Ah, that's a tricky one. Most of my commercial preferences aren't there.
Whereas there's a lot I've never tasted.
Most obviously missing:
Williams' Caesar Augustus
Williams' Joker IPA
Shipyard American IPA
Hatherwood (i.e. Lidl) Green Gecko
Or, if you're into decent purely-English - why not Ruddles bitter - �ã1 a bottle from Tesco
OK, I've tried 4 of these & I'm going to have to vote Brewdog - but any of the 4 above woud beat it for me

Quite surprised Young's double chocolate stout is in there. I like it but it's a very heavy beer and some would say too sweet (I've got a very sweet tooth)
Same here, i am definitely going to try that.

Ah well, hadn't spotted that! :whistle:
Interesting choice of supermarkets, though.
It's purely my fault that the nearest Tesco is well over 2 hrs drive away (Inverness).
But it's a long time since I lived near a Booths - are they still confined to NW England?
I think so, I haven't been in in a long time so they may not have much choice.

I'd pick goose island over punk ipa to be honest

Yes, Booths are still just in the North West. They're basically a regional Waitrose. Their selection of bottled beers is excellent though, the best of any of the supermarkets.
Thanks, i will have a look.
So its a -
Punk IPA as its got the most votes and the Youngs double chocolate stout to start. (not the highest votes but i like the sound of it)

I dont think you could get a more different two beers if you tried. Weirdly enough I think they'll complement each other. Kind of like dinner and a pudding
My lad (who started me on the Hobgoblin) is going to see what they have tomorrow.

Goose Island and Punk IPA both belters, goose island has to take it though.
Currently drinking a Broughton IPA. Any hop-heads that havent had it...have it! Its bitter!

Depends on the time of year - winter I like my dark 'warming' beers, summer I like my light 'BBQ session' beers.
You used to get the Youngs DCS in Morrisons, seems to be mail order only now... unless somebody knows where it's stocked?
TBH, I forget what it tastes like (YDCS), long time since I last tried it.
CraigTube rates it highly and has a clone recipe (untried). Hmm... might need to look this one up again for my Xmas 2016 tipple :grin:
Voted Punk as I could drink and enjoy that one any time of year :thumb:

I have found Goose Island in bargain booze, which one do you suggest i try first as i am hoping to get the Punk IPA and Youngs double chocolate stout and one of the following.
.
.
It has arrived, no Youngs double chocolate stout so he has brought 2 x Punk IPA 330ml (i guess he wants to try the other) and a Doombar 500ml, looking forward to drinking them later.
If your not a big beer drinker i dont think you will rate the Punk IPA tbh
The Youngs is a fine drink, I would think the Doombar will come out tops for you as its a very easy ale to drink
Thanks, i have just been told to drink the Doombar first as if i do it the other way round i wont be able to taste it, looking forward to my taste test later.
