[paul salliss]

For me it's Adnams Ghost Ship.......... A ghostly pale ale. I bloody love it.

So come on people what are you drinking this Easter?

Tribute from St Austells has been my beer of choice for many many years. A lovely tasting beer.

That is a magnificent pint and St Austells is one of the very best, I also love Abbott Ale

Hobgoblin, always have an abundance of it on board.. as you know Paul!

Harvey’s for me.

Harvey’s for me.

My son is 16 and has a part time job at a local golf club and they only sell Harvey's and agree it's a very good one

If you ever get chance to do the brewery tour it is very worthwhile, but make sure you pay to do the taster session afterwards.....make sure the other half is driving........

Sorry to ask a stupid question but is it in St Austell?? I played rugby against St Austell in the 90's and it was once of the hardest games I ever played in I will never forget that match

I would add, op asked what beer on board. If I was down the pub then a real ale I appreciate, I have been a member of CAMRA for years... so indeed I go to various beer festivals throughout the year.. where I doff another one of my anoraks.
My local serves Timothy Taylor LandLord so I do consume a fair amount of that, and they do serve Harveys which is also a good beer...to be honest so long as its not Scottish I like most golden ales. However for what I have on the boat, I find cans far easier to store on board & fit better, lighter and quieter underway in the bilges than bottles, however a lot of beers seem to change character in tins, but I find Hobgoblin still a decent beer from a tin...

+1 I have a large tin of Ghost Ship on board ready, as well as numerous assorted bottled beers.
One of my favourite bottled beers for a leisurely drink (not a session ale) is the Innis & Gunns original, which has a lovely smokey flavour.

On draught my favourite of all is Woodforde's Wherry, but only available in Norfolk unfortunately.

Otherwise I like to try whatever is local on draught, I love the variety on offer these days. I tend to go for the IPA type beers on the whole, although I used to love draught Hobgoblin you don't tend to see it very often and these days I find it a bit heavy.

Liberation Ale for me. Never heard of St Peters Brewery....where's the beer sold?

At 16 he is the right age to stat appreciating good ale :encouragement:

Yes the Brewery visitor centre is in St Austell. I also played rugby against them many years ago, we used to tour Devon & Cornwall every year.

I am a big fan of the Abbot as well. I did the brewery tour about forty years ago, bloody hell.
It was a grand day out but we lost some good men that day, one rolled out of the back of the mini bus.

...I shall be keeping a look out for the Ghost Ship.

St Peters Brewery Organic bitter is sold in Waitrose.

Sharps Atlantic is one of my current beers of choice. Other than that I have loads of 330ml Lager Cans, as they dont take up so much space. Camden Hells is my all time favourite.
