of beer, so he has to drink it cold enough to numb the taste buds. Perhaps he'd be better off with an alcopop?0 -

Mmmmm Abbot Ale is goooood
Also Badger Brewery's Tanglefoot, and their Golden Champion's lovely for the summer
Theakston's Old Peculiar is also a favourite
I used to be partial to Old Speckled Hen too... until I had one too many one evening(!)FCN 100 -
The Gale's Seafarer Ale is lovely (I am hoping that somewhere in my family that Brerwey belongs to us ) also a portion of the cost goes to Seafarers UK charity which have helped my Sea Cadet Unit in the past so spot on.
Also other good ones.
Tangle Foot
Admrials Ale
Spitfire
All of those are avaliable in the usualy super markets.
Go a little off the beaten track and there is a cracking ale from a micro brewery in Dorset called Piddle in a Bottle

I'm quite partial to Badger Ales, Tangle Foot being one of them. Hadn't heard of them until I found a mixed case of 16 bottles for £15 at Costco - gone through a few.
If you're ever in South Wales the Plough and Harrow always has some great ales with the added bonus of being in a great area for cycling.

Got introduced to real ales when I was assistant manager at Ye Olde Starre Inne briefly, when trained on cellar management I was told it was proper to taste the ales to make sure it was settled properly (had a bit of help in this from some friendly regulars from York Brewery!) and I really wish I kept some sort of record, or 'tasting guide' because there were some seriously spectacular beers coming through.
But my real favourite that I've not found elsewhere was Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild. It's quite rare outside of the immediate area of the brewery, so AFAIK we were the only pub in York serving it. And it drew so many drinkers in! Dark and sweet, sweeter than Old Peculier if you like that, but with a 6% kick. Lovely stuff, but I've not been able to find it since.This is my bike, there are many like it but this one is mine0 -
