    Wherry is one of my top 3 ales. And I live about 3 miles away from the woodfordes brewery.

    A personal favourite is Tanglefoot and most H&W beers seem to translate well into bottled beers - which is more than I can say for Taylor's landlord. To me the bottled 'pale ale' version just doesn't taste the same as draft landlord.

    Deuchars IPA is worth a mention as is 'OSH' (Old Speckled Hen). Others have mentioned Doombar and Victory although (I noticed Waitrose in Leeds selling these beers) but, as with Landlord, I don;t think either of them taste the same as their draft peers.

    Some of the 'Otter' beers are excellent. I was drinking bottled 'Blonde' in the summer. I can only assume it was a 'speical' as it doesn't appear on their web site.

    For me it's the wrong time of year for Pale Ales. It's the season for porter ales and chocolate malt stouts, winter warmers and maybe even a trip to Belgium to grab a few of their numerous dark beers (and perhaps catch a bit of World Cup cyclo cross racing at the same time). McEwan's* Champion ale makes a tasty compromise if Belgium is out of reach.

    I shall be visiting the Dudley Winter Ales Fayre tomorrow evening . I understand that they will be selling some very good bottled beers but they will also be selling some mighty fine cask winter ales, old ales, barley wines, super stouts and very strong pale ales. No contest.

    RHext is on the money with Meantime IPA, but it's not one you can have too many of.

    In warmer weather the Hopback Summer Lightning is indeed lovely. Tribute and Doom Bar both good in a bottle, but far better in a pint glass and especially in Cornwall. For me, the old favourite that I keep coming back to is Fuller's 1845. mmmmmmmmm!
    These so-called speed bumps are a joke....if anything, they slow you down.

    I did an epic lake district ride a few years ago and we called into a pub as it was getting dark and they had Timothy Taylor's on tap. It was really good stuff.

    The Britannia Inn, Elterwater. Timothy Taylors and Coniston Bluebird on tap. Which do you go for? Both if - like me - you aren't driving. :o

    P.S Why on earth would anybody want to drink sam smiths (other than price),
    It doesn't travel well,but,in Tadcaster,it's a very good drink.
    For a reliable brew,I'd have to go with Timothy Taylors

    Any of the Adnams Suffolk ales. Search out the Saint Peters organic ale from Bungay and Greene King IPA. Love them all and all relatively local to me. Reminds me, must order a pollypin of Adnams for Xmas. :D

    osset brewery's , barngate brewery(made at the drunken duck inn between hawkshead and ambleside) , Hawkshead brewery, copper dragon, and saltare all do really good bottled beers. I dont know why but i tend to stick to beers made in the north.
    The ride.

    Gotta agree that a pint of Greene King IPA is a great brew when on form :D
